Dee Collier height correction

Post by Tuan_Jim »

Dee Collier is taller than the listed 6'2'' on Boxrec.

If you skip to 3.34 on this video he is listed as 6'4''. You can also see generally he's a very big chap.

looking at them head to head, doesnt look like a 7 inch height difference that 6'4 vs 5'9 would be, especially if we chop Dee's fro down

i mean, you dont have to be a giant to look 'very big' vs a 5'9 dude who should be at cruiser

compare that to a genuine 7 inch differnce (minus the hair lol)...dave doest even reach len's eyes with len looking down

For some reason you screen grabbed the moment Collier had his head bowed while Norris was stood up straight. A second or two before or after and Collier is standing erect and the height difference looks bigger.

I've seen Norris listed as 5'11'' in other fights. He looked the same height as Tyson in the face off.

I tried to compare with Norris vs Tucker, a bonafide 6'5''er, but annoyingly Showtime filmed the referee's instructions in an aerial view! Ffs!

Yea he's obviously bigger. I feel like I saw a tape of him in another fight in the 90s but looking at his record I can't think which one it could have been.

When Collier stands erect the tip of his head is out of shot! Naturally Maggie in her familiar trollish way snapped him when he was slouched and bowing his head.

norris is listed 5'9 most places and looks it, , never 7 inches there between them there, with a legit 7 inches he wouldnt be coming up past colliers eyes and close to the top of the head no matter how the heads were held, 7 inches is massive, like when len can look down at tua, with head/chin titlted down, but tua still doesnt even reach his eye level

clearly a bigger gap between the one pair and the other, though i get it, you think and thought collier was a huge lump

disagree on someone's height = TROLL!!! :lol: :lol:

Selectively picking a screen shot when the man's head is bowed and we can't see his posture to argue a point is obviously trollish, as is wilfully misunderstanding why someone would call you a troll. You go from forum to forum annoying people with your antics, like an attention seeking child.

Run along, imbecile, and annoy someone else.

Incidentally, if anyone cares, Norris is listed as 5'11'' in multiple fights including Nate Miller I & II, Art Williams I & II, Mike Tyson (who he was apparently the same height as) and Andrew Golota, among others.

Not uncommon for a team to shave off an inch or two to make an avoided fighter seem less threatening. Manny Steward did it with Tommy Hearns early in his career too.

lol, all crabby just because someone doesnt agree with you on dee collier's height :lol:

orlin was 5'9, though if your tryna say he's 5'11 now (well there goes the credibility of your source if that's the case lol) i guess you even see that the difference isn 7 inches at all :TU:

Weigh in pics are misleading, especially when we can't see what they're standing on.

Norris is 5'11''.

You're such a thick and/or dishonest retard, and a cancer for threads, it's pointless speaking to you.
