    Boxrec and some other sites state him to be 6'1". But if you go by his recent pics, he appears 2-3 inches taller.

    This is him facing off with Bernard Hopkins, who incidentally is also 6'1" according to almost all boxing sites:

    He was wearing high heels at the press conference so he's actually 5'8

    Hopkins isn't 6"1 he gets rounded up to 6"1. He was often quoted as 6 feet and a quarter inch early on during his career. So unless he has somehow grown taller they are rounding up his height.

    Boxrec doesn't always post accurate heights. I think they only list Williams as 6'1. I always thought Chad was about 6'2 or 6'3

    I met Dawson in Vegas he is clearly 6'2 and above, most likely 6'3 I always thought he would move up in weight due to his size and reach.

    Dawson had a slight height advantage over Tarver who is listed at 6'2" so probably 6'3"

    Dawson is 6`3", photos of his face off against B-Hop, Tarver and Adamek confirm it.

    Reportedly, he also posses a 82" wingspan.

    A couple of years back boxrec had it right, don`t know why they changed it.

    depends on each guys shoes...hopkins might have something on with no sole, like a thin flip flop...and dawson could have giant basletball shoes on that give you 2 inches..

    I always thought that Roy was about 5'10, and Dawson is definitely about 6'3 or up. I remember looking at him walking in the ring against Diaconu, he looked like a giant compared to everyone else. I also think people sometimes messes up Froch's height. Taylor is listed at 6'1 in most places and Froch was clearly taller in the ring.
