The Paquiao/De La Hoya Height myth/fact.

....lol....I understand why he does it but do you?

I absolutely do, I just see a lot of Pacman fan boys (and some others) saying that the height difference is going to guarantee Oscar the victory.

WTF Williams is not 6'4 jesus h. Klitschko is 6'6-6'7 for petes sake you telling me Williams is 2 inches shorter? Give me a break he's a welterweight

I'ts amazing, the myths that go through here, I'm telling you.... Williams seems so tall because when your 6'1"and change and weigh 147lbs, your bony frame seems so much longer. He is indeed tall for a welterweight but he defenetly is no taller than 6'2".

The only guarantee I could give, is that you can never guarantee anything in boxing. All it takes is that one lucky punch and everything can change.

Pac is listed as 5'6 1/2 but he is actually 5'5.

This is a mismatch because Oscar has both size and skills.. And yeah... power too!

when I See Them Next To Each Other, They Don't Look Obscenely Different Height Wise. How Tall Is Paul Williams At Welterweight? Margarito Is Taller Than Dlh As Well, Isnt He? Pavlik's Huge For His Division As Well.

I Digress, What Are The Official Heights Of Oscar And Manny? And Lets See Some Height Comparisons.

Its Not Just The Height!!its The Size Differance..its Not Even An Arguement The Man Is Moving Up Really 3 Divisions Cause He Only Had 1 Damn Fight At Lightweight..stop Taking Up For Oscar He's A ***** And A Fraud..mayweather,forbes Now Pacman..hes A Joke

Pacman will be the "little train that could." Just a thought.

rofl way to ignore the visual evidence. let me post it for you again. no taller than 6'2? rofl

Quintana is listed at 5'9 1/2"



Margarito is listed at 5'11"



I'd say Williams is at least 6'2", maybe 6'3".


.

so where is the "myth" in these pics?
