Lex Luger then and now...which one of these 2 pics look better?

Question

Some guys around here in one of my previous questions,claimed that they are like 6'3" 165 lbs 6'2" 170 lbs. But my opinion is for a tall guy like 6'2" it's ideal to be over 220 lbs..just look at Lex Luger here:

The man is 6'5" and he was once 270 lbs. Now he is TERRIBLY EMACIATED and he weighs just 170 lbs according to some sources. Seeing him in his current condition it's SAD.

So I'd like to ask all those tall and lanky guys,who think they are ok...which of these pics do you consider more normal? Personaly the 1st,the buffed one.

Lex Luger was nowhere close to 6'5". He's actually closer to 6'2".

At 6'2" you can be 185 and still look pretty decent. I think even 220 is kinda buff at that height.

according to this site he is 6'5" link Probably he has lost about an inch or even 2 nowdays, because of age or bad health. Unless he was 6'2" back then and 6'5" was his billed height.

There's definitely more than a 4" height difference between him and 6'9" Kevin Nash during Luger's peak. Wrestling tends to over-inflate wrestler's real stats. Like The Rock was never 6'5" and Batista was never 6'6".

It seems he is about 6-7" shorter than Kevin Nash if he was standing straight,but if I remember well,Kevin Nash was billed as 7' tall

Here's a mugshot from Nash. He must be 6'11" if not a solid 7'

6'5" Barkley with 6'2.5" The Rock who the WWF claimed was 6'5".

Shaq, who is a legit 7 footer is clearly 1-1.5" taller than TBS...who is at least 2.5" taller than Kevin Nash.

WTF? The Rock looks very skinny in this pic. Now about Big Show,during his WCW days when he was "Giant" he claimed to be 7'4". But as Big Show he went down to 7'. Btw,do you know how tall is actually Kane. He claims to be 7' but many people claim that he is 4 or even 5 inches shorter.

There's a site called celebheights.com that lists the true heights of people. Most are fairly accurate. However, as you know some people wear lifts and thick heeled boots (as many wrestlers do). Kane is probably closer to 6'7.5" to 6'8", still a monster of a dude, but when compared to Shaq:
