Its proof he is gay Men get shorter with age, means nothing, guys who are tall at 21 can be midgets at 50. You rarely see any tall people in a retirement home. Ali isn't even over 6'0 the last time I seen him.
I've met Holyfield as well, we were both in similar dress shoes. At a weak 6'2" I was taller than him. I recall it very well because I was a bit surprised by his actual size, was expecting him to be taller, low set shoulders and massive head though gives him that appearance. He could have shrunk with age as well, this was maybe 5 years ago. Now Ali's posture isn't the best these days but obvious to me he could have been 6'2"-6.3+" if he could stand up straight. Norton and Foreman are tall as well. Lennox Lewis is also about his listed 6'4-6'5.
I met Tyson twice in his prime. He's 5-10 at best but built like few humans. I thought I was thick in stature, that dude was dimensionally all wrong. Met Ali in 92, then in 99. He was definitely much feebler the second time around but I remember the first. He seemed an easy 6-2 or 6-3 with great stature. He was a very big man, even for his height.
ali was taller than 6´2, he was a big man, i am 6´1, i have tons of friends 6´2 and ali is bigger and taller, he was 6´3 for sure. the people think that ali was a long,fragile skinny but fast boxer... ali was strong like hell and he was a big man
I met Ali many times he was a big man but as far as height I would bet about 6'2, he was about the same height as my brother although both had on shoes and my brother is slightly over 6"1.5 so in reflection Ali was about 6"2 Frazier was short but impressively freaky, he was retired and bigger shoulders neck and head but Freaky wide next to Ali and Larry Homes (who was closer to 6"3 but not as square shouldered as Ali, Holmes had more of a bowling pin built but taller
Holmes in his prime looked sort of fragile and thin. He always had a soft, almost flabby-like appearance even when his weight was low. A guy like Foreman could gain weight and look solid; Holmes would gain weight and just look flabby. Frazier, although being much shorter than the two, carried his weight rather well.
No you were caught in a obvious lie, Ali was still a 11 year old child when you claim to have met him :nut :good He was shorter because he was 11 years old, but you never met him liar.
Holyfield must have magically grew as soon as he moved up to the heavyweight ranks, because prior to fighting as a heavyweight, Holyfield was always listed as being 6'1".
It's weird how some of these heights are inflated and some are deflated. IMO: Ali: 6'2 1/2 ----------- I've seen him listed at 6'2 and 6'3 Foreman: 6/3 1/2 ---------- I've seen him listed at 6/3 1/2 and 6'4 Lennox: 6/4 1/2 ----------- I've seen him listed at 6'4 and 6'5 Holy: 6/2 1/2 --------------- I've seen him listed as 6'2 and 6'2 1/2. Wlad: 6/6 3/4 -------------- I've seen him listed as 6'5 (his own omission as well), 6'6 (usually), 6'6 1/2 (on his website) and 6'7. Vitali: 6'8 ------------------ I've seen him listed as 6'7 and 6'7 1/2.
Muhammad Ali - 6' 3 ½'' Jack Dempsey - 6' 0 ½'' Rocky Marciano - 5' 10 ½'' Mike Tyson - 5' 10'' Joe Frazier - 5' 11 ½''
