Would a 5’11 boxer be considered short for the cruiserweight division ?

I noticed the cruiserweight division has many boxers between the 6’1-6’3 range

He wouldn't be short like Dwight Muhammed Qawi (5'5")or even Bobby Czyz (5'9"), I'm thinking he'd be only slightly below average. Also, with many boxers you can subtract an inch or two from their boxrec height, some of those 6'1" guys might well be slightly South of 6'

Yes. If you look at the champions, they're all 6'1+ (Goulamirian, Jack, Opetaia, CBS, as is Briedis). Two of the bigger name non-champion cruisers (Okolie and Riakporhe) would absolutely dwarf someone 5'11, they must be about 6'5.
