6' 3" .... OMG you need eye surgery soon
He is listed as 6'2 or 6'3
Of course you're going to look like a midget when you're boxing against someone six foot seven like he did in the gold medal match.
Don't care what internet listings says. You have to be good with your eyes. Even Boxrec heights are 50% wrong.
Richard Torrez he is shade under 6'2", and considering he got really long neck ( that's why he is good at moving his head) , he has shoulder height of a 6'1" fighter.
Well you must have super duper vision to be able to tell the difference between 6'2" and 6'3"... Cuz I sure as hell can't tell the difference in an inch from a wide camera angle.

Why should you argue with a one of the main parody accounts of this forum?

I haven't been here in several months so I don't know who is a joke and who isn't and in all fairness I see an awful lot of regulars who are just as flaky as the casuals so I take it all at face value.

It's even very hard to believe he is 6ft 1.5 inch ... your eyes need help

Torrez is only 22. And a marketing dream. If he had the gold he would be massive news. But even with silver he has a decent profile - at least I would think so? Can any American bros tell us how much attention he's been getting in the papers and news etc especially in non boxing publications?
At only 22 he can be brought along slowly and will learn a lot. He should improve an awful lot in next three years. Personally I really like him as an individual and a boxer. Let's hope he can go places. The US needs a decent heavyweight..... and let's be clear the fact he's a white Hispanic who is good looking and speaks well will make him very sellable.

I agree ,,,, they will put white chicks in slingshot and shoot pussies at him like they did for Tommy Morrison. They will build him up very fast

i like him, he fights with big balls and went straight at the big evil monster who'd brutally iced him previously. aside from jalo, he's beaten pretty much everyone he'd fought over the last several years, with many stoppages even though ppl question his size and strength
at the very least he should be fun

I actually see him going for the Bridgerweight belt in relatively quick fashion. Maybe 10 fights or less. Then on to the heavyweight division.

Right now I can't take the guy seriously because he reminds me of my fat bum cousin but he's alright could be a good cruiser. Wouldn't best the tall guys

We’ll get to see lots of him on ESPN+ which is really nice. Gonna have to buy a ticket to his debut if I can. Dude has guts and will be a fun heavy to watch as he makes his run.

He was a durable straightforward fighter in the ams. If he will be able to polish his game in the pros and be durable enough for the long distances, he can be successful even against behemoths. Gotta follow him. You can never say for sure, how a successful amateur does in the pros. Relying only on intuition, I expect the guy to be lower top-10 fighter at max.
