Do boxers lie about their height?

you can only lie about your height to someone that has never met you .

 

And even in his later fights, they always sneaked in an additional half inch atsch

If you ask people, they think Tyson is a giant

 

im 5"10...in my license im 6"0

 

Which would make Lennox Lewis around 6'4; anyway Wlad is usually listed at 6'6, Vitali 6'7.

Edit: David Haye is listed at 6'3, this pic would suggest Lennox is really more like 6'4 1/2

Do you guys reckon reach is also lied about then too?

I have seen reach measurements differ as much as 3 inches... There is NO WAY they could be that different on different days...

 

Wich is the problem with basketball players. They're slender built compared to superhws, they get crushed in half phisically.

 

Thats why they stick to basketball and boxers stick to fightin

 

actors are mostly short, and most actresses are tall.

 

ever seen a basketball fight? it is hilarious. they slap like girls, or throw punches from five feet away. they don't box, because they can't fight.

 

I know amateurs were sometimes told to lie about their height. It was part of the mindgames. Not sure if the top pros could get away with that as they might officially have to record their weight and height. If not, then yeah, some would definitely lie about it. Once again, it'll be a mental thing.

 

Floyd is only 5'8. It will look like Mosley vs Pac.

 

Pascal was far smaller in real life, must have been 5'10ish.
