    Some are actually shorter than what is written in their description, for example Martin Bakole is certainly not 6 ft 6 in, I would give him a maximum of 6 ft 4 in, Joseph Parker is not more than 6 ft 2 in and neither are Dillian Whyte and Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury is not taller than 6ft 7in, give your thoughts...

    Murat Gassiev claims to be 6’4” but looks to be barely 6’1”.

    Pretty much all professional athletes lie about their height.

    The only professional athlete that I know of who is actually taller than what he is listed as is Kevin Durant. He's listed at 6'9, but he's actually 7'0.

    He's not 7. The media keep saying this nonsense. Durant is 6'9 1/2. He's shorter than Giannis, Anthony Davis. No way he's 7.

    Wlad was billed as 6'5 earlier in his career which is wrong because he's at least 6'7,
    Fury was billed at 6'7 early in his career, and there's audio of him whispering that to someone in a press conference, forgot who it was,
    and every other heavyweight

    To Wallin I think. Wlad is 6,5 I think. Slightly shorter than Fury.

    Andy Ruiz also looks shorter than 6,2 to me.

    I’ve heard from someone who’s met them in person that Fury is no more than 6’7 and Wlad is about 6’5

    NBA players can't read a ruler, so they are excused.
