He’s barely 5’11 Jarell miller dwarfed him in the weigh in it looked like a 5-6 inch height difference and I have Miller as 6’3-6’4.But tbf he prob wearing shoes with either lifts or large soles so Ruiz prob about 5’11.definitely not 6 foot even Hearn is closer to 5 inches taller than him

He’s 5’11, but in one of the press conferences against Joshua he wore lifts to look closer in height with him. During the fight it was an obvious towering — about 7 inches.

Emil, it's not that deep. Boxers, especially heavyweights, are notorious for inflating their height. There are so many in the heavyweight division that if you go down a list on boxrec, for example, more than not are inflating their height by 1" and quite often 2". Ruiz has not seen 6' a day in his life.

He could base his 6'2 claim on some measurement he had taken for his driver's license or something. In shoes, and in front of a height chart, it could look like he'd just about hit the 6'2" mark earlier in the day.
But barefoot, I'd be surprised if he exceeded 6'0" after lunchtime, at least with a stadiometer.

And here is Crawford with 5’8.25 listed Amir Khan Click Here
He can’t be more than a strong 5’11 in my opinion. He wasn’t any taller than 5’11.25 Jimmy Kimmel even though he’s tilting his head up to look taller Click Here

Taking a closer look, maybe he is 6'0, I think the angle made him look taller, 6'0 is an excellent height for boxing, a pity he inflates 2 inches.

@Harry - I never said winning one version of the title makes you automatically legitimate. Factually speaking the results said top heavyweights tend to be about an inch and a half taller than the 70s.
I don't know why that fact bothers you so much, it's not like boxing fans even generally respect modern heavyweights much. Boxing is one of the few sports I know of where the fans tend to underrate the current champions vs past champions. Pretty much any GOAT list will cite a bunch of old fighters and say that there is no chance the current best guys couldn't hang with them. In basketball for example it's the opposite where the old champions are often underrated.

Lol @Mickie winning the title doesn't make you relevant. Various guys have help parts of the title and nobody cared or even knew who they were. The point is little child is there were tons of 6'5 plus fighter in the 70's 80' and 90's and I never heard anybody get excited over that fact or call these guys super heavwyeights.

Looks like 2.5 inches shorter than Arreola, although I did not check the footwear. I have had Arreola at 6'2.5 for a long time, so this is about the difference in height I expected between the two of them.

Fighting for a title doesn't suddenly make you super relevant. Maybe in the 70s there was some basis for that.

@Mickie every single last one of the guys I named were top 10 or even top 5 guys. Gerry Cooney, Al Jones, Leroy Jones, Chuck Wepner, Jack O'Halloran, Roy "Tiger" Williams ect were all 6'5 plus inch guys and all were top 10 guys. Leroy Jones, Gerry Cooney, and Chuck Wepner all fought for the title/Titles. Just because you are a casual fan kid who only knows who Ali is because you heard ESPN mention doesn't change the fact they were tons of legit 6'5 plus legit world class top 10 level fighters in the 70's and nobody cared of acted like being 6'5 made you a star.

Naming the current heavyweight champions is "cherry picking" now? My point remains, nobody cares about random 6'5"+ heavyweights, you have to point to evidence of an objective trend. Be it the heights of the champions, top 10 rated boxers, etc.

Lol and @Mickie you cherry pick taller fighters and ignore the shorter fighters like Andy Ruiz. Nobody considered George Foreman tall back in the 70's and nobody considered Ali tall back in the 70's. If the guys I named were 6'5-6-6 or even 6'9 back in the 70's then why would anybody consider the 6'2 1/2 Ali and 6'3 George Foreman tall?
The point is kid there were tons of 6'5 fighters back in the 70's and nobody ever considered these guys super heavyweights. Casual boxing fans just started spouting that super heavyweight stuff in the past 5-1o years.

He's barely 6'0 I don't know what they gave him but Anthony Joshua almost 6'6 was an easy 5'5 inches taller there's no doubt about that.

