    How tall is Andy Ruiz ?

    I was looking at the stare down between Joshua and Takam and Takam who is listed at 6'1" looks taller than El Gordo Ruiz when he had his stare down with Joshua.

    Is Ruiz' height the biggest joke in boxing besides his waistline?

        Wouldn't be subtract an inch? I never met anybody that under states their height before, most people round up, some do it quite a bit.

          I think he's legit WIDER than he is tall. It would be nice to see him come back and take this seriously, the guy clearly has talent.

          Ain't that the truth? Fury for instance is NOT 6'9. he even used to be listed as 6'8 something and a few other boxers have mentioned it to him upon seeing him from memory.

          Joe Rogan is a classic example

            Most fighters fudge their height. Ive met a few who were listed at 6'2 and I could see over there head. At the time I was 6'2 1/2 or 6'3. Im sure Ive shrunk over the last 20-25 years.

              He's like 5'10-5'11, 6 feet with shoes on probably.

                This sounds about right maybe 6' on the nose as his girth makes him look shorter.

                I saw him with PEDnelo and he didn't look significantly taller than him and PEDnelo is listed at 5'9". A true 6'2" guy standing by a 5' 9" guy would look close to a head taller.

                  He's abit taller than 5ft9 Mike Tyson.

                  Canelo is around 5ft7 and Ruiz has around 3 to 4" of height over him.

                  With thick sole shoes I can see how he claims 6ft2 or close to it.

                  Most Americans think 1" is 2.5cm but in fact it's 2.54cm.

                  So anyone claiming they are 6ft tall because they are 180cm tall have a valid claim but in the UK that would be 5ft11 whereas 6ft is around 182.5cm tall.

                    5'5"

                    I saw him in Wendys and they had to direct him to the kids tables because the adult seats weren't tall enough. He waddled over to the kids section and almost broke the chair as he sat down whilst all the patrons gave him a glaring stare. He went all red murmuring something like "I'm the champ" to himself, pretty sure I saw a tear came out of the corner of one of his eye as he looked into oblivion eating his cheeseburger.
