Very tall boxers don't usually do well in the heavyweight division.
Consider the careers of 6'7" Michael Grant, 7'2" Julius Long, 6'11" Marcellus Brown, 6'8" Tye Fields and 6'9" Evgeny Orlov.
Generally, these very big men are too slow-moving to succeed at the highest level.
There have been VERY FEW few really big men who are athletic enough to become world champions - they seem to give up too much speed and tend to LOSE TO SMALLER MEN, like Willard lost to Dempsey.