There goes Harry Sachs again, cherry picking random 6'5"+ heavyweights from the old days to make a point about boxers from decades ago being better. Fact is Tyson Fury at 6'7.25" - 6'7.5" would have a big height advantage over George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Muhammad Ali who were considered tall fighters. Anthony Joshua at 6'5'.75" would be much bigger too. Doesn't mean Fury or AJ would beat those guys, but it does mean they'd be taller.
Nobody cares that there were some slow plodders who were tall back then, the trend is obviously in favor of taller champions now. If you want to comment on a trend, pick something objective. Do average heights of HW champions, or average height of Ring magazine top 10s by year, etc. Litterally nobody cares about naming a handfull of irrelevant HWs from the 70s.

Lol @Jordan87 this is the last message I will send to you then I will just ignore you. You do know Google and Boxrec are wrong most of the time? Google has Andy Ruiz being 6'2 when he isn't. Google has CM Punk being 6'2 when he isn't. Google has Kane the wrestler being 7'0 taller. Clearly you are one of those guys who just thinks he knows more than what he does. Tyson Fury isn't 6'9. He is 6'7. There were countless 6'7 boxers back in the 1990's. Anthony Joshua is around 6'5. As stated there were tons of 6'5 or so inch boxers even back in the 1970's Again Leroy Jones, Al Jones, Gerry Cooney, Chuck Wepner, Jack O"Halloran, Roy Williams,Larry Middleton, James J Beattie was actually 6'9, Orville Qualls, Jeff Merrit,ect. Should I name more? Then you had tons of guys who were shorter than 6'5 but taller than 6'3 bet George Foreman, Ron Lyle, Larry Holmes, Duane and Rodney Bobick.
You clearly don't watch boxing. You just think you know what you are talking about. Even the shorter guys like Joe Frazier who was 5'11 was no shorter than Andy Ruiz Jr. Guys like Muhammad Ali was still just as big if not bigger than Joseph Parker, Alexander Povektkin, Michael Hunter who were all either champions or contenders up until recently. The human bodeis doesn't evolve ever 20 years.
Nobody mentioned height back then because nobody cared.Nobody thought height made you a better fighter. Commentators will tell you that current heavyweights are so much bigger and stronger than even the heights from the 90s because they want you to watch their product. Hell a 50 year old Evander Holyfield was able to hold his own it not do better against the 5'11 overweight Andy Ruiz. The same Andy Ruiz who beat the stuffing out of Anthony Joshua. Anyway I am done. I won't waste my time responding to anything else you say kid.

@Canson Gerry Cooney boxed back in the 70's he was 6'5, Al Jones was 6'5/6'6. Leroy Jones was 6'5, Roy "Tiger" Williams was 6'5, Jack O'Halloran was 6'6, Chuck Wepner was 6'5. Should I go on? The typical casual fan will just mention Ali or Frazier and think those were the only two boxers from the 70's. Hell Ali was Still taller than guys like Andy Ruiz, Alexander Povetkin, who just won titles recently. Ali was around the same height as guys like Luis Ortiz and Joseph Parker who also just won titles recently.
You want to go even further? You do know Michael Grant, Jorge Gonzales Henry Akinwande,Lance Whitaker were all at least 6'7. Then you had guys like Mike "The Giant" White who was 6'10 300 pounds. Again nobody cared because nobody thought being taller made you a better fighter. Now casual fans will hear Max Kellerman talk about how much bigger and taller guys are today compared to even the guys from the early 2000's or later 90's and they believe this stuff is true.
You want me to go further? Most athletes now including boxers are measured with their shoes on and then still inflate their heights. Andy Ruiz is no where near 6'2. Tyson Fury is a 6'7 guy who claims to be 6'9. Boxes back in the 70's and maybe into the early 80's were measured barefooted so for the most part their heights were less inflated

@Canson todays boxers are fatter. Fatter doesn't equate to bigger. Even in terms of height. There were tons of boxers 6'4 plus from the 70's, 80's 90's. The thing is nobody cared. There is no height class in boxing. There is a weight class.

