    Maybe but he had a nasty attitude towards women before that anyway.

    Isn't Nistor 5.10? Maybe I got that wrong though.

    A flabby past it 5'7 Qawi made it 7 rounds with a 6'3 Foreman who in this fight weighed his lightest in his comeback trail. 8 inch height advantage. Anything's possible. Wondering had Qawi been in somewhat of decent shape could he have gone the distance with such a height and reach disadvantage. Or does such a disparity in size also force the taller guy to swing down, way down!

    Andy Ruiz Jr is no taller than 180cm and for my money, he is probably somewhere closer to 178cm. The 188cm claim is laughable.

    Foreman still looks too heavy and slow there, he just couldn`t fight at that pace effectively during his comeback at all.

    He tucks his chin in meaning his head is pointed down and his back hunched taking about 2 inches off his height.

    Ruiz is around 185 -186cm, but he slouches a lot. I’m 184 cm and he was slightly taller than me, but he definitely isn’t 6’2”. I used to see Ruiz and his father almost daily because the head trainer at my old gym Salvador Villa was his trainer for a short while, but the relationship didn’t workout.

    184cm barefoot is believable. Its just slightly ovet 6ft tall.

    6ft2 in shoes is believeable.

    Joshua is 6ft6 barefoot I have no problem believing that.
