    Barrera is not as tall as whats written on Box Rec etc. He's 6'0-6'1. Same size as Ward.

    He has decent arm length. His shoulders could be wider for a LHW. Kovalev has a massive shoulder wingspan with freakish long arms. I give a man his size props for making 175. :yep

    Boxrec claims he is 6`2 or 188cm and hes bit taller than Golovkin and actually seems same height if not lower compared to Ward.

    Hes 6`0 tops.

    I don't believe so his reach is 72 inches if I remember correctly.

  7. Don't buy into Wards BS that he dared to be great by moving up. His body matured and is now fighting guys his size.

    Why do so many boxers lie about their height? Looks like a kind of inferiority complex thing to me. It's not really helping when your opponent finds out you're not that big at all at the faceoff. That's a psychological disadvantage.
