Do boxers lie about their height?

[Boxingking1511]

In order to look more dangerous, and get betters on their side? How prevalent is this? Do you guys know any boxers who lie about their height?

Lots of fighters do, when have you ever seen a man round down his p_nis size for instance? Even Tyson Fury rounds up his height, he used to be listed as 6'8 and three quarters and even then that might be on the generous side.

Quick edit: Did you know by the end of the day, you can be like 1 inch shorter in height from when you got up in the morning? Something to do with the weight on your joints/knees for example being compacted.

5"7 castano was listed as 6"1 until recently

Yeah. I'm fairly sure Fury isn't 6'9

[Citizen Koba]

Yes. Many of em add an inch or two. Don't recall any going the other way.

Most probably, measurements of athletes are generally incorrect. I’m sure Kevin Durant still listed at 6 ft 9 when he’s clearly now grown to 7 ft tall.

David Haye would make himself appear smaller 'During press conferences, and weigh in's'.

I.E he would wear certain type of trainers 'That would appear to be normal trainers, but they were not'.

Lomachenko is not 5"7 more like 5'4 Hatton was not 5'6 Floyd looked 4 or 5 inches taller more like 5'3 5'4. Iron Mike is 5'10 but they always put 5'11

Boxers lie about everything, They lie about their height, their weight, the amount of roadwork they do and they especially lie to their wives and girlfriends about where they are and what they're doing.

Luis Ortiz is not 6'4"
