I go by knowing my exact height and the famous fighters that I've met and/or stood very close to, which is a long, long list. The fighters aren't walking around in platform shoes. 9 times out of 10 when I've seen them they were in sneakers or flip flops. A few of them in dress shoes. Marvin Hagler Thomas Hearns Ray Leonard Larry Holmes Lennox Lewis Ron Lyle Earnie Shavers Mickey Ward Mark Breland Alexis Arguello Mike Tyson Julio Cesar Chavez Sergio Martinez James Buddy McGirt Deontay Wilder Gerry Cooney Michael Moorer Vito Antuofermo Ray Mercer etc, etc, etc, etc.... The only one who didn't look as tall as he's listed is Deontay Wilder, who's listed at 6'7 or 6'8, but even then he was still obviously taller than 6'5.
This content is protected 6'6 Barkley and 6'5 Lennox. Barkley is so fat.. Lennox is fat too after he retired.. but he is getting fit again. Lennox is known to a lot of the NBA. Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant said their favorite boxer is not Mike Tyson but LENNOX Lewis...........
In normal shoes maybe Barkley is 6'6"; he looks about the same height as Lewis, who is probably the very accurate sounding 6'4 3/4" that he was listed at early in his career.
Wait...you thought Tyson was as tall as his 5'11 1/2 listing even though it's common knowledge he was never that tall?
At 3:14 : [yt]ttRrZZAwAZ0[/yt] Mugabi is at least an inch taller. Then against Duran, at 5:32 in the video below Hagler is listed as exactly 2 inches taller than Duran. But throughout the fight they look the same height. [yt]vh0ZyUZg3ug[/yt] I would defintely say Hagler is below 5'8. This content is protected
From that picture there could be less than an inch between them. Antuofermo is often listed as 5'7. Hagler could be 5'7 3/4 on a good day. Hagler is listed as 5'9 1/2.
