Stevenson was 6'3". He looks about four inches shorter, about 5'11" I would say. He became very close friends with Stevenson - more like brothers than friends he said - and visited him in Cuba various times. Here they are together:

He lost by split decision to Page in a USA fight and we all know how honest boxing judges are in the USA, amateur and pro alike, especially to a big bad USSR Russian in the cold war. I never heard of Milian. Here is the only video bit I can find of Vysotsky vs. Stevenson:
Not all fights can be clearcut, but Page beat him. Jimmy Clark beat him once in two or three tries. And if the food was bad, and the water wasn't bad, Mitch Green would have beaten him at Alma Alta.
