Rob, what would be your guess on Caleb Plant? Click Here
A lot people to compare with in those pics, my guess is that he’s really close to his listed 6’1, worst case 6’0.5 ( he got pretty thick shoes on )
Editor Rob
Compared to the other guys, including Tyson, 184 seems very likely, maybe a bit over it in fact.

Add Ryan Garcia please. The fight poster for the davis height has him as 5'8.5
Click Here
Editor Rob
Yeah that's pretty much what a few of us thought more realistic than his own claim.
AaronZamora said on 25/Mar/23
How tall do you think Caleb plant and David Benavidez are? They are fighting tomorrow it’s going to be a huge fight. I think they both deserve a boxing page so does Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis their heights are both exaggerated. As for Canelo 5’7 Max I met his brothers in Mexico I have video’s of me and Canelo I am 182 cm barefoot.
Nathan Hatton said on 9/Mar/23
Any estimate on Devin Haney ?

How is Canelo listed taller than Mayweather if he is shorter in the weigh in
Duhon said on 8/May/22
@Rob can you see this link? its from his fight with Mayweather he was listed at 5'7 1/2" Click Here
Editor Rob
Yes, that is what we give him here and is likely closer to the truth....there is still an argument Canelo might be nearer 5ft 7 than 8, though think I'd have to look a lot more to see if I agreed with it.
Duhon said on 6/May/22
@Rob were they just listing Canelo at his barefoot height here? Click Here
Editor Rob
the file vanished
FloJ said on 1/May/22
Rob what is your guess on Bivol? 182 cm?
He looks tall but did not tower over Canelo the way I expected him to.
Editor Rob
That sounds a good estimate
Maroon said on 29/Mar/22
Click Here Big Rob, how big is Haney next to Canelo? Looks like Ryan's range...
Editor Rob
Could be an inch or so taller
Dray said on 28/Mar/22
Rob, Do you think Canelo is 5-7 on the nose when he wakes up and 5-6.75 when the day is done? He only gets to 5-7 1/2 in his shoes.
Robbie Murphy Lee said on 18/Mar/22
@SnakePlissken Do you have the vid where Ryan Garcia said he was 6’0? He’s no taller than 5’8 1/2
Huitlacoche said on 5/Jan/22
Hi Rob. What do you think a about Max Verstappen height in this foto with Canelo barefoot?
Click Here
supposedly max measures 1.81.
Editor Rob
In that photo i wouldn't have guessed him as 181, but a bit shorter. 180cm is most I might guess
Marion Kongu said on 4/Jan/22
Happy new year Rob! How much would you guess Canelo's lasts elite opponents's size left to fights? (Artur Beterbiev and Bivol both listed at 6ft meanwhile Benãvidez 1,84 Click Here 1:10 but next to Caleb Plant looks like similar to Ronaldo Cristiano or even bigger like Kakà and De Ligt)
Editor Rob
He could look 1.5 inches or so taller than Caleb there, but I'm not so sure on his height!
Paddy McPhie said on 23/Dec/21
In the Canelo v Planf Showtime pre fight tape it showed Canelo as 5’7 1/2. I believe these are actual measurements as they do them the day before the fight. Looks like this guess is on the money!
Juan Arreola said on 20/Dec/21
@Rob, UFC fighter Brandon Moreno is listed at 5’7”, but looks far from that mark with Canelo. There’s no way there’s a half inch between these two.

Click Here

Here’s another photo of him with another 5’7” listed UFC fighter Aljamain Sterling, and he certainly is nowhere close to 5’7”. Not even 5’6”!

Click Here

I’d give him 5’4”- 5’5” range max if that’s how he holds up with legit 5’7” guys.
Editor Rob
Hard to imagine him over 5ft 5 there.
Duhon said on 8/Dec/21
With Odell Beckham Jr Click Here Garcia seems to be "officially" listed at 5'10". I guess someone 5'8.5" being given an extra 1.5" in height is pretty standard in the sports/celeb world.
SnakePlissken said on 7/Dec/21
Hey Rob. Can we get a page for Ryan Garcia? I think he's definitely deserving of one!

