    Adamek is a solid 6`2".

    For those who still didn`t get it, Haye is all about hyping his fights and achievements, he intentionally set it up to look like Audley had a huge advantage over him, hidden platform shoes, thin sole for him, a little hunching back at the time of the face off photo shooting, then you see that big difference, was the same in the Wlad fight, but he is legit 6`3", check Macca, Monte and Ruiz face off pictures for certainty.

    Arreola is no more than 6'2, 6'2 1/2 tops. Sometimes he's wrongly listed as 6'4. Adamek is around 6'1 1/2, though he may have grown a bit more in his 30s :)huh).

    All this is visible in the photos on the 1st page.

    This is true - the actual difference between Haye and Harrison looked a lot less on fight night. In fact I believe in that face off picture posted Haye wasn't wearing shoes. I've met Haye and he is at least 6' 2.5".

    Against Grant the size difference looked bigger in the fight than it does in that picture and I think it will against Vitali, he probably just wears lifts at press conferences.

    Depends on the shoes worn. Many heights are rounded, so someone who is 6'3.25 may be bumped up to 6'4. Some also take heights with shoes on as well, which can change the height by over an inch. So there is about a 2 inch gray area when talking about heights.

    So if Arreola is 6'2.5 barefoot, and 6'3.5 in shoes, he may be listed at 6'4. Adamek may be 6'2 barefoot, and about 6'3ish in shoes, but he is listed at his barefoot height of 6'2.

    And for what it's worth, when I saw Sam Peters training for the Toney rematch, he didn't look 6'2'', just like a kind of fat guy somewhere near 6'. Ruiz seemed much bigger than him in person, and Jameel McCline was ENORMOUS. Whatever he's listed as is the truth, he blots out the sun.

    According to websides Dawson is 6"1".. Looks more like 6"2" though..
    Boxrec has stated Wlad as 6"6 1/2" or something, but he said himself that he is 6"5, his brothers is a little taller, probably 6"6".. I believe Adamek is 6"2" or 6"2 1/2"..
    We have discussed these heights issues before.. Everything points to that official heights and reaches is made up..

    Adamek is 6'3 1/2 ... all the rumor he is small for HW is just a cover
    to set up his opponents and give them real surprise in the ring.

    The other rumor is Agamek has no power at HW, that is a lie also and
    a set up to get the big and presumably 'safe' fight for either champion.

    Adamek is one tall knocking out/wrecking machine ... beware!

    I never believed Peter was 6'2. Always looked shorter to me.

    I have been blessed to have stood next to pretty much every heavyweight on the planet.

    And the only 3 who were actually bigger than I expected were Lennox and the Klits.
