    No, he's not smaller. He's clearly stockier. Slightly closer to the camera or not.

    Is he shorter than Mayweather for certain? They often looked in the same range.

    He is smaller than GG but that won't be an excuse should GG win.

    Canelo preparing for a fight at 155lbs vs Amir Khan - he's a BIG dude. Size is more than just the longer limbs lol.

    He's shorter, I will only agree to that.

    Did Blizzy see GGGs hands up close?

    Let me guess?

    He won't shut up about it?

    Really anyone who posts face off photos as a good size comparison need to understand that they are wearing these things called shoes and they can depending on the sole make someone look taller.

    Remember Wlad being taller than Fury??? Oh that right there was the thread discussing that too.

    Best to judge in the ring,,.

    I think not. A picture from the gym where they are likely both wearing boxing shoes.

    And here's a picture where we can see there feet. Golovkin sporting high heeled dress shoes that even gives him an inch or more on 5'10" Oscar.

    The difference between a good argument and bad argument. A good argument holds up under closer scrutiny and can be supported by independent data. I don't have to rely on one picture that doesn't show their feet to prove my point. I don't have to rely on biased speculation because I provided actual tale of the tape measurements from PPVs.

    Exactly. Golovkin is taller no doubt, but full body pictures show him to be wearing giant heeled dress shoes that likely exaggerate his height. Golovkin looks almost as tall as Hopkins in those things and is over an inch taller than Oscar, so I would guess those particular shoes boost him close to 6 foot. Which is about accurate for larger dress shoes, 3 added inches of height or so.

    Case in point...

    5'10.5" Golovkin and 6'1 Danny Jacobs in shoes. Near equal height, Golovkin maybe looking a smudge taller.

    Golovkin and Jacobs barefoot at the weigh in. Jacobs clearly taller by almost two inches.

    That last pic is on a mad lean look at the signage, GGG is practically the same height as Jacobs both are 6ft (GGG is more like 5ft11.5 but might as well round up), Canelo is 5ft7.5

    14" Forearms and 12.5" Biceps is probably the most bizarre measurement of all times
