Don't be silly, reach isn't a clear indicator of height! My brothers got 75in reach, doesn't mean he's 6'3 cos he's only 5'9.. He's just got ridiculously long arms! I got the same reach as Canelo and I'm a short 5'8

Floyds 5'8, Canelos close to 5'9.. The publicity shot with them a few months back with both wearing boxing shoes and shorts showed that

So whats your point? You can see in the pictures that Floyd is clearly taller and If you look up their measurements Floyd reach is 72 and Canelo's is 70 1/2 so in conclusion Floyd is taller and Canelo is thicker. That is a FACT

Jose Luis Castillo is 5' 7" and he gave Mayeather hell!

Mayweather 5'8"
Canelo 5'9"

Lol, exactly! The guys being spouting bull**** for a while now

You don't know ish about boxing.. Posture is how you fight taller dumazz.. Up on them toes! Floyd fought tall against Guerrero and Ortiz that why they couldn't hit shyt even when in range.

It's not fact your basing it on reach and a photo where you can't see what shoes either fighter is wearing

You are dead on about Floyd he is 5'7 1/2 I've always said he wasn't exactly 5'8 but he does have an unusual long reach for his height. Floyd has the reach of someone who's 5'9-5'11..

But you are wrong about Canelo he is also 5'7 1/2 maybe even just 5'7 flat..definitely NOT 5'9..Floyd is clearly taller

I like the Cinnamon Man's Demeanor, Recent Foes have come for the Bread,
and the L. This Cat's coming for the W, and the Pretty One's AZZ!!!

Jose Luis Castillo's reach 69".

Jose Luis Castillo is a flat footed fighter, so all those that say Mayweather will have an easy time with Canelo, there goes your theory.

Nah, I disagree. You do not get away with giving yourself two inches in height statistics. You may get away with one inch, but not two, especially if you're not in the 6foot threshold. Allen Green tried to list himself as 6'3 and Shotime revised it back down to 6'1. Those are the exceptions.

"Canelo gonna be looking like skeletor at the weigh-in".....lol

But reach in boxing is everything. I'd say it even adds on to your height because it's not like your fighting with your head or legs your fighting with your hands and arms. So basing it off that Floyd is taller plus he will be fighting on his toes and Canelo will be flat footed so Floyd will seem even taller to Canelo at least
