    Gogea Mitu was actually taller than 7 11 but they made a mistake in the papers.

    Some of these guys are huge,for years Jess Willard and Carnera were the tallest champs ever,i know these are just fighters not champs.I think Akinwade is 6ft 8(not sure)so maybe he should be on the list
    How did guys like Mitu rankin and cully do as fighters? Ive seen first hand how bad Long feilds and Whitaker are but i will be honest ive never heard of the top 3.Im guessing they were awful but would be interested to know for sure.

    Mitu was 8-2 I believe with all victories coming by KO.His only defeats were to Carnera and George Godfrey.
