  • It doesn't matter what his posture is because we don't know how far away he is from the chart. It is COMPLETELY inaccurate because of this and therefore means nothing. The overwhelming evidence puts Tyson at 5'10" at the tallest, probably even a little smaller.

      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
      Not really becaue if you stand far enough away from a building you can appear as tall as it and you don't have to be standing straight up...This doesn't mean that your 2 stories high, its perspective, the essence of Trick Photography...

        It's funny because I can remember countless times where eddie has made fun of Tyson in his comedy...Eddie Murphy is funny as hell

        • It would be interesting to see Tyson standing next to David Tua.

          • Eddie Murphy is 5 feet 9 and 1/2 inches tall. But I don't see why we are debating Mike Tyson's height anyway.

              Uhmm, didn't anybody read this?

              • I think Tyson had more muscle mass when he fought McBride than he had in his prime. Even if you disagree with that, the Eddie Murphy tribute was in 1989 when Tyson had the exact same muscle mass as in his prime and he is still clearly shorter than the 5'9 1/2" Murphy. Regardless of how you put it, Tyson is shorter than all these celebrities, claims HIMSELF that he is 5'10", and everyone I've heard from who's seen him claims he's 5'10" or under.

                Against all this video evidence and testimony, all you who want him to be 5'11 1/2" have for evidence is a crappy forced perspective picture that can be dismissed immediately as inaccurate.

                Tyson is 5'10" tops.

                  That was mostly fat, not muscle mass.

                    Maybe by you, but you're one of those people who refuse to acknowledge anything even if you're proven wrong. This redicilous googling for pics of Tyson standing next to celebrities is pathetic..and NO EVIDENCE AT ALL. Because it never showed the ****ing measurement, but on this picture it does. Btw, you said its irrelevant because Mike may have been wearing shoes(Wich he didnt) and that it would affect his height. But he's wearing a suit next to Murphy..do you know what kind of shoes they were on these nights? Yeah.

                    And people you know who think Tyson is 5,10 are too uninformed anyway. They havent even seen Mike get measured. Larry Merchant said that people think Mike Tyson is 5,9/5,10 but when they measured with him he was indeed over 5,11.

                    You still havent proved a damn thing..but i did when i posted some evidence. So please, less talk, more proof please.

                    • I've already revealed your photographic evidence as being completely inaccurate. It's not a true measurement because Tyson is not squared up against the measuring line. He is closer to the camera than the chart (by how much we don't know) thereby skewing his size in proportion to the chart.

                      The photograph proves nothing.
