    Is DeLaHoya as tall as they say?

    I think is is common for athletes to fib about their weight and height. Oscar is always listed between 5'10-1/2" and 5'11".
    It is also known that shorter celeberties and athletes wear lifts in their shoes that can make them appear much taller! He is known to use them. Just look at the various height differences between him and other fighters depending on the shoes he wears. What do you feel his true height is?

    Oscar is about 5'10 barefoot, look at him next to Floyd, no way is more than 2 inches taller.

        Floyd is another one that fibs about his height. He is no taller than 5'7". I spent a couple of mins. speaking with him in Vegas at a club and I'm 5'9" with shoes almost 5'8" without. He was shorter than me and was wearing simular shoes. By the way look at the recent photos of Pac-man and Oscar at the recent promotion in N.Y. If Pac is 5'6" there is no way Oscar is 5'10".

          floyd jr is short cause a radio host who does sports talk in las vegas said no way is floyd jr 5 feet 8 if he is 5 feet 8 then im a giant.

          he said floyd jr is barely 5 feet 6.

          the host said hatton is not 5 feet 7 either he is around 5 feet 5 when he did interviews with them.

          the radio host was 5 feet 9.

            He's definitely 5'11" in stilettos.

              does anyone have any idea of Roy Jones jr's true height? just wondering, everywhere I've seen lists him as 5ft 11 but he looks a little shorter!

                I've seen both PAC and DelaHoya in person yesterday.
                The way I looked at it, he doesn't look that tall.
                He's about my height....5'9 or probabaly less.
                The size difference between him and PAc isn't that big.
                Pac got a chance here.

                    actually 5'11" seems right on. I've been around him on several occations. At most maybe 1/2" off. Of course I'm talking about Roy Jones here.
