I never claimed that Canelo was the same height or even taller than Golovkin. I simply claimed that Canelo won't look like a "midget" or a "pigmy" compared to Danny Jacobs.
I also personally doubt that Canelo would have trained in "pumps" for the photos that was taken of himself and Golovkin in the gym, since I can only imagine it being rather impractical to work-out wearing a pair of platform boots.
The picture with them doing the double biceps has Canelo up in front of GGG. Could explain the height thing. The other looks like Canelo just arrived or something. The guy's like a chameleon with his height. It changes so damn much.
Canelo would look like a midget compared to Jacobs is an exaggeration, but he would look short, no question. Jacobs recently got his listed height changed from 6'0" to 5'11.5", but he has been listed as 6'1" in the past. Based on pics with GGG, I'd say 6'0" is about right. Based on the available evidence, it would seem that Canelo is 3 inches shorter than GGG, therefore at least 4 inches shorter than Jacobs. Not dwarfed, but he would be very clearly the shorter man. It would be the same height difference as when Wlad fought Povetkin.
