I know his official height is listed at 5'11 but people believe he is 5'10.
Check out this pic of him next to 5'9 Mosley, 5'10 leonard. He definitely looks a inch taller than Leonard who looks taller than Mosley.

He, as in, mike Tyson, the man himself, said in an interview that he measures a "pathetic 5 foot 10".
That pic you posted proves nothing, he's probably wearing lifts.
Yeah, im pretty sure i have seen numerous pictures of Tyson with lifts..
The pictures proves nothing, both mosley and leonard aren't standing straight up and who knows about their footwear etc.
But most fighters probably have the wrong heights listed; you can't just say tyson wasn't a small HW because he's 5'11, because he was probably fighting people with false heights as well.
5'11 is about right. Boxers' height and reach is often listed wrong, just look at Williams. He's supposedly 6'1" or something? He's more like 6'3".
Agreed.
I seen Williams in person at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. I was shocked at how big that guy was. Definitely taller than 6'1. I was also surprised at how big he was, I mean I thought he was thinner. Dude was massive lol he has really wide shoulders. It's amazing he made 147.
Ironically, Sergio Martinez was also there fighting on the undercard. He had the most impressive performance of the night in my opinion despite Williams blowing out Quintana.
I seen both Cotto and Williams in person...the size difference is craaaazy lol I could never picture them fighting in the ring. I was shocked at how small Cotto was and how huge Williams was.

Or maybe Mosley and Leonard are shorter than 5'10 and 5'11. Why does Tyson have to be taller than the listed height? Maybe they are shorter.
I'll tell you one thing, Cotto is listed as 5'7. I'm about 5'8 or 5'9ish and when I stood next to Cotto I felt like I TOWERED over him. I think he's more 5'6 than 5'7.
