Does anybody have any idea how much Tkachenko weighed when he was playing?

There was no food in USSR at those times

I thing this info is wrong. He was 111 kg when he was 15 y.o. may be

I remember him playing. He looked like 135-140 kg...

there were tall players that didn't weight more than 120 kgs
Rik Smits 2.23 - 113
Vrankovic 2.17 - 116
Mutombo 2.18 - 112

and he may be was tall but he wasn't very bulky
so it could be right... give or take 15 kgs

Wikipedia info is wrong. If you compare him with Sabonis back then, Tkachenko was much stronger, wider, brawnier. He had very strong legs. He was 120 kg for sure, maybe a dozen kg more, who knows.

LOL, no way!

Tkachenko was taller and much bulkier than the aforementioned Vrankovic for example that is listed at 116 for example!

Oh and this kilos are not THAT much. I'm just 1.91 and I was 118 at some point at I was not looking that fat actually...

On the other hand, you can be Manute Bol, and be 2.31 and 102 kilos (or 98 according to other sources)...
