Agreed. And he would still be considered a monster because he could punch like a SOB.

I always thought that was the effect of gravity. He got so fat he was being pulled in further towards the Earth's core, hence lost some height.
On a more serious note, to me he looked a good two-three inches shorter than Nunn, whose listing also mysteriously zipped from 6' to 6' 2" on occasion.
