    Ikeke was 6'4" and Simon was 6'1". Elcock was 5'9 1/2" and Mahir Oral 6'1".

    JT is 5'11", maybe 6'0". He is a much better fighter then the others mentioned, but size won't be the decisive factor in this one.

    Look at JT/AA facing off, and look at JT/KP facing off. It's pretty easy to see that Jermain is over 6'. Margartito is 5' 11". McKart is 6'. Jeramain is most certainly taller than those guys

    But, why the hell is it so hard to get consistent, accurate, measurements on so many fighters? How ****ing hard is it to use a tape measure:patsch

    He's shorter,slower and not exactly a better boxer.He's a stroinger puncher but has he really faced someone on Jermaine's level.This tournament will be great.

    ****ing hell, were those people in the first froch video clueless. especially that utter plank with that ******ed ass hat on, who you would have thought was at least somewhat informed about boxing, but no he is 'not a fan'.
    jesus christ people talk about norwhich being bad for inbreeding, but nottingham takes the cake.
    i mean what a bellend 'come on carl frock' at least learn to say the name properly.

    the numbers vary depending on the site but taylor is defintely 6'1 because he is the same height as hopkins if taylor is 5'll than abraham is 5'7' lol because there's like a 4 inch height advantage

    abraham is defintley not 5'10 as listed in box rec that's defintely off. They have paul williams listed as 6'1 and we know that's not true after looking at the pavlik and wiilliams conference. They lied about tysons height also he was really 5'9 and not 5'11 after seing him in person.

    it's not the height but the reach and the fact that these bigger guys are not draining themselves to make the weight . Height only means something if you know how to use it as the klitschko's have showed that over and over again. Jermain has a very fast jab and ab is really wide. I see ab winning but only if taylor get's tired and stops maintaining distance. this is not a 5'10 miranda who is best opponent up to date. The rest of the bums you mentioned ain't in the conversation because they have no talent.

    They were/are no bums, but definitely not in Taylor's league. With the examples I just wanted to clarifiy that AA is used to fight taller opponents with a big reach advantage - but, again, they all are not in the same league with JT.

    I don't know if its fat...he's just not that cut. Plus, that little extra there may be fuel to burn late in the fight.

    If it goes late.:yep

    Taylor by TKO.

    Maybe Taylor thinks if he have more fat on his body, he will have more energy at the end of the fight...
