Pacquiao's Frame Analyzed

[AdamGB]

Tyson is 5 foot 11 and 1/2

Loads of people have him as 5 foot 10 for some reason though... Probably due to his crouched he fought.

I've seen plenty of tale of the tapes have him as 5 foot 11.5 and a year or two ago my brother (who is at least 6 foot 2) got a photo next to him... he only looks a shade taller than Tyson.

But your point is true, De la hoya is only slightly shorter than Tyson... but he could never get anywhere near Heavyweight, not in 100 years.

Does anyone have a list of accurate height-weight-and wrist measurements of prominent fighters of today? It will be nice to test this study.....

The wrist size is the key to this study but unfortunately, also the hardest to find.

Cotto's and Margarito's wrist sizes are both 7.5, and Pac's at 8.

actually, before this article even came out, i was thinking if there were successful boxers/fighters with small fists. i have feminine hands(don't any of you dare hit on me) but i think i have good hand speed and fundamentals. i don't think i'm a knockout puncher though and i've had a few injuries on my right wrist (i'm orthodox, but left handed).

have any fighters in mind with small fists? i really noticed pac's fist and they're HUGE! calluses and all, his hands look like a foot.

First it depends how one messures the wrist. From what i know it must be messured over the part of the forarm and this means that if some one have more muscular forearm he can be messured with biger wrist... For example if i don't squze to much the band my forarm is 8,2 inches and when i squze it i get litlebit under 8... I think that we need some oder messurments too, like head and hips for example. Also the race must be taken under considaration. Just an observation most of the heavyweight have big heads and wide hips (Foreman,Tyson or Tua for example).

still a much better explanation than "he must be on peds".
