    just HOW tall was tyson?

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

          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

              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.
