I've been in the company of the biggest of the big, and believe me, Kovacs was simply inhumanly gigantic.
I stood in a smallish washroom while Greg gave me and Paul Gardiner a preview of his physique, as he was beginning his prep for the Canadian Nationals, weighing 385, and he was NOT fat. True, his ab wall was titanic, but the man's sheer muscular bulk was something the likes I haven't seen since.
There was zero chance he would live a long life.
Words cannot express the muscular size of "prime" Kovacs.
