just HOW tall was tyson?

Tyson is 5'11 1/2 when he stands up straight, so almost 6ft. He slouches though and is about 5'10 when doing so That's the thing. Tyson has a terrible posture. He's been slouching since he was young. Because of this, some people even went as far as saying he's BARELY 5'9 LOL.

He was definitely under 6 foot cos everyone made a habit of saying he was too small to be a heavyweight. I reckon about 5"10 Tommy Burns, 5'7", 168 lbs (the guy Jack Johnson won his title from,) now that's a small HW. I'd say about 5'10 1/2". Some one has a prison picture of him where the top of his head is at 5'11", but his head is cocked, making that point a bit higher.

tyson is 5-10..........

I think Tyson really was 5-11".

this has been open to debate for years and years..... and the above poster is right because it dont matter a fuck how tall he was really. tall enough I say

I hear mixed things from 5"9 to 6 ft, my personal guess being somewhere between 5"10-5"11 doesn't matter. he's taller than everyone who is laying on their back.
