    Most heavyweights seem to upgrade by an inch. Fury is a shade under 6'8", Wilder just under 6'7" AJ is like 6'5.5" maybe they just get their height measured in their trainers or something.

    It's worse in the lower divisions I've seen a guy claiming 5'6" fight a guy claiming 5'11" and they were the same height.

    He was in his prime. My dad is now 70 years old and he has lost around 2 inches of height compared to his prime.
