    There are actually 6'7.5 and 6'8 listings in a few places but boxing listings are known to be fudged anyway.

    He is never that much taller than Wladimir anyway with the hundreds of pictures of them together so I trust 6'7 a lot more than 6'8.

    No it’s actually not. Kind of a foolish way of putting it too. Lol Because lewis didn’t once have “Vits” out on his feet the way Vitali had him… did he? Had lewis tried he would’ve walked into a counter right hand or gone through the embarrassment of Vitali just eating those shots or rolling with them like he was so good at doing ;)

    Vits had Lewis out on his feet? You will have to tell me the round so I can go back and see it for myself. I just hope you're not talking about the second round. If so it means you dont know the difference between "wobbled" and "out on your feet". But if you truly believe Lewis was out on his feet than why couldn't the all powerful Vits finish him? There was more than a minute and a half left in the round.

    Lol, its kind of a foolish way of putting it? Im not the one who made the comparison of Vits against a journeyman and said "imagine if that Vitaly landed on Lewis " or something to that effect. Was Vits a better fighter at that point in his career? If not than its a ridiculous thing to say. Vits fought better against Lewis than any other time in his career and still couldn't win. But the 22 fight Vits would have turned the trick? Yeah right. You guys make me laugh. Imagine if the Vits hit him......Imagine if he didn't get cut.......Imagine if Lewis came in even heavier.....WE WOULD HAVE WON!!!.........Imagine. that's all Vitaly fans have is their imagination. The rest of the world has reality and facts. And the fact is even at an all time high in weight and out of shape Lewis landed the more damaging punches which is why he won the fight

    Vitali never had Lewis,"out on his feet."

    No matter how hard they use their imagination this is an inescapable fact.

    Wlad once said on Conan that he was 6'5. He's not 6'5. He's at least 6'6 1/2. They use the metric system so maybe they don't know what it is in inches. I have no idea what my height is in meters.

    You just lied about Corrie Sanders not being Ring ranked. Your opinion doesn't mean much.

    This is the same situation as if Usyk doesn't fight Kabayel. Everyone would be saying he is a coward. Usyk said he had 3 fights left. He fought 1 of them. Now he has 2 left. Lennox said he had multiple fights left and then retires after narrowly winning his last fight by a lucky cut.

    :lol: Yeah, because everyone remembers that September '94 issue of Ring Magazine – and, mostly because of Sanders achieving that momentary placement of #10 in the charts.

    I'd wager more people remember him being sparked out by the great Nate Tubbs, earlier that same year!!!

    Lol, did I? Show me where Sanders was Ring ranked before his fight with Wlad, because that is what I said. Obviously reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

    I'll help you out.

    Was Sanders actually rated? And how would that work? He lost to Tubbs in May of '94.