This is him with Canelo

Click Here

Click Here

Click Here

My guess for Canelo is spot on here, 5'7 and a half, and I guess Ryan Garcia to be about 5'8. But he claims 5'11, even had the audacity to claim 6 foot in a YouTube video lol, I think he's definitely deserving of a spot on this website.

He looks tiny next to Jake Paul too, and Jake doesn't make much people look short
Click Here

Ryan looks a little the same as Nate Robinson did, and he's on here at 5ft 7 ¾

I would spot Ryan Garcia at 5ft 8.
Editor Rob
Can look 5ft 8.5 range in the group shot
Floch said on 1/Dec/21
Rob,what do you think lots of people making fun of his height and him moving in cruserweight? He's the Messi of boxing i think if he wasn't that tall then he wouldn't be so explosive in the ring he's a gifted talent which show that no matter what height you are you can go far. (I'm 6'1 but i wouldn't disrespect people for this.)
Editor Rob
There is always a fine line between humour, or intended light humour and insults.
Johno said on 23/Nov/21
5'7. Quite extraordinary that he is going to be fighting at Cruiserweight at his height.
Duhon said on 18/Nov/21
How tall does Makabu look here next to Canelo? He's listed at 6'. Click Here
Editor Rob
Never looked past 5ft 11 in the clip
Callum Luke said on 7/Nov/21
The highest I would go for Canelo would be 5'7.5'', so I would pit Caleb Plant's height as around 6' based on face offs. There are times where he can struggle to look 5'11 but he does lose a lot of posture looking down to a shorter guy so I'd give him the full 6 foot, not quite the 6'1'' he's billed at.
jacks said on 6/Nov/21
now he is listed at 5ft7.5
Christopher K said on 20/Oct/21
Rob, How tall do you think Caleb Plant looks next to Canelo?
Editor Rob
Around 6ft
Alan Mendoza said on 31/Aug/21
Que no se supone que Canelo mide 5'9''?. Pues en la presentación de las peleas al compararse con sus contrincantes dice 5'9

The listing is right on. 171.5cm
KiwiNZ said on 5/Jun/21
He gives off a 5'6.75 - 5'7 feel. 169-170cm max
Axel Lextor said on 29/May/21
Hey big rob how tall Ryan Garcia he is listen in 178 but look 175
Editor Rob
5ft 9 is possible, moreso than his own lofty 5ft 11 claim.
ChaosControl 6'2.5/189.2cm said on 9/May/21
One of the Tale of the Tape things for Canelo vs Saunders had Canelo as 5’9 and Saunders as 6’0
ChaosControl 6'2.5/189.2cm said on 8/May/21
@Cj 5’9? I found a 6’0 listing for him somewhere
Preeme said on 8/May/21
Rob, what’s your guess on Billy Joe Saunders? Surely less than listed 5’11
Editor Rob

Yeah can’t see him over 5ft 10
Cj said on 7/May/21
Judging by the face off with Saunders I'd say Saunders is in the 5'9 range he's listed at 5'11
nz said on 6/May/21
How tall is bjs? He looks about 2-3 inches taller than canelo in the face off so 5'9-5'10?
Joe99 said on 6/May/21
How tall would you say billie joe saunders is rob? Looks about 5'10 standing by canelo
Editor Rob
hard to see Billie above that 5ft 10 mark
Michael Fowler said on 3/Apr/21
I looked at the video of Smith & Canelo. Smith is 6' 3" even if he is 6' 3.5" then Canelo is still 10" shorter. It makes him 5' 5.5", depending on footwear I'd say Canelo is 5ft 6" to 5ft 7".
Big T said on 28/Feb/21
If anything he looked shorter than J Balvin during his most recent ring walk and also when they met up post fight. However Balvin had clear footwear advantage, so I suspect they’re both about 5’7”

