    Obviously I have no proof to support my theory but the chances that two brothers / cousins measure around 2 meters / 6.5 feet must be extremely low.

    Especially since apart from John Fury, the Fury and the Klitschko do not seem particularly tall.

    Cousins and brothers intended for high level sport from adolescence, do you think it possible that they took growth hormones to cheat with nature?

    Weird thread tbh.
    I know messi the footballer took them because he had growth and bone issues as a child.

    Also talent is genetically linked

    look at all the successful football (soccer) brothers, boxing sons and dads and brothers

    genes are everything

    Unless they took it as children, it wouldn’t have made them any taller.

    My Brother is 6'5 and I am 6'1

    I guess he was being fed HGH as a kid to be so tall now

    I don't think you understand how growth hormone works and its purpose bud. it's not about 'growing' lol. you should research HGH first before you post. lol

    Ask Tyson Fury what happened way back,
    He'll tell you about his time on the rack,
    Though the pain he went through is like to appall yer,
    There's no doubt it worked in making him taller,

    Yep.. you should see the NBA... there are so many of these growth hormone abusers running around... throwing balls into hoops... its disgusting... they need to play fair

    Whole NBA needs to go under review... I cant believe no one calls them out... hundreds of overly tall men Actively playing sports in one place and no one finds this suspicious???

    Actually this is not correct, although it sounds like common sense. None-Twin siblings share 50% of DNA yet their outcomes in life (money earned, education, personality etc.) are about as varied as any two complete strangers on the street. For every one set of Klitschko brothers you have 100 siblings who have widely disparate outcomes in life.

    I'm not sure about the Klitschkos or if they have any other siblings or cousins for comparison but I suspect growing in a Soviet state, it was quite hard to get food let alone growth hormones....

    As for the Fury family; both Peter and John are around 6ft2 to 6ft3 tall and are big men. Tyson's brother Shane Fury looks around 6ft5 or so tall and his younger brother Hughie Fury is around 6ft tall too.

    Their first cousin, also called Hughie Fury, son of Peter Fury, is also a genuine 6ft6 tall, though he isn't as big boned as John Fury's sons.

    They are are naturally big men.

    No conspiracy. Just genetics.
