    I call BS. If Wlad is 6'5" then Haye is 5'11". As a matter of fact, If Wlad is 6'5", then he's never fought anyone over 6'1".

    He actually said he's 6'5 in the evening and 6'6 in the morning. He obvioulsy plays it down a bit to.

    At least 6'6 clearly.

    Wlad probably measures himself without shoes on in the morning or something similar which would give you his real height many people get measured with their shoes on which is a bit deceptive.

    We are about half an inch taller in morning compared to evening as the intervertebray discs compress when we are up and about along with cartilage in the knees.

    Sometimes they measure me and tell me I'm 6'1" and sometimes they tell me I'm only 5'11". Beats me.

    He just downplays his height, because he gets criticized for being more big than good. The truth is, that dude is enormous.

    I don't see what the big deal is 6'5, 6'6, whatever.

    However, as long as we are discussing it, why not look at opponents Wladimir has fought and their listed heights.

    Wladimir and Tony Thompson (listed at 6'5)

    Wladimir and DaVarryl Williamson (listed at 6'4)

    Good comparison photos. He looks 6'7". Boxrec lists him as 6'6 1/2".

    The man himself said he's 6'5, so he's 6'5.

    We need to get CHEF to measure him though. :yep

    1 inch difference is "clear"?

    Based on all his opponents over the years, I think he's 6'6 1/2" or 6'7"

    These pictures don't mean anything. To judge we need head to toe as to see footware, posture etc.

    Like others have said 6'6, 6'5, whatever, he's still a big dude.

    Does it really matter? BoxRec is full of mistakes anyway.
