Thanks Silkov for helping me to find out how tall is Eddie Cotton in height for the answer. Also help me and find out how tall is Wayne Thornton standing in height, please. The common things for both Eddie Cotton and Wayne Thornton is that they each both fought Jose Torres for his world light heavyweight title.

Eddie and Wayne also have several other things in common: Each has 2 O's in his name, a first name that ends in 'E,' and a last name that ends in 'TON.' But I wonder, how long was each man's middle name in length? Does anyone know?

Also, how tall was Torres in height? Silkov - can you help out with your new measuring instrument tape measure, please?

Kovit... Thornton was about 5 foot 11 I think. Thornton and Cotton actually fought eachother too.... Thornton won on points if my memory serves me!.
Bollocks, my measuring tape seems to be taller than yours.... I like the silver casing though!.....

Mrs. Bollocks would like to add that she likes the locking mechanism that prevents sudden retraction, too. ;)

Pompey before he was blown out in his legendary fight with Vesuvius, or after? As I recall Pompey gained about 50 feet in height during that fight, but all of it was finegrained volcanic ash which severely hampered his mobility.

kovit · Post by **kovit** » 08 Apr 2004, 15:16

Is Yolande Pompey standing 5'9 or 5'10" in height?

silkov · Post by **silkov** » 08 Apr 2004, 15:17

kovit · Post by **kovit** » 08 Apr 2004, 15:18

silkov · Post by **silkov** » 08 Apr 2004, 15:18

Thanks Silkov for telling me the answer.

Say I wanted to ask you how tall is Ray Anderson (who fought Bob Foster in 1971) standing in height?
