    Ive also met Oscar, and i am a solid 5ft 10 inches, he's about 5ft9 i would say. I've also met Khan, and he is not 5ft10 i will tell you now.

    Hamed was always listed taller than what he actually was.

    He was 5'3 and hes been listed as tall as 5'6 or 7.

    From boxers Ive met-

    Im 5'9 and Tyson is barely taller than I am, Cory Spinks is about 5'11, Eddie Chambers is a small guy, you would never think he was a heavyweight, Sam Peter is just a beast of a man.

    Williams is definitely taller than 6-1, Winky is listed as 5-10 and 1/2 and that might be a little off but Winky isnt that short, he is atleast 5-9 and Williams was towering over him.


    Margarito is pretty tall and listed as 5-11 and Williams is a good deal taller than him

    Vitali is listed at what 6-7 or 6-8 and there was that photoshoot with Lamar Odom who is supposed to be 6-10 and Vitali looks to be a legit 6-8ish cause he is right there.

    I know they list PW at 6'1 but i can assure you 1 thing that he is 6'3! I was at his last fight vs Martinez and when he walked by me he was a solid 3 inches taller!!

    When Mosely jumped in on Floyds interview he seemed to tower over Floyd.

    I noticed that too, but it might have been the street shoes VS boxing shoes.
