WWE Superstar Montez Ford of the Street Profits has been a lifelong athlete. He was in the track and field team in his younger days and shattered several high school records. He also likes to play basketball and still dunks , which should come as no surprise considering the high flying techniques he employs inside the squared circle.

Montez Ford can vertical jump a whopping 62-inches!

In a video posted by the WWE, Montez Ford can be seen landing a 62-inch box jump. To put this in perspective, LeBron James has a vertical jump of 44 inches, Shaq was at was 32 inches and ‘His Airness’ Michael Jordan measured at 48 inches. Both of them have impressive numbers but they still pale in comparison to Montez Ford’s feat.

Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
