    8'11" is the record.

    If he were 8'7" he would be immortal, Luke. Think about it.

    The reason Marciano had such an easy time is that he was too small to hit flush on the chin. Recent heavyweights would just get plowed down by him. He had tremendous strength, endless stamina, and excellent strategy. He fought in a different style every time, depending on the opponent.
