    Then Haye must be 6'1 or 6'2 at the very most as Wlad towers over him in the recent face to face shots. Haye is listed as 6'3 well Wlads listed as 6'6 or 6'7 and the differences between Hayes stats and Wlads seems about right ie 3-4 inches.

    Seems common that boxers tale of the tape stats are always wrong especially regarding height.

    That is quite likely Haye has an exaggerated height too.

    Looking at Wlad with Lewis, they both looked the same height, & there is no denying Lewis is a legit 6'5.

    Everyone that meets Haye says he's much shorter than 6 3, around 6 1.

    I've heard many times Mike Tyson was only around 5'9. My bro went to one of his tour shows were there's a meal and then a talk from Tyson and standing close to Tyson (my bro is 5.8) said Tyson was only a touch taller than him and defo shorter than me (5'11).

    I dont know why boxers stats are deliberatley exaggerated...its not necessary really is it?

    David Haye probably is only 6'2, but Klitschko has 4-5 inches on him, which makes him 6'6 or 6'7.

    If Wlad is only 6'5, how come he dwarfs every other 6'5 or 6'6 guy (Austin, McCline, Thompson etc.)? Besides that, I've stood next to him and he is at least 6'6.

    Wlad is not 6'5 i think he and his brother downplay thier heights or other boxer lie about thier heights. One of Wlads opponents lied about his height. Ray Austin claims to be 6'6 but compared to Wlad he was as tall as Tony Thompson who is 6'5.

    If Wlad says he's 6'5 and he stands pretty much level with Lennox Lewis I'd say he's 6'5. Its fairly well known now that boxers stats are false/exaggerated. :patsch

    Well if he's 6'2 then its just possible that the difference in the pic is only 3 inches...my guess is more like 6'1 and a 4" differential between him n Wlad.
