As per The Ring magazine May 1953
The above are Marciano's vital statistics as reported in his prime. There are many disagreements on his height. I've seen it listed from as short as 5' 10 1/4" to as tall as 5' 11". Most likely it was the usually quoted height of 5' 10 3/4", rounded up to 5' 11".
As to his weight, it varied, as is true of any heavyweight. (Of course, today their weight varies by 20-40 lbs due to lack of training discipline.)
In Walcott 1....184 lbs.
Charles 1....185 1/2
Moore....188 1/4
