Tommy Morrison, standing at an imposing 6ft 1 (185.4 cm), leveraged his tall, powerful frame to dominate the heavyweight boxing division as a professional fighter in the 1980s and 1990s.
His height contributed to his knockout prowess, including victories over champions like George Foreman for the WBO heavyweight title, and memorable bouts against Razor Ruddock and Mike Tyson.
Morrison's commanding stature also translated to the silver screen, where he portrayed the cocky challenger Tommy 'The Duke' Gunn opposite Sylvester Stallone in Rocky V (1990), embodying the physical threat his real-life height evoked in the ring.
