    I have been in the vicinity of Dillian Whyte several times and I am 6'2''. He, by his own admission, has said several times that he is 6'3''. He may be slightly under, I'd say, but he is certainly not taller than that.

    Carl Froch is barely 6'.

    Look at a strong man usually look fat now look at a body builder usually look huge and cut but not even close to being as strong

    You could be right. Ruiz has some advantages on the tale of the tape. For example he must have at least 15" advantage in waist. I just hope his trunks hold up.

    Fat yes

    Slow never

    Why are people still fooled by the fat

    Hes fast as usual

    Now hes got more weight behind his shots and Joshuas body is lighter so so Ruiz lands, its gonna shake him to his boots

    David Price has these stylistic advantages over his opponents too. Too bad it goes out of the window if you have a glass jaw

    Lol. Everyone here is making the same mistake as they did in the first fight. Judging Ruiz by his Physique

    Yes, while being wide makes you look shorter, he & Joshua stood tall in the weigh in next to each other, & other times, on the same suface.
    Unless AJ has higher shoes (unlikely) he looks a full 6" taller than Ruiz. Considering if both have their heads held level.
    He was 283.7 at the weigh in.
    But with what he had on-which may or may not have had other, hidden things/belt/things in pocket etc....
    And with his reference to the psychology involved + eating meals that day...
    I think he is playing games to make himself appear even fatter than he is.

    I also think he should have come in lighter.
    But that he will prove to be in surprisingly good shape-well cardio condition, lol!
    I believe he trained hard, thinks being heavy is good for him, & may rationalize it because he loves to eat.
