So what was Baer ?? 6-2 6-3 ??
Carnet a is only 2-3 inches no more bigger then him.
I'd go with 6-4 6-5 max for carnera.
He was extremely thick set & would of looked humongous

Foreman's another guy who gave the impression of being taller than he actually was because of his huge frame.

Jack did offer his chin up as a gift.......But he had to do it several times before the big mook recognized it was Christmas.

To bring this back I think it is fair to say Carnera was 6-6.
