    Will Canelo reveal his weight on the night?

    You're forgetting Canelo's HUGE head. It is a weird shape. Check the video out.

    His short stature is why his MW career will be hit & miss. He'll look at supposed easy targets like BJS, but will be in for a rude awakening when he regularly fights at 160.

    I think these boxers are midgets :) Floyd ain't tall and slightly taller than canelo. Liam is 5'9 solid. Canelo probably 5'7

    I've said this plenty of times before, but Canelo's height is no mystery.

    He is approximately 5'7.5" BECAUSE THIS USED TO BE HIS LISTED HEIGHT. He was 5'9", then he was 5'7.5", then back up to 5'9". I dunno why, but at some point (it was around the time of the Floyd fight) he started listing his true height, then went back to the fake one.

    Oh, and Floyd is about 5'7". Canelo is definitely taller although Floyd's eye level, chin level etc are higher creating the illusion that he is taller. Canelo has a much bigger head (it's not just the hair) and is slightly taller than Floyd.

    Floyd is a true 5ft8, Canelo is just under. Floyd was definitely taller it is no illusion, even with a hair advantage Canelo is just under Floyd.

    I would say Canelo is 5' 6 ish without shoes, he's a short guy! Floyds about the same height.

    Khans 5' 7 ish, Brook 5' 8 ish, Smith about the same as Brook or a tad taller.

    GGG is 5' 9 ish, Andre Ward 5'11 ish

    Yep shorter than you think.

    Floyd isn't 5' 8"

    He wore stupid lift shoes at the weigh in! Watch the fight, dudes short as ****, like 5' 6 ish.
