I’m surprised there isn’t actual video footage of these guys getting measured. Weight is so important. It’s also a sport that is bet on so ud think there’d be official stats. I’ve heard commentators say Tyson is 5’9”. I heard merchant say he saw Tyson measure at 5’11.5” with his own eyes. I’m sure mike has since shrunk. But has anyone asked him? Asked Ruiz? Hollywood actors like mark wahlberg pretend to be 5’10” to sell a fake fight, so do fighters do the same to sell to fans?
    I think Tyson was measured in boxing shoes.

    Wlad has always said he's an inch shorter than his listed 6'6". Ali has always said he's 6'2.5" and Tyson claims 5'10". But they could all be even shorter and claiming heights only slightly lower than their listed heights to seem truthful.

    Fury was listed as 6'7" in his early 20s and seemed the same height as 6'6" Cooney when he interviewed him before the Wilder fight. Perhaps he could even be 6'6". Evander was listed as 6'1" as a cruiserweight. Foreman was listed as 6'3" in his first career.

      Like me, add 20 years,,, he’ll be shorter and more rotund.

          The size of the heart homie...the dogs heart in a fight..

          My Jhonny is fearless.... puro Azteca Japanese warrior..
          He’s small. But his heart folds bigger dogs..

          Once they (other dogs want some) see him go all in... 25 lb diff, they fold.. he’s like Johnny Tapia... he’s crazy.

            Well it seems to me that it’s a holdover to the past. Leaving themselves room to create billed heights to make everyone seem a little more statuesque compared to the rest of us. Like the circus, pro wrestling etc. It’s just insane that weight is such a huge deal and u can’t fake it, but the rest is so vague. Imagine fighting a guy who in person doesn’t match what’s on paper? Or ends up being a southpaw? I respect anyone who gets on a scale fight night. That’s laying it on the table. Maybe it’s in ur interest to keep it a secret like Nelo does, but it’s not cool or giving the fans what they want. If u bet on a guy who is billed at 6’7 by the promoter and network and ends up 6’5 that’s fraud? Or is that just boxing...
