    When they faced off, Spence was noticeably taller than Brook. So is Brook really 5'8, or is Spence really 5'10? They are both listed at 5'9.

    don't think it was by that much, maybe 1/2 an inch to an inch taller

    Spence is a big guy for his weight. He definitely has the right frame to go up through the weights as he gets older

    Remember Klitschko looking about the same height as Fury at all the press do dahs and then the difference when they were actually in the ring?

    So yes shoes.

    Where do you see Spence at 5'9"? I see him listed at 5'10" or 5'9.5"

    How Spence was dressed, I'm sure his shoes had heels.

    Brooks' core was far more expansive. He's bigger.
    Spence is lean

    Spence is about 5'9.5
    Brook is 5'8.5 - 5'9

    They're near enough the same size.

    why are people even bothered? 1 inch in height is going to play no factor at all. Even then khan was slightly shorter than algieri, brook and khan are the same height and algieri and spence are the same height so spence was shown to be taller? It doesn't mean anything in terms of size, brook is the bigger guy in terms of weight, he's also the older guy which will make it harder to make the weight, each year that passes it becomes tougher to shift weight.

    All that stuff spence was saying was stupid "your facing a guy your size now".. he just faced golovkin a man bigger than both of them.. before that he faced porter bizier, jo jo dan and gavin.. no matter what you think of the level of these opponents I don't think any of them have ever competed lower than welterweight. It is spence who has fought a few light welterweights...

    Why is everyone saying Brook is the bigger guy?? Spence looks like he was the one who just fought at 160
