Most Fighters Look Like Midgets In Person

Agreed. Except Hearns and Tarver, they're all much smaller than expected.

 

Ok I'll use your examples.

Jones Jr- 5'11"
Froch- 6'1"
Garcia- 5'9"
Floyd- 5'8"
Thurman- 5'7"
Bradley- 5'6"
Canelo- 5'9"

Froch is legitimately tall. Jones Jr. is a solid height. Garcia and Canelo are borderline short. Mayweather is short, but not that short. Thurman and Bradley are short.

 

The ones I meet is slim I saw Shakur Stevenson I think last week and he was real slim abd tiny. When I saw Andre Ward had a few inches on me but he was very slim I'm meeting Wilder on the 11th going to be interesting how he looks up close and personal

FYI I'm 5'11 btw

 

Welll played Mopa.

 

I meet naz and lewis at the benn McClellan fight .what a contrast Lewis was a giant with a huge head ??? that's what struck me.Naz was very short .but powerful looking in a stocky way.

 

Actors are a lot smaller than you think...IMDB adds two inches at least to star stats.

Guys Like Al Pacino, Tom Cruise, Johnny Freaking Depp are actual midgets.
Jack Nicholson is listed as 5'8 1/2" on IMDB....total lie.

 

Are you sure about that? There's a picture with him and Beterbiev, you'll see the difference.

Let's talk the case of Artur Beterbiev - I have similar size to the guy - thinner and much longer arms + bigger legs, he's 5'11.5 and 188lbs (I weigh 8-10lbs less). I don't look as big as he does on screen.

Here's Artur Beterbiev on screen:

My two cents in the conversation about two months ago I got in the steam room (LA Fitness) I came across El Maja Socarras trying to lose weight for a fight next day this guy was so skinny just bones he was never able to drop couple pounds the bout was cancelled the same with the Basketball players so skinny in person.

 

how tall is he 5'9?

 

most boxers below middleweight are below average height.

Stevenson is 5'11 and is called a midget for 175lbs

 

:good

 

My dad met Ray Leonard at a restaurant in Colorado Springs and said Ray was so tiny that he could probably take him.
Yeah right dad!

 

TLDR. Just kidding. The thread is about boxers looking much smaller than you'd think and I mentioned Milk Dud because he is every bit as big as you'd think or bigger. Hearns is a mountain of a man. I'm 5'10" for reference.

 

I met George Foreman back in 97` i believe, might of been 98` and he was HUGE! Gave big George a hug and took a pic with him and it felt like hugging a bear made out of bricks. Just a massive powerful individual whom i could not imagine taking a punch from. btw im 6` 190ish.
