Since Yao hung up his size 18s, Internet users have marveled at

Since Yao hung up his size 18s, Internet users have marveled at photographic evidence that he is taller/bigger than a wide variety of people and things, including (but not limited to) figure skater Michelle Kwan, a rhinoceros, a baby elephant, Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, politicians at the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio, a waitress and all of the other great big men in Rockets history.

Pacquiao is listed at 5-foot-7, while Rios, is listed at 5-foot-8. Yao is nearly two feet taller than both of them.

Pacquiao and Rios met Yao in China during a promotional trip to drum up interest in their Nov. 24 pay-per-view fight. It is good that they will be punching an opponent of roughly even size, rather than one of Yao’s stature, because that would be a real “Little Mac” type of situation. No word yet as to whether Yao will be in attendance at the fight, which will be held in Macau.
