    Amir is big boned and has a large frame. It's easy to see why he would look taller than he is

    This is the dumbest thread I've read since I've joined this forum. It isn't like when amirs height is measured they just lie about it and say he's taller than he is. Absolute ******

    Actually it's exactly that, Wahlberg is a known midget and Khan isn't even taller than him.

    Think about all the variables in a picture that you don't see. Height of shoes or whether they are even wearing them, angle the picture is taken at, slopes that could be standing on and the fact that amir is probably crouching slightly in the majority of these photos

    The Mike Tyson pic seals the deal, dude isn't 5'10.

    It is going to be interesting to see him deal with Lamont Peterson since they are the same height and Peterson has the longer reach by about 3 inches.

    Make you feel better does it, discovering Amir's possibly an inch or so shorter than his billed height?

    No, actually he's one of my favorite fighters. But this so called "height advantage" many claim he has at 140 is non-existant. He's barely taller than Judah. I'd give Khan 5'8 at most.

    Guess he's just going to have to make do with being quicker and better than everyone else at 140 then. I'm sure he'll cope.
