Ken Norton's height

Post by goose 5 »

I've seen some references to Norton being measured at 6'2.75" inches by the Marines Corps. Does anyone here know where Norton made that statement-was it in his biography ?

there was a thread on this subject some years ago.
I will try and find it and bump it back up.

Foreman was listed as around 6'3. From memory he looked a lot taller when they fought... However Norton always had his chin tucked in and was never stood tall in fights.