Hey Rob If Canelo is 5 foot 7 1/2 how tall is Daniel jacobs? He is 6 ft on google

@duhon

Can't really tell if we don't see the shoes
BrewBMW said on 15/Jan/21
@FiveEightJake: Completely agree. In a UFC fighter interview they said their team gives their height which is usually rounded up to the official boards who put it on their profile. But yet weight is very closely monitored? Bizarre.
BrewBMW said on 15/Jan/21
@Need Answers: Yes. Garcia is 174cm/175cm range with a slender build.
Duhon said on 6/Jan/21
Ryan Garcia in a staredown with 5'10.5"-5'11" Jake Paul, looks about about 5'9.75" perhaps, depending on how tall you really believe Jake Paul is Click Here
Need Answers said on 5/Jan/21
Does this mean Ryan Garcia is 5’8” 1/2 to 5’9” range instead of his 5’10” 1/2 claims
FiveEightJake said on 23/Dec/20
What’s the deal with professional athletes being billed as taller than they actually are, I could understand it in WWE but not other sports. Every sportsperson should be measured barefoot under a stadiometer. No excuse for adding 2 inches to someone’s height, what’s even the point.

5’7.25 for Canelo the GOAT
Duhon said on 21/Dec/20
Would like to see a picture of him facing off with Manny Pacquiao.
Maroon said on 20/Dec/20
No words he is a BEAST 🐂, CAN'T BELIEVE. ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE ATHLETE I EVER WITNESS👏 to SEE!! 🧢
Giancarlo Rivera said on 19/Dec/20
My cousin Stefan took a Pic with Canelo at an Airport, Sorry Mexican Fans, Your chihuahua is truly 5 foot six and a half, My cousin Who is Six foot made him look like a M1dget.

I think we can do without referring to people in such a way.
Goodbye.

I think around 192 193, what do you think?
Editor Rob
he says in interview he's 6ft 3
Nathan Hatton said on 16/Dec/20
Any Idea on Callum Smith he has always been listed 6'3" but he can look taller if anything he is a huge super middleweight.
Editor Rob
he did claim it
djcc8899 said on 16/Dec/20
Faceoff between canelo and callum smith Click Here

looks to be between a 10-11 inch difference between them there! Calum smith must be taller than the 6'3 he is listed at. Also in the faceoffs with 5'11.5 George groves Callum Smith was also easily 5 inches taller than him

I always thought Canelo was around 5'7- 5'7.5 but judging by this maybe he could even be close to 5'6.5 , he looked the same height as mayweather who was barely an inch taller than 5'6 Ricky Hatton

Towered by Smith. Rob, what's the lowest you would go for Canelo?
Editor Rob
struggles to look over 5ft 7
Maroon said on 18/Nov/20
Rob, you follow boxing world? Canelo is going to fight Callum Smith who is 6 ft 3 that's gonna be a big height,reach advantage and to me easy fight to Callum Smith. 20 cm difference how the hell Canelo is going to hit him 😂😱
Editor Rob
yeah that's a huge differential!
Chuy said on 10/Nov/20
Canelo Is 5’9 I’m 5’11 and he’s about 2 inches lower than me have pics pretty tall only people that haven’t met him guess he’s 5’7 they are wrong.
Nathan Hatton said on 23/Sep/20

How tall is Canelo looking with Curry, Rob?
Editor Rob
At very most 5ft 8, how much Curry is losing in posture though...over an inch, near 2?

hi rob,please list ryan garcia's height thank you
soccer said on 9/Jan/20
1,69-1,70
Neil Gadingan said on 26/Dec/19
He seems taller because of his frame but definitely doesnt tower most of his opponents but is a legendry athelete regardless of his size.
edwards said on 8/Dec/19
i have him at flat 5'7 personally.dont know but he always gave that impresion.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 27/Nov/19
@Rob
I wish there was a system where you were able to move any non-height related post over to the Sookie's Den or General Height pages, then people are able to discuss whatever they wanted to there.
Christian 6'5 3/8 said on 25/Nov/19
@Rob
I don't think you should've deleted some of the posts.
Editor Rob
Well I think it was drifting away to height to Ethnicity/looks, there is a site for that, here is a link if anybody likes Reading that topic.

