    I don´t think I have read that Iggy was higher than 6`1 anywhere.

    Can't see their feet in that pic, maybe Holyfield stands on something.
    Because if he isn't then Ibragimov is 5'11 and i don't think he would be 220lb with that build and height.

    Most fighters lie about there hieght, usually a inch or 2. Iggy looks closer to 6'0, he is a small heavywieght.

    I am sorry, Chief Second, completely and ultimately irrelevant from what is expected to be seriously taken account of to the up-coming fight but having said that, I side with you for the issue on disparity of body measurements such as height and reach concerning the same fighter in different fights.
