    Just wondering what is David Haye's actual height. On his website it states 6ft 3in but when squaring up to Audley Harrison he towers over him at 6ft 5in...

    Judging by that picture, if Audley's 6ft 5, then I'd say Haye's 6ft 1 (or 2).

    But it's difficult to say. Audley's shoes could be making him seem a little taller.

  7. Audley is probably wearing shoes with a heel.

    David Haye is probably standing on a lower platform to make Audley look taller. He made the same thing with Valuev, when he always referred to him as 7'2 to make his win bigger.
    That being said, I doubt that Haye is a full 6'3, maybe something like 6'2 1/2 but that's splitting hairs.

    when Wladimir was on Conan Obrien he said he was 6'5 and he also said Vitali was 6'6. And Wlad looked about the same height as Conan (6'5)

    6"3' seems about right. Haye's a smart business man who knows that hyping up your opponent in terms of size or strength generates attention so I agree with RonnieHornschuh.

    There's no point in promoting your upcoming fight as a bum-contest.

    Everything is exaggerated.

    - Pacquiao, Casamayor, Camacho, Marquez have all been listed as 5'5 but are now 5'6.5-5'7
    - Ray Leonard admitted he was only 5'9 even though he's been listed as 5'10.5"
    - Hopkins has been listed as 5'10, 5'11, or 6'0 with a 71" reach, now he's 6'1 with a 75" reach. He was listed with a 32" waist at middleweight, then had a 27" inch waist at light heavyweight.
    - Floyd Mayweather was 5'7 in the Olympic trials, then 5'6 in the actual Olympics.
    - In the amateurs, Shane Mosley was listed often as 5'7 and 5'10.
    - Erislandy Lara was 172 cm (5'7.7) in his first or second fight, I can't remember, and is now 5'10.
