How tall was Les Darcy really? I see a photo of him standing beside Jeff Smith and they seem identical in height and Smith is listed as 5' 7 ½". In a similar photo, Darcy appears a bit shorter than Eddie McGoorty and he's listed as 5' 10½". I'm thinking at his peak Darcy was taller than just 5' 6".

A lot of good middleweights were not very tall. Years ago most Rugby League half-backs were 5'6" tall. Rocky Graziano was only 5'7" and he was a great middleweight.
