    At a hair over six feet and 213 pounds in his prime, Sonny Liston did not need to counter that statement on his own behalf. Although, he was the biggest most Paul Bunyan-like man his size, mayhap ever in the existence of humanity. No man his size was bigger or more treeish. I know that much. What a man.

    I wonder what Holmes had to say about size?
