Cleve Dean (6’7″, 465 lbs) was supposed to be the final opponent of Sylvester Stallone in Over The Top. But the plans changed cause it seemed too irrealistic that the 169-pound Stallone beat a behemoth nearly three times his size.

10 inches or 9.25 hand? ¬¬
I will go with the more official source who saif 9.25".
And abou height? It's said he is 6'6, but have back issues. Heatly can being at 6'8. At 6'8 no doubt he has 10 inch hands or more. Btw, nice blog! 😀
His height was billed as 6ft 7in. 10" hand length are usually for the over 7ft NBA basketball player.
Cleve Dean's hand are most likely 9.25" in length as indicated on his arm wrestling stats. 6" wide is huge!!!
