    Already edited it, when i found it it was resized i did not realise how huge it was.
    Found a more apropriate one the moment i realised it.

    My bad!

    2 inches in height is something that is only barely noticable bro, Vitali is possibly 2 inches taller than Wlad, possibly 1, it's that hard to tell, with Haye and Wlad there is a clear 4 or so inch difference

    There is a rule of thumb that from your forehead to the top of your head there will usually be 4.5 inches difference, perhaps more if you have a huge head like Wlad, measure it youself now, stick a ruler on your brow, and see how far it is to the top of your head

    Take a look at this pic of Ray Stevenson (6'4) and Kevin McKidd (6)

    That is a 4 inch difference and it's about the same as what's between Wlad/Haye

    I posted it before the Wlad fight but I met Haye bout 4 years ago. I'm 6'4 and he was well short of me.

    Yup I've met him / trained in his gym and he's about 6'1 (personal accounts count for little though so I never bring it up if it looks like making it up would suit me!)

    Besides, Wlad is taller than Lennox, who I would find it difficult to accept an argument for being anything other than 6'5 - so Wlad himself can't be 6'5.

    if povetkin is 6'1 he has no chance of winning
    if he is 6'2 he chances grow 30%

    I've seen him at the weigh-in in Berlin and I would say, he is a legit 6'2. I've also stood next to Wlad and he is definitely taller than 6'5.

    Yeah it is :lol:

    Even with the whole 'lewistko6' thing, they seem to all have a good relationship

    Ive seen Vitali quoted as 6'8 in places and Wlad as 6'6

    Would surprise me, Vitali had a couple of inches easily on Lewis. Who was a solid 6'5
