[cosmichorn]

I hear mixed things from 5"9 to 6 ft, my personal guess being somewhere between 5"10-5"11

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

tall enough I say

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

I think Tyson really was 5-11".

[them_apples]

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

[AntonTheMeh]

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

[Khan-Fan]

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 ****ed, making that point a bit higher.

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.

[CottoWinsPartII]

I heard from someone who met him that he was about 5-9...
