In this picture standing next to 5'11" OBJ, Ruiz looks the same height or shorter. OBJ is also wearing flip-flops while Andy is wearing thick soled baketball sneakers. Do you think he may be less than 6' ?

He also looks no taller than 5'11" Jimmy Kimmel here.

He also looks at least half a foot shorter than Joshua.

I think Tyson was measured in boxing shoes.
Wlad has always said he's an inch shorter than his listed 6'6". Ali has always said he's 6'2.5" and Tyson claims 5'10". But they could all be even shorter and claiming heights only slightly lower than their listed heights to seem truthful.
Fury was listed as 6'7" in his early 20s and seemed the same height as 6'6" Cooney when he interviewed him before the Wilder fight. Perhaps he could even be 6'6". Evander was listed as 6'1" as a cruiserweight. Foreman was listed as 6'3" in his first career.
Well it seems to me that it’s a holdover to the past. Leaving themselves room to create billed heights to make everyone seem a little more statuesque compared to the rest of us. Like the circus, pro wrestling etc. It’s just insane that weight is such a huge deal and u can’t fake it, but the rest is so vague. Imagine fighting a guy who in person doesn’t match what’s on paper? Or ends up being a southpaw? I respect anyone who gets on a scale fight night. That’s laying it on the table. Maybe it’s in ur interest to keep it a secret like Nelo does, but it’s not cool or giving the fans what they want. If u bet on a guy who is billed at 6’7 by the promoter and network and ends up 6’5 that’s fraud? Or is that just boxing...

The size of the heart homie...the dogs heart in a fight..
My Jhonny is fearless.... puro Azteca Japanese warrior..
He’s small. But his heart folds bigger dogs..
Once they (other dogs want some) see him go all in... 25 lb diff, they fold.. he’s like Johnny Tapia... he’s crazy.
I thought he was well short of one listing I saw of 6’3”. But he looked taller than I expected in ring. I assume most boxing shoes have about the same sole height. I’m surprised there isn’t actual video footage of these guys getting measured. Weight is so important. It’s also a sport that is bet on so ud think there’d be official stats. I’ve heard commentators say Tyson is 5’9”. I heard merchant say he saw Tyson measure at 5’11.5” with his own eyes. I’m sure mike has since shrunk. But has anyone asked him? Asked Ruiz? Hollywood actors like mark wahlberg pretend to be 5’10” to sell a fake fight, so do fighters do the same to sell to fans?

no, guys would never lie about their height :haha:
Right. So in all seriousness u understand how crazy it is that we are we even debating the Heavyweight Champions height?! They fight for millions, millions are bet, we analyze and debate for months. How is there no legit visual official height measurement on camera? What about reach? Do we question that? Was it done by a commission each fight? Do they just get to list their own height on a form? Btw I never lie about my height cause I was laser measured at just over 5’10” which looks good cause I can dunk a basketball. Course I could be lying about that I guess. Plus it’s nice to be the tallest 5’10” guy in the world apparently.

Marky Mark is a full of crap dude is like 5 foot 7, no way he is 5 foot 10 that dude has short stubby arms too, you seen him with the Rock who is 6 foot 2 barefoot? if Mark were 5 foot 10 he would not look that short next to a 6 foot 2 guy
Mike Tyson said he is 5 foot 10, early in his career he was billed as 6 foot and then 5 foot 11, but he was a short Heavyweight with T rex arms.
American former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Mike Tyson. In 2005 he said "I measured myself as 5ft 10in....I'm a f****** dwarf!" and again in 2013, "I'm only a small guy, I'm five foot ten"
Here he is with 5 foot 8 owner of celeb heights who is a LEGIT 5 foot 8, so Tyson is a a legit 5 foot 10 you can see it in the pic, it makes Tyson even more impressive for being so small he was fighting giant dudes, I bet Tyson could easily been a cruiserweight in his prime he was weighing 214 to 225 pounds, most Cruiserweights cut from that weight down to 200 pounds
