    Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury?

    Wladimir is often billed as 6"5 and Fury is often billed as 6"10. Looked a lot more like 6"7 and 6"8 to me. Definitely did not look like more than an inch to me.

    Fury seems to have the longer arms but he rarely gets full extension on his shots. Also I don't think that S&C coach telling Fury to drink a few pints of larger a day is right. There are other ways to get iron in the body.

    I was thinking and maybe hoping Fury could cause a few problems but I'm starting to doubt that more and more.

    This is the video where Fury claims to be drinking a few pints of larger every day. I just can't see that helping.

    It was purely promotional. It was a German beer and he had around 2 sips. These shenanigans help sell the fight, and he's done this before with beer 'retiring' on twitter and posting a pint of stella. Never read too much into Fury. I agree on the height looking pretty close too.

    I've been stood next to him, he's got to be 6'8 - 6'9. He's a big big bloke.

    If there's two and a half inches in it we could use your ***** as the measuring stick. That's just under three inches Killer Kovalev told me.

    I thought there was quite a sizeable difference. Fury made a good point as well at the press conference: Wladimir is a big heavy weight but only because he carries a very muscular frame. Tyson is naturally a much, much bigger man just by his frame alone. People don't realise the true difference in size here.

    Would be a decent point if Fury had built a career on dominating tall HW's, rather than all of the CW's he's faced thus far.

    If Wlads head was shaved like Furys, the difference would be about 4 inches...which is about right?
