    No way is he 5 ft 9 isnt Trout 5 ft 10
    The boxers heights are so off, I saw Khan listed as 5 ft 10 once but he really isnt that big or he'd tower over everyone

    Mosley is listed at 5'9" and he's a shade taller than Nelo.

    Probably 5'8"-5'8" and a half.

    IMO 5'8-5'8.5 but showtime had him at 5'7.5

    IT made no difference Canelo doesn't have TREX arms like Cotto and has is bulky and full of power.

    He's gonna look like a beast at 160 when he gets there in a few years... Short stocky and built like a tank, I think his power and stamina will increase once at 160.

    Compared to other boxers he is 5'9". 5'7 1/2" is his real height which somehow has come out in the public eye. Trout appears to be listed at his actual height (5'9 1/2") which is very rare. He could get away with 5'11".

    1 1/2" is a pretty good estimate for the amount you can chop off listed heights to get real heights generally. JMM, Pac, Mosley, Mayweather etc are all over-listed by about this much.

    Yeah, I remember reading on the Wikipedia that Canelo was like 5' 9", but then come fight night, he is listed at 5' 7.5".

    Anyone know how tall Oscar De la Hoya really is? I think I remember seeing him listed at 5' 8". Trout looks damn near 5' 10", and if De la Hoya is 5' 8", Canelo does look to be 5' 7.5". It might be the way the picture is angled, but De la Hoya looks a little taller than Canelo.

    Yeah, he actually does look 5' 9". I know Josesito is around 5' 10". What's up with the Showtime stats then? I mean how do they get a fighter's height wrong.

    Oscar looked like he was same height as Canelo even though his claimed height is 5'10.5
    Canelo is 5'9 ish, and so is Oscar.
