    You are just straight up trolling and attention seeking with those figures...

    Those height's are simply ridiculous, and about 2 inches below on several.

    Wlad is at least 6'5 (wears elevators at times)
    Parker 6'4
    Fury 6'8
    Joshua 6'6
    Haye is at least 6'2

    and I've actually met Whyte, and he's 6'3

    Prime Jeffries beats him, and a sober, prime John L. stands a good chance too.

    I have seen a lot of guys in the range from 6'3 to 6'5 and they all have similar proportions.

    I am 6'2 myself and looking at Wilder, he doesn't look like a 6'5 guy at all, he never looked in that range, he
    always looks like a very tall and therefore rangy guy to me in the range from 6'6 to 6'8.

    Yeah you are right, I mean every guy is built differently, from wide shoulders to long heads to large limbs etc so they all give different illusions from a distance, you gotta size them up at the head level in various photos and video footage to build up an idea.

    And knowing the height of known boxing interviewers helps like the Kugan from IFL tv youtube, and the guy from secondsout, it gives you a good gauge, and those guys are 6'4 and 6'3 themselves.

    Fury has a large frame, long limbs, but he's not 6'9. There actually a british boxing commentator who towers him in the post fight interviews not sure if you've seen him. That guy is like 6'10 at least.

    That's true, every guy is built different but you can approximately estimate in which range of height they are to
    classify and Wilder is a genuine strong 6'6 to 6'7 guy and Fury is a little under 6'8 imo.

    In 1926 they measured the boxers barefoot. Today's boxers are measured in shoes and sometimes are given outright inflated heights. I used Pulev and Joshua's heights from the Olympics and Ortiz's height from the World championships.

    I've met both Wilder and Wlad in person and neither were 6'6". Ron Artest who is legitimately 6'6" was taller than both. Wlad in his Olympic days was never listed over 195cm. Fury also was shorter than Carmelo Anthony, who is barely 6'7".

    David Haye and Bellew were both listed at 6'3", but Bellew was easily several inches taller.

    I could start posting picks backing up all the numbers, but I have a feeling some people are stuck at believing inflated heights like Fury's laughable 6'9" listed height.

    If they dug Jack Johnson up, threw his bones in a ring I'm pretty sure Wilder fans would be telling me he is "back to his best"..

    A few would be telling me "this is for real lineal championship"..

    And few others would tell me "AJ ducked Jack Johnson bones".

    Jack Johnson no. I’d put money on Dempsey cracking him out though.

    Jack Johnson struggles with semi decent tall men, just look at Willard-Jack bout. Wilder KO's Jack in the 5th round.
