    AMAZING attention to trivial details all! As an Asperger's like child who loves details, i approve.

    Now let us get on to the metaphysical level after parsing exactly what height is acceptable, because even IF we know a True height in a Man's Prime, that will vary by time of day thus we must have a standard tiny adjustment for all, like a "adjusted mean time" of 10 AM or something.

    YEs, yes, height fluctuates throughout the day. Right out of bed in the morning, I am right at 5'10". But by mid-afternoon, I am generally 5'9 1/2".

    So, I can get by saying I am 5'9" or 5'10".

    I was watching Holmes vs Rodney Bobick, Ken Norton who is doing the colour commentary tells Don Dumphy that he is 6'3"!

    Muhammad Ali was 10 feet tall in many ways.

    Liston is listed as 6'1 but was said to 6 even. Looking at pictures I put Ali at 6'2".
