    A lot of Cruiserweights will destroy anything they hit clean. They're over 200 pounds in the ring they will hurt what they hit.

    OP has an agenda about people like Sam Langford and Dempsey being able to beat Lennox Lewis, Klitschko's etc with size and weight not being important at all.

    So EXPOSING Usyk for being 6'2.5 instead of 6'3 brings them half and inch closer to confirming their agenda lol.

    Go watch their fight, and tells me how Bellew is slightly taller. He is prolly wearing some big shoes in there.
    They are either same size or Usyk is actually slightly taller.

    Whatever stated height he is, the fact is he is the Big Dog of the division, he is at the top of the mountain, looking down on all other heavyweights

    They can say any height they want about Usyk,but at the end of the day he’s Undisputed with every belt,Ring title and Lineal title holder,he might even be only the second Southpaw Lineal holder in History as well iirc,other being Moorer .

    Heights I hope we can agree are very difficult to pin point. A poor posture usually resulting from leaning forward will take around an inch off your height and the reverse is true leaning back will demonstrate an individual's true height. Bellew is the epitome of a legit 6 foot 3 guy imo nothing less nothing more. Haye is a tad under 6 foot 2 imo and Usyk is a tad over so rounded up they're both around 6 foot 2 guys. Usyk and Haye have never looked like legit 6 foot 3 guys to me and that's just my opinion, but Losh if it helps you sleep at night yes I'll concede your boy Usyk is 6 foot 3 with a big pair of sneakers on. :p

    Usyk seems about 189-190
    Height also vary a bit between morning and evening
    We can say he is Foreman sized. However we cannot say he hit like Foreman
    Remember Wilder is pretty light too

    I'm around 182-183 and in Wroclaw Usyk didn't seem giant to me. It is probably around 189-190.

    I don't really see the point in this thread. So what if he is 6'2.276 and not 6.298? It's not like he is running around, claiming that he is a "7-foot behemoth" and markets himself as 6'9 when he is clearly not. Usyk's exact height has never been a selling point or a main talking point when it comes to discussing him as a fighter. If he really is 6'2, to me that only says, "Man, so it is even more impressive that he schooled Joshua, Dubois, and Fury like that."

    George Benton said anyone over 165lbs that punches properly can knock anybody out.
