250lb Marciano, Most Powerful of All Time?

[BKM-]

It doesn't really matter because wether he's 5'9 or 5'10 or 5'11 or 5'11 1/2 or 6'0 he still dominated the ring for most of the 80's and some of the 90's and in my book is an all time great..

Yes, good post. But im still gonna post the picture when needed

Found this clip on a website containing a discussion of Tyson's height. Eddie Murphy is 5'10" at best and Tyson is clearly shorter.

LOL, you're still trying? Haha. Is there a measurement of Tyson on that video? Or any of the photos you're gonna post? No, so untill then, this picture is the real evidence.

I'm still trying to locate photographic proof of Tyson being 5'9 but unfortunatley there's pictures that prove both sides of the argument..

the biggest thing i can say is look here





I believe Kevin Mcbrid is 6'6 but even this pic doesn't help because Tyson still in the 5'9-5'11 range but this pic IMO kinda shows him shorter closer to 5'9...

There's also a height difference in the pictures it may be because Tyson's looking up in the first one but I'm not sure..

But from what I can tell in the top picture (with clothes and SHOES on) he looks closer to 5'11

but in the second one where he's pratcially naked he looks closer to 5'10 or 5'9...

Yeah but Kevin Mcbribe is a big bastard!

Yeah but Kevin Mcbribe is a big bastard!

thats the truth I'm Irish and I usually like Irish boxers but McBrides kind of a deu*th (as if the star took anything away from the word )

I hate what he said to Tyson-

"When I hit you its gunna feel like all of Ireland is hitting you"..


I swear Tyson was drugged for the fight because even a Tyson who tdidn't give a damn would have been more ferocious then that...There's no way Tyson was straight for that fight...

"so Mike how do you feel about your opponent"

"He called me a bad MF'er"

he said MF'ER thats not this Tyson..

Tyson was drugged...

I've already shot the credibility of your picture to pieces. Tyson is not standing against the chart, he is a good foot or more away from it. This makes him appear bigger in relation to the chart than he really is. Take the picture down, it proves nothing.

I'm half irish as well. We're probably related since my family breeds like rabbits and half of them live in America!

And you also realise he's not standing fully straight like he should be if they were gonna measure his height, and he's already taller than 5,11?

All you can do now is deny it, but you cant prove anything with pictures or video where he is not standing straight, or is wearing shoes that can make you taller like Eddie Murphy, or where there is no measurement. I proved my point with evidence, you have not. Tyson is and was 5,11 1/2

I wouldn't doubht it since my Family (Irish side) is huge...My mom came from a family of 9 and the tree just gets bigger as it goes up....I'm also 1/2 Irish

Here's some trivia- Though my favorite fighter (more or less) is Rocky marciano I don't have an ounce of Italian Blood in me...
