Comments Thread For: Pavlik Says Cotto Too Small, Golovkin-Canelo is The Fight

[PETUFF]

I agree Cotto is a small guy for 160?but 154 is okay for him i have seen smaller guys beat the hell out big guys! high don't mean nothing Pavlick

these pictures are odd man,how tall are these fighters?

I dunno. I think he looks EXACTLY 5'9". Floyd is 5'8".

What part of a fighter standing face to face with a guy widely acknowledged as 5'8" being shorter is hard to comprehend?

Most PEOPLE list their heights taller than they really are. For example, I stood right next to Carl Froch and he looked 5'11" tops..not 6'1" or whatever hes listed as being..

Look at millions of pics of Canelo vs. Floyd. Canelo always looks about an inch taller than the 5'8" Floyd.

Right. And this also would apply to GGG, no?

I'm not sure he's actually his listed height of 5'10".

Canelo and GGG both walk around at 170 or so, and both are around the same height. They should fight. Canelo has said he would fight GGG. Just let's do it already. Gawd.

Always thought GGG was shorter than that.

Dude, I'M the same height as Canelo and when I last took a physical they said I'm 5'9"... I'm not..i'm 5'7" 1/2..and on that note, think I'll not argue Canelo's height anymore..

Well I agree that is the case for some fighters. Mike Tyson was listed at like 5' 11.5'' if I recall, and I'm like nah he look like 5' 10'' imho.

But I think Canelo is about 5' 9'', maybe just a bit shy at worst.

[BrometheusBob.]

He clearly is not 5'9 man

I dunno. I think he looks EXACTLY 5'9". Floyd is 5'8".

Another angle makes that extra inch more apparent.

EDIT: Heh, this ones in street clothes to be fair. Canelo could be between 5' 8''-5' 9''.

It kinda looks like Golovkin not standing up straight, but maybe he is not as tall as his listed 5' 10.5''.
