Biography According to the record books, Bonham packed 210 pounds on his 6 foot 2 inch frame but that was a very modest estimate of his poundage, at least for the last couple of years. His nickname of Tiny was the paradoxical reflection of his physical proportions. New York Times, September 18, 1949.
