    I hear so many different views on this. Some say he was 5'10, some say he was 5'11, then you see some tale of the tapes showing him at being from 5'10 - 5'11 1/2.

    Anyone know for positive?

    The lowest I ever saw him listed was 5'9" and the tallest was 5'11.5"
    Most likely he was about 5'10"

    He is 5'10

    From the mans own mouth

    He used to get listed as 5'11.5 and in one fight he was listed as 6', neither is true of course and the commentators pointed out he was only about 5'9/10.

    I don't think there would be much of a difference in Tyson's game if he was 5'9 or 5'11
