    Williams the more consistent, and durable for me. You'll never see him LTKO1 by the likes of Michael Bentt. Most importantly, he also has a huge endurance advantage.

    It’s a pick em fight. Two hard punchers with average chins and mediocre defense.

    He wasn't 6'3. Why do people inflate boxer's height so much ?

    He may well have been 6'2". Looking it up now, he is listed as both, but more often the former.
    However as a boxer he likely was originally listed as what I had seen, 6'3".
    Do you not know that in life & sports, people exaggerate heights because it seems more impressive & status is associated with it?
    And in a physical sport some may see being taller as more imposing?
    And shoes add 1-1 1/2", so some use this height or something close to it?

    You should say if you think I was inflating anything.
    But if you did, that is not a reasonable suspicion.
    You should figure I likely saw him listed as that height, not assume I was overstating anything-& a search would show you he is listed as both.

    Anyway you & I do not even know for a fact what height he was.
    It is just much more likely that if their are a couple of heights, someone or their representative likely exaggerated, & the lower height is correct or closer to The Truth.

    Williams was taller than 6'2". He seemed to match Ali at 6'3". I believe he may've been even taller pre-shooting.

    Both are overrated and not all that good.

    I’ve seen Big Cat listed from 6’2” all the way up to 6’ 3 1/2” (by way of half inch increments).

    It seems Ali is now more widely accepted as 6’2 1/2” prime - as he was orig. listed for the first Liston fight - and as shown on documents such as passport, etc. Though on occasion, he sometimes reverted back but to 6’3”. I would also say Cleve was about the same height but Ali might’ve been slightly taller - hard to say for sure.
