    I was actually just noticing Whyte is clearly taller than Banks who is 6ft3 and also against all his opponents there is no reason to doubt he is a legitimate 6ft4.

    So......why does he look so short next to Aj who is meant to be 6ft6?

    Is Aj so shook he borrowed Wlads stilts just to appear much bigger prefight?

    I was at a card in Wales last year.

    We were stood near the walk way for the ring entrance.

    After the fight Joshua stood right next to us on his way backstage while he talked to people.

    I'm 6 foot 1 and one of my mate's is also 6 foot. Joshua towered over both of us. He's a real giant of a man.

    I can't say for sure that he's 6' 6 or whatever, but he seemed even taller to us. By far and away the tallest bloke I've ever stood next to.

    Gigantic!

    He is tall no doubt but why does he need to wear stilts to appear taller? Is he trying to compensate for something?

    Yes, he has a small pinky and is bothered by it.

    Yes.

    I noticed the same thing too. He appeared a lot taller in comparison to Whyte than he did in their amateur fight.

    Like Wlad, I expect him to shrink again in the ring on figh night.

    It smacks of insecurity and concern. Wlad only wheeled out his high heels for his biggest threats like Pulev, Haye and of course Fury.

    AJ has put on his best heels for Whyte, so he clearly sees him as a threat.

    It only adds to Dilian's view that Joshua is a 'fake'.

    Aj forgot his heels at the weigh in, the height difference only looked about 2.5 inches this time
