Comments Thread For: Photos: Mayweather-Canelo Face To Face at Final Presser

nah.... it's the shoes they were wearing, they're probably close to the same height, canelo might be slightly taller if anything.

Agreed. Floyd wore elevator shoes for this one. He has never had his nose this high up above Canelo's.

Remember, Canelo used to be listed at 5'9. This generally happens when someone is 5'8 and a half, so they round it up and give him that boost. Canelo is 5'8 and a half.

Floyd used to be listed at 5'7 and a half in his early career and then all of a sudden grew out to 5'8. No, he is still 5'7 and a half.


Conclusion: 5'7 1/2 Floyd Vs 5'8 1/2 Canelo.

]It means quite a bit actually because Floyd fights a lot taller then he is[/B] so Canelo will get countered a lot once Floyd finds the distance..

How do you fight taller than you are?

Height doesn't always dictate reach. I'm 6'6, I have a buddy who is 3 inches shorter then me but his arms are much longer

But Floyd is taller than Canelo and his arms are longer so the point is that Floyd is a little taller than Canelo so technically Canelo is not as big as they made him out to be Ortiz was bigger than him pending his fight night weight.

Nah, Floyd's reach is 72 and Canelo's is 70 1/2 so Floyd is taller. I remember when Floyd and Canelo would pose for pics together back when Canelo was still fighting on the undercards and Floyd always seemed a bit taller..

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

They never made Alvarez out to be Tommy Hearns!! When talking about him being much bigger than Floyd they always meant weight wise as he's likely to be nearly 20lbs heavier!

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
