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

'Il Facto Mundo'
October 20, 1933
Just 2-days before Primo was supposed to defend his Heavyweight Championship against
Spaniard - Paulino Uzcudon >
Primo was questioned about his conditioning, and lack of intensity, just after he went
'8' light Rounds with his '3' sparring-partners.
To shut up the Boxing Press, Primo donned his Robe and put back on his Boxing Gloves
and got back up in the Ring.
Primo then went 15-Rounds with his '3' different sparring-partners.
* Art Huddick
* Harold Mays
* Raul Bianchi
Then after he was done sparring, Primo hit the 'Heavy-Bag' for 15-Minutes straight without a break.
After that exhibition, Primo calmly walked back to the Press Area and sat in his chair, without
saying a word.
Then Primo had a large glass of Orange Juice and a 'Biscotti', and politely smiled at the Press and asked >
"Are there anymore questions."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Afterwards, it was overheard that Benito Mussolini commented on Primo's remarkable display of stamina.
"Primo, you magnificent bastard."

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

If you remove Holyfield (Evan Fields) your list becomes a lot more respectableQuote:
