    Athletes in all sports often lie about their height so not to give their opponents too much information. I've seem Khan in person wearing trainers and he looks about 5"9.

    I would say he's taller than 5'8" but not 5'11", no way.

    People in general do overestimate their heights though...it's funny...

    I'm 6', with trainers on 6'1/2" and I'll round it up to 6'1". god knows why...it's just because everyone else does so instead of arguing they're shorter than they are I just overestimate my own height too I guess lol.

    I think most fighters are smaller than there listed. The only fighters I have heard of being taller are Wlad, Vitali and Paul Williams.

    He's taller than Floyd Mayweather.

    Amir Khan is 5"10.

    Also Calzaghe is bigger than 5"11, he was taller than Chris Eubank who was 5"11, also Hopkins wore massive trainers, during one of their press conferences, and was making a big deal of being taller than Calzaghe..? like a complete and utter wanker.

    Joe Calzaghe is 6ft.

    Bernard Hopkins is 6"1, Joe Calzaghe is 6ft.

    Hopkins was wearing moon trainers at the press conference and weigh in, and made a big deal about being taller than Calzaghe, even though he's got stumpy arms.