After the first fight with them still in the ring and obviously both wearing low heeled boxing boot, Ruiz and Joshua stood together for cameras a long time and the photos show the top of Ruiz's head was at the level of the bottom of Joshua's nose. Ruiz is under 6 foot, that is why he got his chance, they simply underestimated him because of his being a bit short for world class heavyweight. Ruiz is certainly over 5'11 but is not a strong 6 foot. The extra two inches is promotional. The fans are excited by tall heavyweights, so for the purpose of making Ruiz's bouts more appealing and more competitive match they (managers ect) bump up his height.

He looked to close to AJ in height at the first weigh in to be 5'11", unless he was wearing lifts in his shoes. I also can see that he's taller than Odell. Andy has more footwear, but the pictures is tilted in such a way that favors Odell looking a bit than he should. 6'0" flat is fair, that looked reasonable with Mike Tyson.

he is definitely a tricky one, his size makes him look about 3 inches shorter. I think 6'2 is really pushing it, probably Ruiz is closer to 6'0 . I think he is about 6'0.5 maybe 6'1 in shoes. definitely not 5'11, I don't know why people keep saying that. Ruiz is probably the shortest heavyweight boxer around so i doubt he is over 6'1.

I remember watching the fight with Joshua and thinking how short Ruiz looked. My mate then told me he was the same height as me and I was appalled; I had the false and confusing realization that I look that small compared to 6'5 range guys, till trusty Rob put his real height up on here. I do think he's a little below 6 foot though, I'll say 5'11.5". Didn't look much taller than Mike Tyson.

Editor RobWith Boxing, there's no measurement of height criteria unlike weight.
I think sports like Boxing, MMA, Wrestling are missing out by never doing any actual Height Measurement segments etc.

@Jordan87 - I agree with you as well. A certain poster likes to cherry pick random heavyweights from the 70s to prove they were as big as today's. It is madness. Just look at the trends of the guys who actually hold the belts. That is something objective. And it indicates height and weight have been increasing. Occasionally a shorter man like Ruiz can break through, but then again he defended the title exactly 0 times.

@c-mo - I agree. Just look at him next to Odell, he's clearly taller. Unless he is a lift wearer, Andy is roughly 6'0". If he wears lifts then that's the only way I can buy closer to 5'11".

@ HarrySachs ,
"Anyway the current heavyweights are no taller than they were since the 70's. They are just much heavier"
Use Google and Boxrec again, not very difficult. Heavyweights most Certainly taller nowadays, factually :)

Ruiz is indeed 5 11," pants down - 6 2" is bull. He's almost Mike Tyson's height, considering how Tyson matched against a 6 3/4" Lennox Lewis. Considering Joshua is at least 6 5," Andy is shorter than 6 foot.

@Mickie First off kid there was one belt back in the 1970's or 6'5 plus guys like Gerry Cooney, Roy "Tiger" Williams, Al Jones, Leroy Jones ect would of won the title. Rocky Marciano as I stated boxed in the 1950's. The average heavyweight back then was 180 pounds.
Second kid there is no height class in boxing. There are weight classes. Nobody back in the 70's 80's 90's or even early to mid 2000's acted like being 6'5 was a super heavyweight or a big deal. If anything the taller you get the less skilled you become.

Ruiz can certainly look under 6'0". He has also looked too tall to be less than 6'0" in some situations, unless he is also a lift wearer (which is possible, you never know).
Like this: Click Here
AJ is barefoot and yes, Ruiz is in shoes. Ruiz might be standing straighter of the two but Joshua isn't slouching much either. None the less, this isn't what a 5'11" guy would look like next to a near 6'6" guy with just a normal 1" shoe and no lifts. There are other examples like this.
So I think he's either a 6'0" non-lift wearer or he's a closer to 5'11" range lift wearer.

I believe ruiz is 6 foot, 5”11.5 at lowest. But joshua looked more than 6 inches taller than him from a face to face and recent weigh in. As he walked up he was walking as though he had inserted lifts, so he could give off the impression he towers over ruiz, which he does anyways. I think joshua was wearing shoes with lifts or had a substantial footwear advantage. He looked 7-8 inches taller

@ Harry - I'm picking and choosing? Me? That seems like projection. You're naming random big heavyweights from decades old. I'm saying look at the trend of the height and weight of the title holders. Its gone up, on average. But there are always exceptions.
You may well be a more knowledgeable boxing fan than me, but you don't have to be an expert to see that the champions have on average been a bit bigger over time. It is really not complicated.

