    I would say around 6' 3.23" with the short afro he sported early in his career, we will never know how tall he was with those dangerous dreadlocks because he never let anyone near his head with a measuring device.

    I can't tell if this is a joke. Why the hell would a boxer wear lifts in a fight?

    Yeah, that fight was crazy. Great entertainment. Wlad made it look so easy, gotta give him credit for the lack of a right the whole fight.

    Now, you have left yourself wide open to a countershot. Don't become a boxer; you will get badly hurt. Common knowledge and multiple guests have discussed Conan O'Briens unusual height. He is exactly 6'4" tall. Wlad as you well know towered over Conan by at least 2 or 3 inches and the massive size of Wlad over the suddenly scrawny looking Conan was incredible. Put up a You-tube video of that very funny interview and you will see as well as eveybody else just how much taller Wlad was than Conan. I've never seen Conan look that diminuative before.

    I have an advert at the top of my screen about shoes that can make me 4 inches taller.

    I blame this thread.

    I remember when Vlad fought Bostice who is 6 feet 5 inches tall. When they stood together the commentator said that Vlad looks to be, at least, two inches taller.

    Notice Vlad Vs. Derrick Jefferson, Jefferson was 6 feet 6 inches tall, Vlad was taller.

    Notice Austin, 6 foot 6 inches tall, Vlad was taller.

    Vlad was listed at olympics as 6 feet 7 inches tall. Klitschkos do not care how tall anyone says they are. Vitali was always listed at 6 feet 8 inches tall.

    It really does not matter, their size shows whenever they face their opponents. It's good to claim Klitschkos are short. LOL! Let their opponents believe that, it does not matter. Foreman would never say what his reach was.

    My point has been that American media always tries to say anything they can to make them look small, slow, etc., but they are not slow. Ask their opponents. Ask Tony Tubbs, who used to spar with Klitschkos years ago, he also used to advise them some. Ask Rich Giachetti when he was laughing at how slow Vitali was, until his fighter got into the ring that is. Same with everyone. Gomez is a fast fighter, but he did not bother Vitali.

    :happy:good:happyYears ago, before all the hate these two brothers were measured and accurately listed as Wlad-6'7" and Vitali-6'8'. It is so obvious when Wlad fights 6'6" fighters like Austin, Mcline, Jefferson and Thompson that they all look up at him. Are people that blind? Good grief, it's bad enough that they don't give him credit for his awesome ring achievements but to deny his height? Man that is beyond hate and bordering on the delusional.

    You are very correct.

    HBO listed Vlad at only 6 feet 5 when he fought Bostice. One picture showed that Vlad was, at least 2 inches taller than Bostice.

    It is the bias that makes me angry. They should treat Vitali and Vlad fairly. Can you believe that HBO did not even show Vitali Vs. Peter? Showtime took that fight. HBO regretted it.
