    Takam is wearing "riser" shoes in that photo

    Yes - Parker is that tall in reality. Takam is not.

    I don't see it personally, the african genetics have usually slightly bigger wingspan to height ratio.

    The boxrec details total wingspan, so a true test would be nose to closed fist measurement while looking down the arm.

    I'm 1.91cm with a wingspan of 1.91cm. Perfect ratio according da Vinci. :yep

    I guess judging heights isn't your strong point, then :)

    At least, given you said 6.3 MAX and in reality he is 6ft4 at least but definitely under 6ft5

    Faceoffs don't usually account for shoe type and # of "'s in lifts. Hell, fmj could pass for 5'9/10" if going off faceoffs when he's barely 5'7"

    Lol, 100% I do. I'm one of the few on this board that actually knows how to box, and living in Vegas makes it easy to train along big names.

    Must be photoshopped, he is apparently 6ft3 max so Wladimir should dwarf him ;)
