    people have got bigger in the last 100 years. I went to museum and they were showing uniforms and clothing wore by famous people of the past, and some of the clothing looked like childrens clothing. People just keep getting bigger and bigger over time

    Those who think size is the only thing that matters in judging HW greatness are among the most ignorant of boxing fans. Fools, all.
