••••••ONLY THESE 17 RANKED HIGHER****

Primo Carnera, 6' 9" (2.05 m)

Nikolai Valuev, 6' 11" (2.11 m)

Valuev actually was higher by about 2 inches

or did you mean the other :high?

If so, "smokin' bert cooper was only 5'11- But I heard he (stayed) high.
So you're wrong!!

I actually saw smokin Bert Cooper from a distance of about 30 feet as he was coming out of the Red Brick Gym in East Newark New Jersey in about 1997 ..
that mofo was high as a kite and looked a very dangerous man

Nice!

[SlimTrae]

didn't know he wrestled, acted, and had plenty of women around him.
So much for saying today's hw are bigger. Dude was ripped.

[brocktonblockbust]

fuck yeah, he was a beast. Did you see that uppercut on Sharkey where he won the title? No fix!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Where does the idea he was 6'9" come from?

Boxrec has him 6'5" and 1/2, Wikipedia has him 6'6.

Sometimes, the 'tape measure' is not your friend. Isn't that right Jennifer.

A web page I wont take seriously again: I stand corrected.

But hey..at least I admitted I didn't know much about the guy from the getgo.

Back in the day newspaper accounts

Nearly everyone lists Primo at { 6' 6" } in the 'Tale of the Tape'
