Holley Mangold (5’8”)

You might be thinking that her height isn’t very impressive for the list but Holley Mangold deserves a spot because she weighs a massive 415 pounds and she’s among the largest female weight lifters of all time. She competed in the 2012 Olympics for the US team in the super heavyweight division and her personal best is 562.2 pounds for lifts – super impressive. A lot of people don’t know this but she was actually able to use her superhuman strength in a dramatic real world event. She got into a head on collision that wrecked her car but she succeeded in actually pulling herself out of the very dangerous situation.

Nikolai Valuev (7’)

With a towering height of 7’ and a massive weight of 331 pounds, Nikolai Valuev is the tallest and heaviest world champion in boxing history. This former champion held the heavyweight title two times, between the years 2005 and 2009, and he had a successful boxing career, having 50 wins out of 53 matches and 34 out of the 50 were a knockout. In 2009, he made a decision to retire, which left fans wondering what his reason was, but it was later revealed that he retired due to physical injuries with bone and joint issues from boxing. After this, he went into politics (though he did some acting too) and got involved in a different sport called Bandy (sort of like Hockey), becoming the VP of the widely known Russian Bandy Federation.
