Shavkat can't become champ

[Thy]

i was gonna say less about the height, and more about how he's not fighting for the title.

 

[ultra321]

Usman and Leon are both listed at 6'0? Does Usman cut height like Carwin did?
View attachment 1074393

Leon is about 6'1/6'2

It never occurred to me that Dana was that short....

 

[sonhow]

Kamaru Usman - 6'0
who is barely over 6ft, so most likely standing on tiptoes, and only won by split decision.

Won what - his lost boyhood back? Because he aint got no split decision on record.

Other than that good job and nice observations ts

This makes sense. Shavkat will have to cut height to make WW championship height

 

[rorschach51]

Amusing thread lol.

 

[cold_spring_harbor]

Wish we could of had Shavkat vs Khamzat!!! That would have been one of the best fights ever

 

[Iroh]

TS is doing it all wrong! You need to compare hairlines, not height.

 

[brody_in_ga]

Rahkmanov has a very mysterious and effective style, we don't really know his ceiling

Gerry is also very clever and talented but I can't help but think of the mvp fight

We haven't seen either deal with adversity, that's why I'm so pumped. One 0 has to go

Shavkat has indeed dealt with adversity... He's been dropped several times in his career, but he always manages to come back and finish the fight. He's as tough as they come.

Statistically, Shavkat is too tall to be a WW champ.

Let's consider previous champions:

Pat Miletich - 5'10

Carlos Newton - 5'9

Matt Hughes - 5'9

BJ Penn - 5'9

Georges Saint-Pierre - 5'10

Matt Serra - 5'6

Exception that proves the rule
Carlos Condit - 6'1
- GSP vacated the belt, so he didn't win it
- This was an interim fight against Nick Diaz (6'1)
- Then GSP returned and flushed him

Johny Hendricks - 5'9

Robbie Lawler - 5'11

Tyron Woodley - 5'9

Interim
Colby Covington - 5'11


Welterweight is the Strong Manlet division. The first time we see someone >6ft winning the title, it's
Kamaru Usman - 6'0
who is barely over 6ft, so most likely standing on tiptoes, and only won by split decision.
He then loses to
Leon Edwards - 6'0 (edit: or possibly 6'2)

before the title passes back to a stocky <6ft guy:
Belal Muhummad - 5'10


As Shavkat is 6'1, his obscene height is not suitable for the WW division. He will get wrecked by Belal and Short King supremacy in WW will be retained.

Surprised Nick Diaz is 6‘1. And by your logic Khamzat also would be too tall for WW but we saw what happened.

 

[Clark Rogers]

But is height really the determining factor, or is it other things like reach, that could be height related, but maybe not?

Reach dictates spacing more than height does, imo.

Well at least your reasoning doesn't involve a curse.

I think he's about 5'11, just the angle of the photo

 

[stalehotdog]

I could have sworn I saw Woodley was listed as 5’7” in one of his boxing matches.

 

[Brigfa2]

Wish we could of had Shavkat vs Khamzat!!! That would have been one of the best fights ever

Fight of the most overrated fighters of all time

Condit was never champ and Usman never won a split decision

 

[DrRodentia]

Garry is even taller. He's fucked.

 

[Ser das Trevas]

Carlos Prates beats both Belal and Shavkat on the same night without much resistance
