    For the same reason they changed his non-existing amateur boxing record 2 years ago. 2 years ago I wikipedia'd Pacquao's amateur boxing record, and it was reported through wiki that he did not have one, if you wiki it now, it reads something like 50+ wins and 3-4 losses. I think it's just another way to try to add to his legend.

    yeah i'm not buying that he's a micrometer over 5'6'' and is probably a shade under. floyd is a legit shade near 5'8'' and pretty much was looking Cotto in the eye or even a hair taller, Manny was kind of dwarfed by Cotto.

    Floyd is like 5' 7.9", the shortest you can call yourself a legit 5'8'', and small framed, no freaking way Manny is 5'7''.

    The source for that part is from Top Rank's website, not reliable so I've removed it.

    Pac's listed height is 5'6.

    Manny is 5-7, F. Been around him since he first came to the states, 'n we're exactly the same height.

    you haven't shrunk? My dad was 5'7'' and is now about 5'6'' at 71. Just throwing that out there. Floyd is 5'8'' for sure, I've looked him in the eye several times, but he looks more than an inch taller than manny.
