How tall was Percy Bassett?

Post by DaveyMac »

Does anyone know? I can't find measurements for him anywhere. I watched the Carter fight and he looked a lot shorter than Carter who was a big 5-6 but then I watched the Famechon fight, who is 5-6, and he looked about the same size.

So safe to say, I have no idea :)

Anyone know for sure? Or have a good guess?

I don't even know who he was.

I'm going for five feet four, though.

Well friend I'm guess that is why God made google. Look him up.

I guess if I had entitled this thread Percy Bassett 1954 "I can beat up 13 year old Muhammad Ali any day but they won't let me because nobody knows how tall I am" it would have gotten more replies.

Sad state of the internet. Nobody cares any more unless there is an argument to be had.

In the Sonny Boy West fight he's descibed as 5 foot 5 and a half so you were close. Came in at 132 for that fight.

Was he related to Bertie Bassett? If so probably quite short.

Don't blame me for the fact that nobody cares about your thread. I restrict google look ups to things I give a fornicate about.
