Lying tale of the tapes

[dempseyfire]

Michael Dokes wasn't 6'3", and George Foreman wasn't either.

Definitely agree Dokes wasn't 6'3. His reach was also highly inflated; often listed as 78' & sometimes more, but I saw one listing at 74' and that looks much more accurate.

Foreman wasn't 6'3 as in he was taller? He was definitely in the 6'3-6'4 range.

you can see dokes has stubby arms , no way he had a 78 unless he was all shoulders

Ali claimed Foreman was 6'2.5"

[Controversial]

I don’t think Ali was 6’3” if you watch him face off with Henry Cooper there isn’t a lot in it and Cooper is normally listed as being 6’1.5” so I reckon Ali was maybe a shade over 6’2

Bugner looked clearly taller than Cooper when they fought and Bugner was allegedly 6’4
