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..

You just dont care what you say...do you? :WORD:

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..

You're right, we shall see. There is no way that your "Canelo is 5'7, Floyd is 5'7 and a half" passes the smell test.



Floyd's chin to nose ratio makes him look taller in some pictures (with some artificial help from elevator shoes. Remember Floyd is the one concerned with his looks, having gotten a 'Vampire facial' to retain some of his youth. Canelo is probably at a stage in life where he could care less, he is still growing.)

I don't care what you say..

Some people suit facial hair and some just look like members of the village people. Which group does Floyd belong in?

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..

Here is the full-body picture with their sneakers showing:



Clearly, Mosley is slouching a bit while Canelo is straight. If Mosley stood straight he would confirm my theory of Mosley being 5'9 next to Canelo 5'8 and a half. Remember, it's the top of Canelo's head that puts him over the top, not his body. It's not even the hair.

Canelo and Mayweather are 5'8. Mosley is 5'8.5

Whats funny about it is Guerrero towered over Floyd a bit and so did Ortiz. With all this talk about Canelo being so much bigger this and that is what's not passing the smell test. This picture is of a healthy Canelo maybe they are both 5'7 1/2 I don't know but Canelo is not taller even in this pic Floyd is still a bit taller to me if you shave Canelo's head bald...

lol Canelo ain't 5'8 1/2 man no way no how Guerrero and Ortiz were both clearly taller than Floyd and they are 5'8 and 5'9 (if that) but Canelo not so much...

I will compromise and agree to Canelo at 5'8 flat, with Floyd just a tad bit under it, toiling at a steady 5'7 and a half. But that's as far as I will go

I will not agree to them being even because I have su****ions about Floyd's insecurities. I suspect that he suffers from the Tom Cruise complex and shops around for elevated sneakers, since he is sort of a Bigger-than-life figure in Boxing and everyone is checking him out. Canelo just doesn't seem that way.

Until they're both barefooted, I will not be convinced.

Maybe idk man i think we are both just so hype for this fight but If you look closely at the face off today Floyd is clearly looking down into Canelo's eyes and Canelo's eyes are looking up like Floyd is a bit taller not by much but noticeable these height stats they have are all wrong and all over the place. In every sport! Hell Nate Robinson is listed at 5'9 by the NBA and If you believe that I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you..

You maybe right about the elevated kicks to much more people do that then you would think I think Floyd fights in elevated shoes as well..
