    Khan is 5'8" so Canelo is clearly 5'7.5" at most.

    Showtime displays the real heights of fighters.

    Canelo 5'7.5"
    Mayweather 5'8"
    Pacquiao 5'5"
    Khan 5''8"
    Mosley 5'8.5"

    It's amazing how many listed heights of very well known boxers are so clearly wrong.

    Loads of boxers heights are off - Tyson Fury is 6'7 not 6'9, David Haye is the same height as Derek Chisora, certainly not 6'3, I could go on.

    He's about 5'8.

    Most of the other heights listed for top boxers are about right.

    I've always seen Khans height at about 5'10 and having seen him in face offs, I tend to believe it
