Muhammad Ali is officially listed as being 6'3ins tall. Yet on Youtube Ali is measured next to Wilt Chamberlain the basket ball player. Ali is measured with a tape measure by Angelo Dundee and is 6'4 and a half inches tall.. George Foreman is officially listed as being 6'3ins tall. At ring center getting referee Zak Clayton's instructions in their epic fight. "The Rumble in the Jungle" it is clear that Muhammad Ali is over an inch or more taller than Foreman..

The Website Boxrec is the biggest culprit for false information!

WHAT! No no no no no!

Muhammed Ali was 6ft 2.5 (189).
Foreman was 6ft 3 (191).

The human loses half an inch within the first 3/4 hours of being standing. Gravity compresses our spine. Ali would of been 6ft 3 first thing in the morning but shorter by fight time. Same for foreman and any boxer!

Joe Louis was 6ft 1.5 (187).

No whats funny is how you start the backtrack shuffle when this poster asked you a question. Apparently your also an internet tough guy until someone calls you on it....what a suprise. And as pointed out its not your thread....Now you have posters calling you out, what next? But its a mere handful, just three stooges a puppy dog...dude the de-nile must be more than a river in Egypt to ya. Anyone with any sense would have shut their piehole ages ago, even as an alt.

I wasnt refering to this thread you imbecile .... your "FRIEND" continues to post on my threads ,it doesnt matter what he does hes one kid with limited abilities challenging someone as usual where he knows no one is located ....only fools like him and old Corso do the internet challenges it figures you think it actually means ahything ,theres an old saying hang out with gargage you start to smell like garbage....

And this whole board is reeking now thanks to you


seriously lets all put this clown on ignore and just block him out of discussions. If all section regulars do it we can freeze the idiot out with ease.

I see it over and over again--fighters' heights listed differently. Height does not go up and down like weight. One measurement per career ought to do it. But what if the first one is sloppy? How many writers will use that false data to perpetuate fallacy without even realizing it.

I would like to know whether Marciano was 5'9", 5'10" or 5'11". I would like to know whether Robinson was 5'10" or 5'11'. I would like to know where between 6' and 6'2" Joe Louis fell.

Someone supposedly reputable like Wiki-pejia publishes a figure and other sites jump on the bandwagon. Where did they get their figures? It was not from a tape measure.

If fans, experts and record keepers cannot agree on the height of a fighter, just forget the rest of it about who beats who, etc. Why should we take anyone seriously unless they are standing there with a tape measure? We know they simply looked on Wiki-pejia.

I want the skeletons of Louis, Marciano and Robinson exhumed for measurements.

robinson was listed anywhere from 5'11 to 6'1. I've never seen 5'10

Tyson 5'9 to 5'11 1/2

Foreman 6'3 to 6'3 1/2 to 6'4

Ali 6'2 - 6'3

Duran 5'7 to 5'7 1/2

Leonard 5'9 -5'11

Also take into account height, some may have longer necks, so they don't really seem that tall measuring from the shoulders. Foreman always seemed big because he was 6'3 1/2 I believe, but most of it was body, a short neck.

I think a lot of stats get inflated these days for intimidation purposes. Especially re-hydration weights. My coach was a decent pro in the 90's and 00's he said they would lie to intimidate the opponent. In general cutting 20 lbs in one day is never going to make your stronger.

Marquez is listed at 5'7 but I swear he's only 5'5

Duran was listed as 5'7 as well but seemed almost eye to eye with 5'9 1/2 hagler.

If Floyd is 5'8 then Maidana must be barely 5'7.

Your threads are so ******ed you should be lucky anyone posts in them. After I read one of your obsenities that goes for a post I look in the mirror and notice my head gets smaller on top, my eyes more close together, drool starts coming out of my mouth, and I can't think straight....yur a menace juggy and the fact that you have threads is scary indeed.

Prior to needing scans and health certificates some state commisions also measured height when weighing in along with eye exams and reflex exams.
Some newspapers printed the weights and heights as added information for the boxing fans. I'm pretty sure the New York commision measured height when a fighter made his initial appearance under their rules. In the early years of commisions the New York State was the best in the country.
This was long before Las Vegas boxing became a mecca for big shows.
....heres my opinion on a few more mentoned;
Marciano 5'11"
Robinson 5' 11"
Louis 6' 2"
Duran 5' 7"
Leonard 5' 10"
Ali 6' 3 1/2"
Foreman 6' 4"
Pep 5' 5 1/2"
