    Probably a modern featherweight that weighs 143 when he gets in the ring.

    That's why I picked Stribling, he moved all the way to heavyweight.

    I want to make a correction on Baby Ariizmendi neck size, I pressed the wrong key, it is 17" not 18". This is factual! A known fact.

    You made a good point, in the case of Rocky Marciano. However, he isn't the heavyweight with the largest (wide/thick) neck.

    Agreed, but perhaps the size of his head distorts the size of the neck he has a very large noggin.

    Baby Arizmendi and Eddie Machen heavyweight (tale of tape) were (both) 17 inches, the same.

    By the way, J.J.Johnston is a very dear friend of mine, him and Sean Curtin, are boxing historian writers. Anybody have their, "CHICAGO BOXING" book? If not, you should order one.
