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!!!

Disagree Hatton came to win and so did Oscar.. Those two probably gave Floyd his toughest fights in semi recent history outside of a faded Cotto.

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.

I know what fighting tall is dumb@ss... But there's fighting tall, i.e. the Klitschko's, European style, and "fighting taller than you are" which you stated, which is technically impossible!!

Btw Mayweather doesn't fight that tall, he constantly changes his rhythm and movement, he uses his long arms to throw the hook around the guard that's why he could nail Ortiz Cotto and Guerrero, as for you saying that the reason they couldn't nail him in range was because he fights tall!? Are you kidding me? If it was that simple guys would have bum rushed him!

But reach in boxing is everything. I'd say it even adds on to your height

Sig material right here.

Here is Canelo next to the clearly (your words) taller than Floyd, Shane Mosley. Both in sneakers and look about even:



Mosley is a solid 5'9 and at one point even dared to list himself as 5'10 on ESPN.


Anyway, Showtime unlike HBO, has a habit of revealing their real height. They knocked Jermain Taylor down from 6'1 to 5'11 when he fought Froch. As I already mentioned,they revised Allan Green's 6'3 to 6'1. HBO doesn't do this and just goes by the already recorded statistics.

Expect Shotime to deliver again and reveal their true heights without any rounding up.

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.

Yup and I'm interested to see If Showtime will adjust Canelo's height. Before the Cotto weigh in he was listed 5'8 and on fight night Showtime Tale of the tape had Cotto 5'7 Broner was also listed 5'7 or 5'8 in the past an Showtime had him 5'6 his last fight..

Ok but If he's using his long arms and fighting on his toes it's called fighting tall.. he doesn't do it every fight cuz he's usually taller then his opponents but I assume he will be on his toes vs Canelo. I just think he happens to be a tad bit taller then Canelo regardless..

He already said you can fight taller than you are too.

[MRCHOKEaMF]

Damn, you know its close to fight night when people are arguing about shoes.... I guess everyone has ran out of material

[cupocity303]

Haha! They look really midgetized here. Pacquiao-esque.




In all honesty, it's Canelo's top of the head that puts him over the top.

They are not even lol your best go watch that weigh in video Shane was clearly taller then Canelo and while your at it see the Floyd vs Shane face off it's not like he exacly towered over Floyd either..
