** And figure skating, both men and women. Subverted in this performance by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1T61vX4wm4 Olympic gold and silver medalist Evgeni Plushenko] (who is pretty tall, but goes more for the [[Deadpan Snarker]] and possibly [[Sad Clown]] ways)
* Russian boxer Nikolai Valuev, former holder of the WBA heavyweight title, is seven foot tall and weighs 325 pounds.
** He suffers from [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Acromegaly |acromegaly]], which is rather evident from his face structure. And one of the symptoms of this endocrine disorder is gigantism -- famous French wrestler Andre The Giant (who also had acromegaly) even got his nickname from this condition!
*** [[Cultured Badass|He also writes his own poetry.]]
** Also, Ukrainians Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, who stand at about 6'6 and 6'8 respectively, and go into the ring at 240 and 250 pounds. They hold all four heavyweight titles between them. [http://x17.xanga.com/a86f513064730257045933/w204517171.jpg A Klitschko fist may be bigger than your head].

* Vodka Drunkenski in ''[[Punch Out|Punch-Out!!]]''
** [[Frothy Mugs of Water|You mean Soda Popinski.]]
*** ''[[Punch Out]] Wii'' turns this [[Up to Eleven]] by making him, 6'6", the tallest character in the game even taller than [[Final Boss]] [[Scary Black Man|Mr. Sandman]] {{spoiler|although he might be shorter than [[Donkey Kong]]}} and he does the cossack dance when he wins. Also, in a possible [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[Rocky IV]]'', after losing to Mac, scientists create a chemical formula to make him faster and stronger. ''* COUGH Ivan Drago COUGH!* ''
*** The funny thing being that the contender mode montage (instead of the tougher Title Defense mode) features him performing rustic workouts like Rocky did in that movie.
* Likewise, Bayman from the ''[[Dead or Alive]]'' series, although his character seems to be a touch more intelligent than the usual. But just a touch.

* From ''[[Open Blue]]'''s v4, [[Four -Star Badass|Admiral Flota]] Vladimir Ilyavich Tokarev, '''[[Shout -Out|HERO OF]] [[Ciaphas Cain|THE TRIBES]]''', is like this only when fighting hand to hand or pissed off. Otherwise, he's a cunning strategist who would rather blow you up with his ultra-long-ranged rocket launcher than [[Leeroy Jenkins|charge straight at you without thought]] if he thinks it more efficient. Of course, he's just as likely to be firing off said rocket launcher while charging straight at you without thought...
* From ''[[Darwins Soldiers]]'', Piotr Kozlov is a hulking Siberian [[Funny Animal|grizzly]] [[Everything's Worse With Bears|bear]] with muscles to match his [[Genius Bruiser|brains]].
