Hearns was much taller than Khan at almost 6 foot 3 inches.
What's the sense in exaggerating Hearns' height? The dude is tall enough as it is; he doesn't need an extra two inches to make him all the more menacing.
No, those are only for Boxers who have not died yet for the most part. Khan would be dead before Hearns pulled his right hand back into place. Coffin is more like it, lol.
