Primo Carnera, 6' 9" (2.05 m)

Nikolai Valuev, 6' 11" (2.11 m)

Valuev actually was higher by about 2 inches

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

So much for saying today's hw are bigger. Dude was ripped.

[brocktonblockbust]

'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."

[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.
