    He's 5'7 1/2. He's short as hell. Strong, stocky guy. Smith was absolutely humongous in comparison.

    He's 5ft7 barefoot

    5ft9 with shoes

    He was no taller than Floyd or Cotto who aren't exactly huge men either.

    Officially 5'8''/1m73 but it is probably added two centimeters like 95% of boxers, so rather 5'6''/1m71.

    He is 5'2" I reckon

    Which makes his victories that much more impressive
