    Thanks for the input REED.

    About marge, it's sometimes hard to tell with pics, unless it's very clear, with both guys standing up straight etc. Sometimes people are leaning, or one is further to the front or back etc.

    The main reason I thought he had to be less than 5'11 is because he was absolutely DWARFED by Williams.

    Williams was listed as 6'1 to marge's 5'11 - a 2 inch difference. That was like a 5 inch height difference at least, which made me think he was about 5'9, and williams 6'2.

    So you really reckon floyd is a legit 5'8? Do you have the pic to post? I have not seen it.

    I am surprised you say Judah and El Terrible are the same height. Judah looks like 5'6, and Erik really looks 5'8/5'9 to me.

    Marga looks like a legit 5'11 to me. Its Williams who's height is incorrect! He's GOTTA be 6'3!

    Maybe you're right x, he's one tall mofo.

    REED - thanks man :bears:

    In that photo it could be 3 inches, however - Floyd appears to be leaning in a bit, so your 2 inches is probably correct. I guess floyd is a legit 5'8, which I thought he was, he doesn't look that short.

    :lol:

    Oscar looks a couple of inches taller. Remember, he has the hair too, and floyd not.

    I say oscar is 5'10 then.

    I don't see how his arms are shorter than mine though, by 2 inches :dunno: :lol:

    I ain't met many fighters. I've met Lennox and Chuvalo in the vip lounge of a canadian boxing event. Lennox was about 6-7" taller than me. I'd say the top of my head was a bit higher than his chin.

    Oh, you meant boxers' heights when they're standing up? I was standing and he was sitting when we shook hands. I never saw him standing up, he was only sitting.

    Either that, or Vitali's developed a recent cyst in his pituitary gland. :dunno: ain't Jameel supposed to be 6"6 ?. What's Vitali 6"9 - 6"10?..

    i have a pic with McCline and i'm 6'2 i think he's 6'5 and Vitali is 6'8 about 3 inches between each...

    Reed looks more like an inch taller then Floyd same goes for DLH LEGIT! :lol:

    And mexican wedding shirt can't tell how much an inch is to save his live - i loved how he talked about that with Hexys signature picture Calderon, Tito and Cotto with there 12 inch heads... :laughing:

    I always agreed with this, too X. Merchant even commented in an early Tyson fight (pre title) that Mike was nowhere near 5'11, but closer to 5'9 1/2, which is incidently what he was measured at by the New York commision as an amature. But then during Tua-Ruiz, Merchant contradicted that by saying that when they had him in the studio and stood him up to measure they were surprised that he actually was 5'11. So who knows? One things for - he looks way taller than Tua's 5'9 in the ring. Maybe squat guys just look shorter than they are.

    One height that's deffinitly bogus is Mosley's 5'9 IMO.

    Royness you're fucking nuts. I agree Vitali looks at least 3 inches taller than McCline there, no argument from me.

    But REED only 1 inch taller than Floyd? :notallthere:

    Look at that pic again, look how much further up REED's eyes are than Floyd's. The only reason I think there's only a 2 inch height difference is because Floyd's forehead is bigger, so it evens things up a bit.

    And tito really does look about 5 inches taller than Cotto in that pic, bear in mind he is leaning in, if he stood up straight it's a good 5 inches.

    Royness - seeing weigh in pics of them, and them actually fighting in the ring, do you dispute that there's a 2 inch height difference between floyd and oscar? Because that's what it is, yet if anything REED looks bigger than oscar does next to floyd, between a 2 and 3 inch height difference. You seem to think an inch is much bigger than it really is, like 4 or 5 cm:notallthere:

    Look at this pic, you'll see tito is leaning in a bit, not standing up straight, and the top of his head is cut off. And a pic of cigarettes is almost 4 inches high, you're saying Tito is not 5 inches taller than cotto? :lol: Is this also a 1 or 2 inch height advantage?

    How much taller did you think Williams was than Margarito? Did it look like the 2 inch height advantage they said it was? :lol:

    Eaner - did you not think there was more than a 3 inch height difference? It sure looked that way to me. If Marge really is 5'11, Williams has got to be 6'3.

    at the kick off presser me and Tony's co-manager Sergio Diaz were commenting on how much taller Willliams looked in the pictures of the presser but in reality Williams was about 3 inches taller which holds.

    at the final presser and weigh in the height difference still held true

    oh and Chico is a legit 5'11 1/2 maybe even 6ft

    I was at the pre fight press conference for Margarito/Williams. From my view, Margarito is 5'10, and Paul Williams is 6'2 1/2. The difference in height between the two is 4 1/2"
    4 1/2" is a significant difference.

    Yep...

    REED's Eye's R MORE than an Inch HIGHER than Floyd's...& Like U Said,Floyd has a HUGE Head...REED's Head ISN'T Small by Any Means,but Floyd's Shit was ALARMING (on a Side Note,Evander Holyfield Has THE Biggest Head REED has EVER Seen N Person:lol: )!!!...

    More than that, Look @ the TOP of Our Heads...REED has a Baseball Cap on,but it's a THIN Cap...The TOP of REED's Head MIGHT B 1/8th of an Inch LOWER than the Material on the Ball Cap...Perhaps even LESS...

    Standing Side by Side,REED could See OVER the Top of Floyd's Head...
