    I'm tall as Margarito.. all of a sudden I feel like a giant

    the mind is skewed by the height of these guys..

    I remember watching a fight and both of them were like 5'3" midgets and didn't realise intill the fight had ended and they had people around them

    Wikipedia uses a lot more reliable sources these days, you have to use reliable sources i.e not blogs or forums.

    During the Bradley fight they had him at 5'7.

    Pacquiao's head has grown at least an inch in all directions, so he's at least an inch taller than he used to be?

    I was 10 feet from Manny Pacquiao. I'm 5' 9" and I would have towered over him. I would seriously wager that he's 5' 4" or so. Height is power. In Hollywood, they'll have you believing every movie star is 6' 2" or 6' 4" when they're really 5' 10". In politics, politicians often stand on crates because a tall powerful man should lead a nation.

    Pac is 5' 4", 5' 5" MAX.

    Yup, as a general rule you should subtract 2-4 inches from any celebrity or even athlete's "listed" height.

    For example, both andre ward and nick cannon are listed as 6'0. But in the video they made together, nick cannon is clearly shorter.
