    I wish boxing and other sports would stop exaggerating athlete's heights for marketing purposes. Anyone who has met Pac in person knows he is not 5'6 1/2. More like 5'4. I'm 5'11 and the top of Pac's head only came up to my mouth. I doubt Margarito is 5'11 either. Probably 5'9 1/2.

    Wow, we already new Margarito was 5" taller than Pac so of course his reach is longer, other than that everything else is pretty much even, heavyweights face many more size disadvantages than this, for example Eddie Chambers v. Wladimir Klitschko and any welterweight vs Paul Williams, the size difference in this fight is nothing.

    You're right. Sugar Ray Leonard says himself that he's 5'9 even though he gets listed between 5'9.5 and 5'11.

    Margarito's biceps are only an inch bigger than Pacquiao's? Chest only 2"? He's thicker AND wider (no homo). Margarito's calves are bigger??

    I think 5'6'' is an accurate height for Pac. That's short, and I think five inches from the tip of your head to your mouth is reasonable. mayweather is definitely 5'8'', the mirror image of my height when I met him. I looked him straight in the eye. I think he's about two inches taller than Pac, as Morales appeared to be as well. Small small guys in person. Winky Wright looked surprisingly small in person, though, no where near as tall as I thought he would be. And skinny skinny calfless legs. I would say he was only 5'9'' from our meeting.

    I still think Pac outboxes him or stops him late.

    **** - these guys only have 13/14 inch biceps. That don't sound right, mine are over 15 and I'm pretty slim.

    These numbers are rarely accurate other than weight. So pointless to compare them.
