Are numbers for reach/height fudged?

Maybe Sergio has really long hands lol.

 

Yeah, definitely. I've seen Miguel Cotto's height listed at 5' 8", but he looks more like 5' 6". Pacquiao has also been listed at 5' 7" or so but he looks 5' 6" at the most too, same with Marquez who looks the exact same height as Pacquiao--he can't be 5' 7". Canelo, for the longest, was listed at 5' 9" but now he's listed at a more likely 5' 7.5". The heights are all ****ed-up.

Mikey Garcia was listed at 5' 7" too but now he's listed at 5' 6" or so, but he actually does look 5' 7". Orlando Salido was always listed at 5' 7" but lately they've been listing him as 5' 5.5" or maybe 5' 6"; he honestly didn't look much taller than 5' 5" Juanma.

 

I know that for world title fights in Japan the fighters have a medical and those details (height, reach, etc) tend to be publically released.

 

I know as far as Heavyweights go, they just flat out lie about their weight and size. They will say they are bigger then they are to make them seem more intimidating.

I personally think Mayweather says he is smaller then he is, I think he is bigger then listed.

 

GGG a year or so ago was listed on boxrec as 5'9 1/2 or 176cm, now he is listed at around 5'11. He wasn't that much taller than 5'7 1/2 canelo.

Floyd is also not 5'8 he's like 5'7, pac is like 5'5. Angulo was listed as 5'11 he's 5'9, chico corralles was always listed as 6'0 but he was 5'10. Cotto is about 5'6. margarito is probably 5'10 not 5'11. Kessler is 5'11 not 6'1, bhop is a solid 6'0 and so is ward. ODLH is 5'9 so is SRL.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head

 

Knuckle to knuckle is basically fist to fist isn't it?

I always thought wingspan=reach and arm length = armpit to end of the fist. Am i wrong ?:huh

 

George Foreman would never give out his reach.......................

 

Holyfield's height was listed as 6' 2" however in person he seemed to be more like 6' 3". Maybe he was really 6' 2+3/4".

 

Lol the heights and reaches listed might be little wrong sometimes but the heights in this post above (and others) are all guesses and are probably wrong, I would guess most, if not all of these guys have actually been measured.

 

GGG is about 5'10-5'11 imo.
Watch this vid, it has Lara, Rigo, Gamboa, Korobov, etc

go to 1:08:00. It lists Gennady at 5'11. Lara at 5'7 shock, Rigo at 5'3.5, Gamboa at 5'4.5) so it seems pretty accurate to me.

I just posted a vid of Ali getting measure at 78 inch reach, how can you justify adding another 5 inches.

And heavyweights usually exaggerate their height but Wlad admited he is 6'5 at night and 6'6 in the morning.

 

Wow I thought lara was a solid 5'9 not 5'7

 

Canelo was also listed as 5'9, then showtime downgraded him to 5'7.5

We will see how big he looks next to Canelo during the weigh in but i really think he's about 5'7 too.

 

He looks shorter than 5'9 1/2 angulo so i think he really is 5'7. Crazy he fought Pwill who is way over 6ft

 

You haven't seen the Tweet with girls saying something like "a guy told me he was 5 foot...", then they have a picture of Jay Z making a nasty face. It's mainly girls who say stupid sh!t like they don't like short guys. That's why Hollywood does it.
