    He's 5'11, and can dance on his toes like a 60s Muhammad Ali.

      At one point, they used to list Pac and Marquez at 5'5. Floyd at 5'7. Now he's 5'8 1/2.

        He's 5'10" he was measured once at 5'11" probably in his shoes, but he's 5'10 clear as day, Holyfield looked enormous compared to him and he's barely over 6'2"

          Wow huge difference

          Considering he was measured 5'11.5" more then 20 years ago and that he slouches a little, it makes sense

            Probably closer to 5'9 than he is to 5'10.

            I saw him at the Cotto/Margarito fight and he didn't look tall at all.

              As you get older, you get shorter.

                yeah he also got fat too, which more likely compressed his spinal cord, it's spinal, i broke my back.

                sorry, got off on a tangent there

                    he used to have the feet to be fleet footed which made him taller.
