Ok Rory, your bored right? But I'll take the bait on this one. Valuev? Can't think of anyone who can top him for just plain old largesse.

Does he outweigh Butterbean?

With his 6'8 - 450 lbs frame (or thereabouts), I think Frankie Finnegan is the largest fighter that I've ever heard of in my lifetime.

Just another stupid thread, a la TBE to boost his "posts" numbers when he could be looking this crap up for himself in the archives or on other web-pages that give individual stats.

Those guys standing behind him are on a 2 foot riser. Gives you some idea of his height.

Butterbean's boxers are probably the biggest.

:o That is bloody huge, over 30 stone (I was doing counting up at school today.)

If you look at his last (of three opponents to, Brian Aro, he was only 200lb. OUCH! In fact, he only lost MD to Finnegan, whilst losing TKO1 to his other two opponents.

Actually Finnegan's weight must have been a total hindrance, as he also took 2 rounds then later only a UD to beat his other opponent. Everyone else the guy fought beat him within a round!

It's a strange world.