Lol @mickie Rocky Marciano boxed in the 50's. I am talking about guys from the 70's on. You ever heard of Lou Esa 6'6 260. Al Jones 6'5 230, Leroy Jones 6'5 250, Gerry Cooney 6'5 230, Roy "Tiger" William 6'5 240. ect. I could name another 50 heavyweights from the 70's alone who were at least 6'5 but you aren't worth it. You will find something silly to type to prove your point.
You are picking and choose fighters to prove your point. Andy Ruiz is 5'11/6'0 tops. Alexander Povetkin is 6'1. Luis Ortiz is 6'2.
The fighters now are fat.There is one thing to be big and another thing to be fat. Fighters back in the 70's 80's 90's and even early 2000's were in much better shape than the guys are today in the heavyweight division.
You are picking and choose fighters to prove your point. Andy Ruiz is 5'11/6'0 tops. Alexander Povetkin is 6'1. Luis Ortiz is 6'2. George Foreman was 6'3 230. Which means Foreman was much heavier than Wilder. Ali was 6'2 1/2 which means he was taller than Ruiz and Ortiz.

Are you sure this guy is a flat 6ft. I think his heavy set physique might be deceiving. Up close and in person I get the feeling that he might be taller than this. Admittedly Joshua did look a lot taller in the weigh in at the last fight though so I might be wrong and Ruiz is 6ft no more or less.

Ruiz Jr - yes, 6 feet flat at best.
The weight loss claim for the upcoming rematch with AJ is either a scam or at best an originally legit goal that wasn't achieved - as per available sources (sans obvious photo shop) Ruiz doesn't look notably lighter. Given the complexion and result of the first fight one would guess that AJ will modify his strategy looking to stay well out of harm's way and maximise his height/reach advantage over a number of rounds, picking Ruiz off - with the hope that Ruiz will slow and perhaps gas badly - perhaps using Lewis v Tua as a blue print - but AJ is no Lewis. Enter the Ruiz weight loss claim - a contrived shout out to the AJ camp that an alleged lighter Ruiz has the chase covered and is up for the long haul.
In their first fight Ruiz appeared to have AJ rocking and reeling with almost every connection - not like the one punch KO losses that Lewis avenged. Very tough for AJ to reverse the result unless he can stop Ruiz early which would require an aggressive approach from the outset which invites the obvious risk of being blown out all over again.

@ Harry Sachs - lol. Yes they are bigger today. The top guys. Taller and heavier. Compare Fury, Wlad, Vitali, Joshua etc to guys like Ali, Frazier, Foremam, Rocky M, etc. I'm not saying today's guys are better or worse but objectively the height and weight of the heavyweight champions has trended upwards. Any real boxing fan OR casual can tell you that. Only someone who doesn't know anything about the sport would tell you otherwise.

Also @mickie the casual boxing fan. You brought up Lennox Lewis. A boxer who turned pro in the late 80's. Nobody consider him being 6'4 1/2 a super heavyweight. Tyson Fury is 6'7. There were tons of guys that height in the 80's and 90's and nobody consider that to be a super heavyweight. There were tons of 6'6 guys like Jack O'Halloran, Al Jones, James J Beattie ect and nobody called them a super heavyweight.
Joshua just got knocked out by a 6'0 tall Andy Ruiz. As a amateur 5'11 Mihai Nistor knocked out Anthony Joshua. The 6'6 Deontay Wilder was dominated and dropped by a 6'0 tall guy as a amateur.I always found it funny when casuals like you keep bringing up wrong information because you heard somebody on TV say it.

@Mickie They are too tall. Being tall is fine but they look overweight and slow its kind of boring. AJ got too much muscles for his frame he looks robotic. I think tall people can only pack that much muscle/fat if they are built like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson from game of thrones. Otherwise they look like lanky guys who packed too much muscles and makes them uncoordinated.
That's why the average mr Olympia bodybuilders is like 5 foot 7.

