Who is/was the biggest guy in history?

We don't know for sure but ancient accounts were exaggerated, and keep in mind that average heights were smaller before the modern era so somebody who left humanity behind back then might look like a modern NBA player today.

My guess is Robert Wadlow, who was like 8'11'' when he died in 1940.

Maximinus Thrax, who by all accounts was an enormous man. He was well over 8 feet tall. His thumb was said to be so large that he wore his wife's bracelet as a ring for it. He was in any case a man of such frightening appearance and colossal size that there is no obvious comparison to be drawn with any of the best-trained Greek athletes or warrior elite of the barbarians

Charlemagne?
His name is literally Charles the big

>the Dead Sea Scrolls text of Samuel, the 1st century historian Josephus, and the 4th century Septuagint manuscripts—all give his height as "four cubits and a span" (6 feet 9 inches or 2.06 metres)
>the Masoretic Text gives this as "six cubits and a span" (9 feet 9 inches or 2.97 metres;)

Charlemagne's skeleton says he was somewhere from 6' to 6'3"
