    I remember in college thinking darn, I'm already bigger than Dempsey, and Marciano, and Louis. I prefer the heavyweight champion to be at least bigger than me, and it was in the 1990's for the most part.

    These days, however, it seems like almost all of the top prospects are between 6'4" to 6'8" tall with some of them having an abundance of muscles. You just do not see anyone really good on the way up or at the top who's under 6'2" tall.

    I think this is going to be the standard for the next 30 years or more. They can't get much bigger and still have skills and stamina, can they?
