Just how tall is Amir Khan?

Post by s9s »

with all the talk about Amir Khans size advantage over MAB in the allegedly upcoming fight I viewed his loss over Prescott again and a couple of things struck me. Both fighters are listed at 5ft 11" yet Prescott seemed at least 1 and a half inches taller than him, and I don't think Prescott is 6ft or over.

My mate has seen Khan at close quaters and reckons he is taller than him, and my mate is 5ft 10". Does anyone know? Does anyone care?

More importantly, what side does he dress on.

He's 5'8'' or 5'9''.

I have a photo of my mate who is 6'1'' stood next to Amir (that i would post here now if i knew how to), and he is several inches taller than Amir.

5'8'' is still a good height for a lightweight, though.

Taller than most super featherweights.

Anyone notice, since going with Roach, Amir has a nicer stance, bends his knees a lot more, so he seems to fight a tad "smaller" now - bit more compact.

Prescott seemed to be a few inches taller than Khan. Scott Lawton & Stefy Bull are listed at 5' 10".

Khan looks to be around the same height as Kristjansen.

Amir Khan was only 8 inches tall after Prescott flattened him. He was 5ft 9 in wide however.
