Max was a lovable clown who should never have been a boxer but was one of the hardest hitters in boxing history. So: two actors on one TV show who were telling the truth about their heights. Max was a little taller at 6 ft 4 on The Beverly Hillbillies. I would guess Buddy Ebsen's height at 6 ft 2.
Laughran was listed at 5'11, lbs and Carnera at 6'6" and He lost on points to a 5'10, lb. When he did stong stunts he actually looked like he could. He always looked 6ft 3and half to me.

However, his total disdain for training caused him to lose his title to underdog James Braddock less than a year later. His next fight was a controversial knockout loss to future heavyweight great Joe Louis. Louis gave Baer a horrible beating, and Baer was counted out on one knee. Many experts felt that he could have gotten up but quit.
A short-time later he retired. However as is the case with most fighters, Baer launched a comeback and shocked the experts with an upset knockout victory over top contender Tony Galento. Sadly, Baer met his Waterloo at the hands of young Lou Nova and retired from the ring. He died at the age of 50, suffering a massive heart attack in a hotel room. Sign In. Edit Max Baer.
