I always hear a lot of **** that Canelo is so short and all picture of him are misleading... but he never looks to be the smaller man in the ring at 154... always looks to be bigger... and most weigh in shots he seems to be 5'8-5'9 I can't believe people who say he is 5'7 some say its his hair, but look at the eye line, and forehead... He is just as tall as mosely who is listed 5'8 1/2 This content is protected This content is protected Rhodes is listed at 5'8 1/2 This content is protected This content is protected
He looks to be about the same height as Mosley there. I would say tall enough to beat Austin Trout by decision.......hopefully.
de la hoya is 5'10". does that look like a 5'9" guy standing next to a 5'10" guy? b-hop is 6'1" and slouching over. does that look like a 6'1" guy standing next to a 5'9" guy? 5'8" rhodes/5'9" canelo http://www.boxnews.com.ua/en/news/9142/2011-06-18/Alvarez-Rhodes-make-weight like you mentioned, look at the eyes and not the hair. also, the chin and nose as well. 154 has historically been a 5'9" -5'11" weight division. right now, who cares about canelos height limitations? why hasnt the trout fight been signed yet?
De La Hoya has 2 inch cuban heels on in that picture. The other guys are wearing sneakers. He's a shade over 5'8'', I'd guess, Floyd is a legit 5'8'' or just a hair under.
The ginger is around 5-8 I believe. Cotto's size. But really, why hasn't the trout fight been signed yet. Is Trout scared of him or some other $#it??
what about the 5'8" rhodes photo? 5'7" forbes next to the 5'9" canelo http://mysportsportal.com/news/wbn-photo-canelo-alvarez-and-steve-forbes-pose-before-spar-session
So he is 5'8 in you opinon, and looks to be closer to 5'8 1/2 not far off for being so stocky. I don't man, I was just looking at old photos and that mosely picture was cool cause it shows how exactly they are standing and with both shoes... so I posted it, cause you know me I post about 20-30 canelo threads :bbb ha And that Trout fight I am awaiting news as you are... Lara or trout, I'll be excited, Angulo-Molina-K9/Ishes winner, DROD would be MEH for me. Now a 147 I'm writing hate mail lol
Here is the Rhodes picture who is listed at 5'8 1/2 at boxrec This content is protected So IMO Canelo for sure is 5'8 1/2 - 5'9 closer to the half though
I'm trying not to post misleading photos like that in which one fighter is in the back the other in the front taken at an angle... you love this photo to aid in your hate in portraying canelo as a midget.. which is why I am posting **** which they are facing each other in the same position, at a level shot.
now ive been pretty adamant the last four weeks in saying that canelo is going to step up and fight lara or trout(i would even respect kirkland as well) on may 4th as this is the best fight for the first half of 2013. now youve previosuly stated here on the esb fourms that youre going to throw down the hate if canelo fights angulo(coming off a ko loss, seven months in prison, and a horrible win over a career unranked ww). i believe it was something on the lines of blowing up his twiter page? now its MEH as opposed to the hate card? if canelo backs out of the trout fight now after he promised all of his ardent fans that he is set for may 4 trout i would expect nothing but canelo backers to be more pissed off than canelo detractors. i do not know why this fight has not been signed or announced yet.
hes not a midget. he is short for 154. 5'7" to 5'8". i cant remeber the last time there was a successful 5'8" jmw let alone a dominant one(ike quartey and kassim ouma fought but were never succesful let alone dominant). and i dont hate canelo. i hate what he and gbp are doing to boxing and the absurd irrational comparasons to fernando vargas and donald curry when canelo has done absolutely nothing to justify it(comparason). canelo has to step up on may 4. there are no more excuses and time has run out.
Go worry about Riglassdeux getting laid out... Like I said have your kleenex ready its gonna be a sad year for cubans. 10 fights and stepping up to Donaire thats some courage or stupidity from his team, his fans making him think he is superman trying to take on DOnaire, but that glass chin will be the end of him.
DLH is 5'9 at least mate, Floyd and all the others all are smaller than listed I reckon, these welterweights are to bulky to be as tall as they are listed, ortiz is a legit 5'9 I think.
