Boxers Who lie about their Height

[THAULTIMATE]

Who do you think are some of the boxers that lie about their height?

From seeing Kelly Pavlik in person he is a legit 6'2 so i give him the 6'2 1/2. I

have also seen Antonio Tarver 6'0 at best. also Tommy Hearns is legit

6'1. I never saw Paul Williams in person but i hear he is legit 6'1 maybe even

taller. John Duddy is legit 5'11 definitly. Kinsley Ikeke is definitly 6'4 pretty

crazy he towered over me at 6'1. Mike Tyson definitly shorter then 5'11.

Malignaggi is like 5'5 no way 5'9.

That's the truth about Tyson. I'd be willing to bet that he is closer to 5'9 than 5'11.

I'm not sure about Mike Tyson. Larry Merchant said they measured Tyson upright and he is really about 5'11. He seemed to be 5'11 on some video with the height in the background...was he barefoot though?

People say Tyson is definitely not 5'11 though.

Floyd Mayweather is listed at 5'8, but appears to be shorter and people say he is shorter.

Paul Williams might actually be taller than his listed height.

People that have met Felix Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya have told me that they're both probably shorter than 5'11.

the TV makes them look taller then they really are

Tye Fields lies, he said hes 6'8 but, lets have a look!

I know someone who saw the Williams-Margarito fight, and he told me that Williams is closer to 6'3 ish.

Mayorga... He's listed as 5'9, other times 5'10... And in the Oscar staredowns, they looked the same height.

Paulie has never been listed at 5'9.
