    People are really, really bad at guessing heights.
    I am relatively short and people often overestimate my height. Or they think I am a midget.
    Wladimir Klitschko has a funny story in regards to height. If I remember it right, he was in an airport and had a conversation with one of the boarding staff. When Wlad said that he was a heavyweight champ/boxer, the lady laughed and said that he was too small to be one :lol:

    I automatically drop an inch from official measurements and assume that's their height. In this case, I'd assume Ruiz to be around 184 6ft/1.

    Pretty much everybody, especially athletes and other celebrities lie about their height. Every one of them. When they tell you their height, subtract by at least 1-2 inches.

    Everyone knows the default height for short looking or squat heavyweights is 5’10. Everyone from Rocky Marciano, Floyd Patterson, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, Bert Cooper and David Tua has been described as being that height at some point in their career. Now it’s Ruiz’s turn.

    Wtf do you eat? :lol:

    But yea, I am quite lean. And I run a lot. But still, I would have a hard time making Lightweight.
    I would easily get to 160 if I actually lifted some weights.

    And it's scary how well some people carry weight.

    id run but still had trouble making 205,i come from short stock but my bloodline is stumpy. I was 160 15 years ago and fast. Even when i was 95 kgs and over 40 years old i could probably run 100m in under 13 sec.

    :lol: For some reason people seem to think that guys like that don't exist. Pacquiao being 5´5 and 150lbs seems unnatural to them. Canelo being a middleweight boggles quite a few minds.
    Then you have mother****ers like this: 230lbs at 5ft11

    He's one of the few boxers who gains weight in camp. He's naturally quite slim.

    No his height is real. My friend who’s over 6 feet said he was taller at a Ruiz appearance, unless he wears lifts or something.
