    I believe Tyson said he had a back/neck issue that shrunk him an inch.

    As for not suffering Spinal injuries.

    So seems to be a lot of people who believe the listed heights are all correct? Come on people!

    I'm taking all this stuff into account. The Holyfield/Hearns pic isn't great but it does tend to suggest they're about the same height.

    If you can find me some examples of Holyfield looking 6'2 1/2" against someone other than a fellow overlisted boxer I'd be much obliged :deal

    Holyfield was always listed as 6'1" during his early light heavyweight/cruiserweight career. Then when Holyfield jumped to heavyweight, he magically grew 1 1/2" and was listed as 6'2 1/2". I think there are even some earlier Olympic trial listings of Holyfield being 6'0 3/4"!

    this picture here. Hearns looks like 1/2 and inch taller than Hopkins. Leonard looks a bout an inch taller than Shane but 2 inches shorter than Hopkins.yes I know Leonard is closer to the camera.. Also in pictures I am wondering if Hagler shrunk a little from his prime.
