    There's a picture of Lewis and Paul Wiliams standing next to each, not that much difference in height.

    The original Jersey Joe. 5'1" tall, and a ball of muscle would be the " inch for inch " king.

    i thought about it before.
    foreman is 2.5" taller than nunn even on paper btw.
    it can simply be consisted of catchweight fights with limitations on the weight and height differences . this way there will be no bad mismatches such as norris/klitschko , norris/tucker , norris/akiwande , tua/lewis , klitschko/mercer , etc.
    valuev will only be allowed fighting the klitschkos , mccline , austin , tann , etc.
    it would have been great.
    the matchups you mentioned will not be held because of weight differentials.

    ****. You'd have Valuev fighting James Toney :lol:

    Wait... That could actually happen. I forgot, they're both FAT ****S.

    Anyway... Marciano-Arguello would be painful.
