Quick question: Is Keith Thurman taller than Tim Tzsyu?

[Bullrider]

I kept hearing this a lot for years. Don't worry, I'm one of those who got tricked into such optical perception, but I brushed it off quickly after some quick search and looking at pictures.

It maybe because Thurman has some body type that looks like he's optically big. So what makes people think Thurman is big for a welterweight?

Keith has fought above 147 plenty in his career - he started at 150. He's taller than Tszyu.

If he's taller than Tzsyu, then he's the same size as Errol Spence Jr.

Is he as big as Spence?

I've seen that and it didn't make sense. I see that you're still maintaining this belief. Fair stance.

Go and look at Errol when he fought Algieri; I don't think Errol is as big as the hype makes out. Actually, Crawford looked so much bigger and stronger, and he came from 135; I think Errol's size is way overstated.

No, I didn't mean to inject Errol into this. I was making comparisons and Spence just popped out of my mind, then looked at Wiki and he's the same size as Tzsyu.

And since you added Algieri into this, look at his picture vs a famous welterweight who made waves in history.

Yeah I get it, its just Errol has this hype around him that he is huge I feel that's not true, pics where they are on the same focal plane tell a different story.

A little triangulation

They not on the same focal plane which makes manny appear smaller than he really is.
