    interesting photo comparing the sizes of old fighters vs new

    SORRY double post and it won't let me delete


    Tom Hawkins (260lb) Leonard Dixon (220lb) , Seal Harris (245lb)



    The men in the photo, 6 ft 7 1/2, 6 ft 5 and 6 ft 3 1/2 (which is in theory Foremans actual height although he is sometimes listed as 6 ft 4)


    Louis standing beside 6 ft 7 buddy Baer





    based on reference, the man beside wilder was Ortiz, 6 ft 4, I placed Ali in the same view just underneath him at 6 ft 3, made sure the belly button and shoulders were lined properly for proportion. Ali was easier because they both were on flat ground. I'm pretty confident in the Ali beside Wilder ref

    In the photos if we go by the year, Foreman is in his prime training for the Ali fight, he's in camp so likely around 224-230 (he fought Norton at 224) Wilder is weighing in in the photo at 219, Louis is in camp a bit past prime, likely around 210-215 thats why he looks a bit soft, Ali is prime 215 lbs
