    Ever been shocked at a fighters real life appearance?

    I ran into David Tua at the outlet mall and he was so short I didn't really think it was him. I am 6'1 and this was when he had that hair sticking up real high, and even his hair wasn't as tall as me. They say he's 5'10 or so. Definitely more like 5'7 or 5'8.

    JC Chavez was taller than I expected. They say he's 5'9. I say at least.

    Mike Tyson was taller than I expected. He is definitely the full 5'11. And the widest in shape person Ive ever seen.

      that's cool, how tall did you estimate tyson? it's weird some people who met him say he's like 5'9 5'10 other say he's 5'11 maybe it's the shoes he's wearing. teddy atlas said he's 5'10.

        It's usually the smaller weight guys who are alot more different than you expect them to look.

                He looked to be about 5'10 But he was damn huge when you see how thick he is. He looked to be slightly shorter than me and I am 5'11. But thenn again with all the women that were near him it was hard to get an accurate gauge.
