    HW boxers seem to exaggerate their height nowadays, in the era of expanding size. How much do you think its done? I'm listing the official heights below, along with any opinion of what the genuine height is, fill in your opinions on their height:

    Wlad: Official 6'6, real 6'5.5. He's fairly close to his official height. He says he's 6'5, but there's a lot of credibly documented 6'5 people he's taller than.

    Povetkin: Official 6'2. real ?. Looked about 6'2 if Wlad is between 6'5 or 6'6

    Wilder: Official 6'7 real ?

    Fury: Official 6'9 real 6'8-9 He looked about 3 inches taller than Wlad in most of the joint pics

    Pulev: Official 6'4.5, real ? looked about right if Wlad is between 6'5 and 6'6

    Jennings: Official 6'3 real 6'2. Think he was credited at 6'2 earlier in his career and that looks more accurate

    Stiverne: Official 6'2, real ?

    Glaskov: Official 6'3, real 6'2 didn't look 6'3 in what I've seen him in

    Chagaev: Official 5'11, real ?

    Thompson: Official 6'5, real?

    Takam: Official 6'2.5 real?

    Not a HW but Marco Antonio Rubio is listed as 5'10 but he appears closer to 6'0 or 6'1
    Same with GGG listed at 5'10 but looks 5'11 or 6'0

    I think Wlad is 6'5". Wilder looks to be a 2 inches taller than him.

    Fury is taller than Wilder by about an inch when they met in the ring before David Haye pulled out of the Fury fight for the first time.

    He also looked identical height to David Price when they fought and at a recent photo together at the airport.

    I think Fury is 6'8 rather than 6'9.

    Klitschko has to be 6'6+ he looked about 3 or 4 inches taller than Pulev at the weigh in and Pulev is a a legit 6'4.

    Confusing!

    I don't believe Canelo or Floyd or anything over 5'7. Over six foot it's harder to judge I think.

    I wonder what is the real height of Valuev. He is listed between 7' - 7'4".
    Joshua is the same height as Wlad.

    People are really bad at guessing heights, so dont even try.
