    I have met Dillian Whyte. I'm 6"2. He's taller than me. 6"4 doesn't sound unreasonable.

    How is this even an argument? People that have met him say he's 6"4. People that haven't say he's 6"2. It's kind of mad isn't it?

    I don't think there's much mystery around Whyte's height really. He's 6'2.5"-6'3" which basically means he is exaggerating his height about the normal amount for boxing. Joshua is close to his claimed height (slightly unusual) and there is about 3-3.5 inches between them.

    Because he is clearly more than 2 inches shorter than Joshua. There are many photos of Joshua with 6'5 1/2ish Klitschko and Joshua certainly isn't over 6'6". So it's basically impossible for Whyte to be 6'4". It's no biggie, almost all boxers are overlisted.

    Do you remember a couple weeks back when everyone thought Wlad was basically the same height as Fury because he was wearing lifts? It appears to me he can't be less than 6ft3.5 when you compare him with all of his other fellow boxers excluding Aj?

    Im thinking when they enter the ring the height difference wont be so exaggerated.

    And once they're in the ring and touches gloves, the camera idiots gonna film them from a "cool angle" from below so we can't see the difference nevertheless.

    Why are they keep doing it?

    Dillain Whyte looks very stiff.. I expect him to be blown out in 2 to 3 rounds unless there is a bit of dancing about for a couple of rounds.

    You reckon AJ is "doing a Wlad" and wearing lifts? I guess that is possible...

    What part of "or so" do you not understand?

    If Whyte is 6f2 then Wlad is 6"4? The same Wlad that wasn't much shorter than the legit 6'8 Tyson Fury?

    Whyte is stocky and wide hence he looks 'short'

    Look at the face to face and then tell me Whyte is 4" shorter than Joshua.

    jdw2000 runs Celebheights.com where they argue over 2mm over someone's height all day long.

    Let's not tell him that height can actually fluctuate through the course of a day.