@Mickie I think what he is trying to say is that the heavyweight division is not what it used to be. The skill level is very low compared to the past. 6 foot cruiser weights might not want to move up for different reasons and not because they cannot compete with heavyweights. Andy ruiz showed that a world class natural 6 foot cruiserweight boxer who is overweight can beat the best heavyweight boxer alive today.

Somebody suspected Dimitrenko is not 6'7, but i don't think so. He looked the same height as 6'7.5 listed Adrian Granat. Also, he doesn't look shorter than 6'7 listed Tony Yoka.

Andy wears often thick sneakers, with probably 1-1.5in lifts. He was almost the same height as Joseph Parker in the weigh in. Parker though barefoot, but anyway, Parker is a legit 6'3 barefoot, Andy cant be more than 6'1 in sneakers. Yet he was almost the same height as Parker. With similar shoes Parker is 3in taller. With Dimitrenko he also looks close to 6'3 lol.

@c-mo I agree, but only about the part that your mind cannot be changed lol. I don't think there is an objective ideal height for life, as different people are going to prefer different pluses and minuses of a given height. Objectively I think it's obvious that 6'0" is shorter than the ideal fighting height when you consider how many taller champions there are and how taller heights are rare in the population. But I doubt either of us switch our views.
Andy at 6'0" is correct btw.

@ Mickie
only because 6'0 is the ideal height for fighting it doesnt mean that taller heights are bad for fighting . and there are also advantages of being very tall itself like reach advantage and you can weigh more without being fat and weight is an important factor in fighting . but a 6'0 guy has the advantage of brawling it out in the inside like andy did with joshua for example .
btw. you should look up Igor Vovchanchyn . he is around 172cm or so and was a heavyweight kickboxing and mma pioneer and he beat a lot of tall men
he hasnt lost often and when he did it was mostly due to grappling/submissions since he is a predominantly stand up fighter

Andy is always standing at his very best in his shots. Obviously he wants to look as big as possible, cause he knows he's quite a small for a heavy weighter. Im not so sure if he's really 5cm taller than Tyson. In the latest pic he looks barely 5cm taller, but Tyson is standing very relaxed, while Andy is giving his best, as usually.

@c-mo I understand what you're saying, I just don't think it makes any logical sense. Saying most 6'0" fighters are light-heavyweights doesn't make them better fighters, especially since they would lose to the heavyweights. If you want to find the BEST fighters, you have to look at the heavyweights. It's simple.
The last 2 decades saw Champions like Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, Lennox Lewis, and the Klitschko brothers. Given how many fewer men there are in the population with their heights than there are 6'0"-ish guys, this would be basically statistically impossible if their height was a disadvantage.
If you look at the top heavyweights over the past 2 decades it seems like 6'5" - 6'8" range is closer to what you could call ideal, rather than 6'0". There are so few men in the population 6'5" - 6'8" compared to those say 5'10.5" - 6'1.5" (to keep the range of inches the same) yet we see more heavyweight champions (read - the best boxer in the world who would beat anyone in the lower weight divisions) in that taller range.
The important distinction - like I mentioned before - is that 6'0" like Andy Ruiz is still tall enough to give you a chance. Especially because other attributes like your quickness, technical prowess, toughness, and power are more important than just looking at the height of a boxer. Mike Tyson showed it was possible even in the 5'10" range with the right gifts.

I don't see how anyone could say 6'0" is the optimal height for a boxer. Remember - heavyweights are the best fighters. This has nothing to do with era - lighter fighters are welcome to step up to heavyweight - but they seldom do that because they are not capable of competing against them.
Sure there are heavyweights near the top of the world who are under 6'2". But when you have 90% of the world's top 20 heavyweights are in the top 10% of the adult male distribution of height, it clearly indicates optimal height is in that top 10% rather than slightly below it. If there were as many 6'6" men in the population to draw from as there are 6'0" men, you would see an even more dramatic distribution; but in real life 6'6" guys are much rarer so the odds are lower finding one blessed with the exceptional skills - leaving some chance for the 6'0" champion who is a more exceptional talent. Like Andy Ruiz.
Ruiz is A heavyweight champion rather than THE heavyweight champion btw. That's yet to have been settled. I look forward to him fighting Wilder or Fury, provided he wins the rematch with AJ.

