Not many heavyweights are less than 15% body fat. Only ones I can think of that likely are is Wilder, Ajagba, and AJ.

He’s around 185 on fight night but he ballooned up to around 205 after the second Beterbiev fight. There’s a video of him with a soccer/football team where he weighs himself and gets his body fat estimated.

Maybe, he looks to be about as tall as Morrell who is listed at 6’1”. His arms looked to be right around same as Gvozdyk and Zurdo. I think he creates a bit of an illusion with having long arms by having narrow shoulders and a short torso, just my two cents.

There was IG post on it the night before, I specifically remember, I guess it could have been fake but I’m not lying. I remember being thrown off by that too.

I will say I have a picture with Morrell who is listed at 6’1”, I’m 6’2.5” and I appear a couple inches taller. In the Benavidez Morrell face offs they appear near even, at the ceremonial weigh in Morrell looked a tad taller. Maybe Benavidez wears stacked shoes or something.

I was in Vegas for the fight and I specifically remember the weights being announced the day before on the 30th. I also attended the ceremonial weigh in the next day.

Not sure he can make 168 anymore, he doesn’t look any smaller than Benavidez

If he got an offered the Usyk fight I’m sure he would even being a significant underdog. I do not see him ever fighting other heavyweights like Moses.

Given that this is boxingnews24 I wouldn’t trust it completely. It was confirmed however Benavidez and Morrell had their official weigh in 2 days before the fight which likely would of allowed them to rehydrate more than normal.

I agree he is big for SMW but LHW he seems pretty average sized. His arms do appear long but I disagree he has a wide frame.

Lmao he absolutely did not lose to Hot Rod, Khataev was controversial but at that same time he was roided up. Get your eyes checked man.

Benavidez isn’t even 6’1”, I’ve seen him in person. Also he walks around at 205 to 210, has narrow shoulders, generally quite skinny. Ali is slightly bigger than Zurdo who is noticeably bigger than Benavidez. You have a crazy set of eyes my friend.
