There’s actually a site where dudes obsess about celebrity heights. I have to believe they have a better idea than most of us what Canelo’s real height is. They have him at 5’7 1/2”.
In the neighborhood of 5' 7" is about right.
I've seen him in person when he was doing the press tour for the Mayweather fight.
Times Square NYC
I was pretty close to him, I would say he was around 5'7 at the time. He could be 5'8 now.
yeah, Stallone did very well for himself, didnt let himself get corn'dholed out of his own movie and made a career out of nothing for himself. Hes not a "small" dude but the roles he played had em pinned up against some giants so guess he felt he had to live up to that part.
But since Brian Kenny on air during the Canelo fight made it a point to keep pointing out that Canelo is not 5'9" like he claims that he hes 5'8" I went looking it up and went downt he rabbit hole of boxers height. I actually think eveyrone in boxing is lying about there height and canelo is 5'7, mawyeather 5'6.8, khan is 5'7.8", etc etc the rabbit hole keeps on going
Yeah, it’s been a thing for a long time. Nothing new, especially with the shorter guys. But even regular guys fudge their height a little. I’m like MAYBE 5’6 3/4”, but always say 5’7”. You sound like a tool if you get into the fractions. Haha Plus, it’s much simpler to round off (especially if it’s up Lol).
I absolutely think that he is approx 5'7", with GGG coming in at around 5'9" for comparison. The issue of height in boxing is distorted largely because not unlike Hollywood, damn near everyone seems to misrepresent their true height. I think the overwhelming majority of fighters are a couple inches shorter than their stats on boxrec, et al, to the point where it's almost literally take what's on paper and subtract 2.
Haha! Yeah, I read the posts on Stallone on that site some time ago. I recall all sorts of comments made about him wearing lifts. Amazing how much taller he looks in the first picture. No shame in his game. Lol Sly built his career on action movies, so I guess he always felt the need to “play it up.” But whatever physical size he may be, one thing is certain: Stallone is a very impressive individual. No doubt about that.

canelo's head looks fucking weird, especially in the floyd pic
That’s just the image and the proximity of canelo toward the camera.
Take a look at the fight for better comparisons. Especially after the fight when they are in the ring.
Could be but I think both of these arent even cose to 5;8" imo
No I dont think so, look at mayweather feet his heels are closer togeter giving him every ounch of height he can mustler and he also he standing straight as possible wiht his head held high. Canelo foot placement is wider than a mayweather and he has a s louching posture with his head just looking forward not trying to hold his head hight.

celebrityheights, lol I went there after I created this thread. Saw his youtube you should watch the video on slyvestor stallone if you want a quick chuckle.
I think floyd is a solid 5'7" and Canelo is a solid 5' 7.5" imo.

Lol Yeah, I’ve visited their site many times over the years. Never ceases to amaze me how obsessed some of those guys are with people’s heights. As for Stallone, he filmed a scene from Nighthawks in my old school church (Incarnation, in upper-Manhattan). It was then that I learned he wasn’t a tall man. I saw him once very briefly several years later, at a downtown Manhattan nightclub. He was quickly mobbed, so I couldn’t gauge exactly how tall he was; but 5’8” would be about right.

Floyd is taller than canelo

Alvarez must be hella buff if he 5 ft 7 and walking around at 180
Dude keeps growing, but he's growing horizontally instead of vertically.
In about ten years we're gonna see an old chubby Canelo looking like Dwight Muhammad Qawi as he squares off against past-prime heavyweights.
