    He about 5' 8''. Mosley is 5' 9'' is a little (just a tiny little bit taller) and doesn't stand upright. Golovkin isn't really 5' 10'' he was just as tall as Proksa who is listed as 5'9''

    Showtime and HBO had different listings for his height. It seems that they are never accurate.

    Almost everyone is overbilled. Oscar is like 5'8 1/2 barefoot, he was once listed as 5'11. Floyd is 5'7, RJJ is 5'10 1/2, mike tyson is 5'10, mosley is like 5'8, malignaggi 5'8, pac 5'5 1/2, broner 5'6 1/2, gamboa and rigo 5'4

    Basically they are all midgets to me

    lol how tall are you?

    And btw does anyone else find Canelo's chin a little suspect?
    Not in the strength department but that **** looks like someone on PEDS imo, although some people do have jaws like that naturally.

    Canelo looked to be equal to Mosley. They are probably the same height.

    Yeah, that seems to be the pattern. In some cases it's even worse. I remember Gavin Rees was supposed to be listed at 5' 7", but Adrien Broner towered over him during the weigh-in. I remember one of the writers from this website was talking about it.

    Canelo for the longest, though was listed at 5' 9" until the Showtime fight. I mean that is 1.5" they took off his height.

    It's not that confusing. Canelo and Mosley are both 5'7 1/2" give or take a few mm. The height difference between them in those photos ain't no 1/2 inch, it's millimetres.

    Trout is 5'9 1/2", has a rare honest listing.

    Mayweather is 5'7" or a shade less and Cotto is between 5'6" and 5'7". Mayweather was maybe a shade taller than Cotto and Mosley a shade taller than Mayweather.

    While Mosley is clearly taller than Cotto the difference in that photo really isn't that much. Eye level to top of head is about 4.5". The top of Cotto's head comes past Mosley's hairline at the fringe. Barely an inch.

    ODLH is max 5'9".