You can see his head size compared to someone like Floyd is A bit longer
rename said on 25/Nov/19
Rob If you type canelo alvarez floyd mayweather faceoff instead of google search, you see the two are the same size or floyd mayweather even higher than canelo alvarez.
Editor Rob
They can look close enough to argue the same listing, though Floyd has a smaller head/eyelevel.
FiveEightJake said on 23/Nov/19
Rob are you familiar with Callum Smith & his height? Listed as 6’3, he can definitely look near that range next to Eddie Hearn. There’s a chance of him fighting Canelo which is quite remarkable considering the height difference.
Editor Rob
Yeah he did claim to be 6ft 3 on twitter once, which isn't that unreasonable a claim.
John126e said on 22/Nov/19
how tall do the garcia brothers look like next to jake paul here (assuming he's 5'10.75) ?

Click Here
Editor Rob
Could be at least 4 inches smaller as Jake might have a wider stance and losing more height.
ajax509 said on 20/Nov/19
Yes, he was world champion in three classes, but it's likely that guys like Wilder or Joshua would beat him 1st round. Also, I don't think he would take the risk.

Actually bizarre that fun division is money divison 🤑
BoxinfFan said on 20/Nov/19
Rob, do you think the boxer Ryan Garcia who is maybe the best young boxer at the moment is 5ft10 as he is listed everywhere
i think he is 5ft9 or maybe less
what do you think rob ?
Editor Rob
Not quite seen enough of him yet to be sure.
Josh Jeffords said on 19/Nov/19
Just saw his LhW debut was impressive in its way he really is something.
Personally he looks 5 , 7 max im 5, 7 .5 measured by physio i look taller and heavier.
Feyweather is even shorter maybe 5'6-.5 range, kahn has no chin but is tallest of blokes weak 5, 8.
I've never seen one boxer who isnt inflated kinda sad mma is same way.
Dude he last boxed is listed 6 ft and looked huge compared righting is on wall.
jordanft19 said on 19/Nov/19
5'7.25" guy.
Aar?n R said on 19/Nov/19
Nice add rob
Anon11 said on 18/Nov/19
Rob, Alvarez only held the WBA "regular" title at super-middleweight, which is not a recognised world title. WBA Super is their world title. He is a World Champion in 3 weight divisions.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 18/Nov/19
I don't think he'd mind hearing that, Arch! 😋🍻😁

5ft7.5.
Barr said on 18/Nov/19
170.5
169 at night
He looks always very short
Chris MTW said on 17/Nov/19
Click Here If Canelo is listed at 5’7.5 and Drake Bell is listed at 5’7.5, then why does Canelo look taller? Because in this picture they’re wearing the same style shoe.
Editor Rob
Click Here - could be he's on a higher step?
Arch Stanton said on 17/Nov/19
Mexican?? He looks like the sort of lad you'd see at a night club in Dublin!
White Rose said on 17/Nov/19
A bit shorter than Amir Khan. So this listing is correct. His wide frame makes him look taller.
Junior31 said on 16/Nov/19
Yes awesome add rob..he’s in fact this height. Spot on
Kaoz said on 16/Nov/19
looks 5'8" flat
miko said on 16/Nov/19
He's a weird one he can look as short as 5'7 but then hold his own with taller guys.

He's just got the edge on Mayweather.
Sword said on 16/Nov/19
Might appear half an inch taller on screen but this seems about right for Canelo.
FiveEightJake said on 16/Nov/19
Quite surprised at this one he struck me more as a flat 5’7 sort of guy. He is stocky though I guess.
Editor Rob
I think 5ft 7.5 is probably the most I would estimate, no way is this guy 5ft 8-9 range.
