    And you don't think sourced matertial is written by people with opinions and biases. When Kathy Duva says that Adamek is taller and has a longer reach is that the truth or just her opinion?

    Source:

    Even sourced material can be full of opinions. Boxing is full of opinions. My god, Larry Merchant's career has been built on opinions, not facts. If we just stuck to the facts in boxing, there would be very little to say indeed.

    I believe you. But I wonder to know whats your opinion about Holyfield's height. Its because I read somewhere (dont remeber where, one of polish sites) Adamek saying that he met Holyfield, when the Pole was fighting at LHW and was surprised that Holyfield was shorter than him. He thought then, why not to try to become a HW champion...

    From the pics on fight news....Arreola looks to be a tiny tiny bit taller than Adamek. Id say Arreola is probly 6'2-6'2.5

    J. Banks, listed at 6'3, was clearly taller than Adamek.