It is funny reading comments from casual boxing fans. Le--t me explain this too you casuals. Foreman turned pro in 1969. Wladimir Klistchko turned pro in the 1990's was champion up until a few years ago. Foreman and Wlad actually fought fought some of the same fighters. The fighters who fought both Wlad and George have stated that Foreman punched harder than Wlad. Fighters who faced/sparred both Wlad and Deontay Wilder have stated that Wlad punched. Harder.
Second the average height for a American mane in the 80's up till this day is 5'10. So people in this country aren't getting taller.
3rd in boxing there has been tons of 6'4 plus heavyweights from the 70's up till this day. Nobody ever referred to being 6'4 as being a super heavyweight until guys on these boxing shows started saying this recently.
4th most heavyweights today are just overweight. Which is why the heavyweight division is so bad.
5th there is no heavyweight height division. There is a heavyweight weight division. So being a taller heavyweight doesn't make you a better fighter. If anything it makes you slower and more clumsy.
In any case Andy Ruiz is around 6'0 tall and is the heavyweight champion of the world after beating the 6'5 or so Anthony Joshua.

Out of boxrec's world top 20 heavyweights (definitely not a perfect list imo but should give some sort of idea) we have:
2 guys under 6'1" (just Ruiz and Rivas, although Ruiz is billed above this range we know it's nearly certain he belongs here)
9 guys from 6'1" to 6'4"
9 guys over 6'4" (It would actually be 10 guys in this category and 8 in the former if I counted billed 6'4.5" Kubrat Pulev here, but I am not sure if he is really over 6'4").
The portion of the young male population that is over 6'1" in the western world is probably no more than 10%. Yet they make up 90% of the top 20 ranked heavyweight boxers.
The portion of the young male population that is over 6'4" in the western world is probably less than 2%. Yet they make up 45% of the top 20 ranked heavyweight boxers.
Advantage goes to the tall, in this sport.

And just to add in - I don't think 6'0" is too short to have a chance at heavyweight today. But I think "ideal" is much taller. The 6'0" fighters in lower weight classes would do worse if they moved up in weight, not better. A good heavy weight will beat anyone in the world other than perhaps an exceptional cruiser weight.

@c-mo - I think if 6'0" was ideal, we would see the division dominated by guys around that height. There are so many more slightly above average height men in the world than there are towering giants, yet you see the majority of the top heavyweights are well over 6'0". That tends to suggest it's a rather crucial advantage.
6'0" may well be the ideal height for a light-heavy division fighter or something, as once you start talking about weight classes the taller guys won't be able to function well at as low of a weight. But for the modern heavyweight, it seems like the prototype has shifted more towards guys who are above 6'5". In the old days there were a lot more guys at the top of the divison in the 6'0" - 6'4" range, but it seems like most of the time the heavyweight belt holders in the last couple decades have been 6'5"+.

6'0" is definitely not an ideal height for a modern heavyweight - but it is tall enough to give you a chance. If you look at the Klitschko's, Wilder, Joshua, Fury, etc it is obvious that height is an advantage. Still Ruiz at 6'0", and a guy like Oscar Rivas who is likely under the 6'0" mark show you can be competitive in the modern era.

6'0" - 6'0.25" was what I ended up thinking after reviewing more pics. He can look under 6'0" at times, but unless he is a lift wearer (which you can't entirely rule out - the much taller boxer Wlad did it) his stare downs with AJ and Parker made under 6'0" look impossible.

of course fighting is not everything in life lol ....in fact boxing is a sport and fighting in general should only be done if it is absolutely necessary and if there is no way out and you have to protect yourself or your loved ones or something like that .
but 6'0 is great for fighting . you are tall enough to have not much if any weight disadvantage against taller men and have a reach and weight advantage over shorter men . you go in and brawl with tall men which is a big problem for them ...and you are more agile and quicker than taller men .
at 6'0 you are above average height but not too tall in any way . clothes , beds , doors , busses , cars , all no problem at all . great height for most sports , good height for dating because it is comfortable with women of almost any height , you can model at this height , still not tall enough to have problems gaining muscle mass , it is the ideal height
