    He looks exactly 5'11 to me, not taller or shorter, just that, which is quite short for a HW.

    It just enhances his achievements, I'd say.

    WTF 5'11 is concidered pretty tall, I am 5'11 and most women say I'm tall. If he was 5'5 that would be understandable but 5'11?

    i believe he's 5'10"...I've heard people say he's 5'7" before, which is laughable. i think he looks shorter than he is because most people now-a-days at 5'10" are between 147 and 168 pouds..sometimes even lightweights.

    he was built like a ****in tank

    I have a photo of him and me. I am 5'10" and fought WW, so I was around 147lbs. He is taller and was double my size in width. There was another guy in the photo who is 6'1" and Tyson was shorter than him.

    I have discussed this many times, and seen this discussed.

    I believe he was 5 10 1/2 . He was was never 5 11 and he was never 5 9.

    In 1991, a close friend of mine died in the stampede at the Rapper Sports event at City College. I went to the funeral and Mike Tyson and Don King showed up. I was standing RIGHT next to Iron Mike. I am 5' 11'' and Mike was definitely taller than me. Not by much, but taller. Also, the fact he carries 220+ pounds makes him look even larger.
