    He's 6"3 when he stands on his wallet.

    Around 6" or 6" 1 or 2. I'd imagine he'd walk about at around 200lbs. He is a natural cruiserweight which you have to give him credit for stepping up to fight these superheavyweights.

    He seemed pretty comfortable at heavyweight. But so are a lot of people at 6''1, that's not a bad height for a heavyweight.

    I think as long as you have the skills it shouldn't matter, that's why size was irrelevant against Valuev.

    Probably a shade under. Audleys probably wearing shoes in that pic which can add serious height. Audleys closer to 6'6 not 6'4.

    I actually think Audley, for all his other flaws, is one of the few boxers who may be taller than he lists, he always looks a lot taller than he should against his opponents.

    That said, David Haye is 6'1.5 or 6'2 max. He exaggerates more than normal (I'd say most boxers add .5 to 1 inch)

    A friend of mine seen him abroad said he looked more like 6,1, come to think of it Chisora is listed as 6,1 & Haye looked the same height in all their head to heads, even though there was a fence in between them lol.

    My brother got a photo with him in a tube station, he says I'm slightly taller and I'm exactly 6'2.

    Met him a few months ago when he visited our gym. I wasn't really his biggest fan before then but was surprised to see he was bigger than i'd imagined (both taller and broadness). He basically filled out the corridor when he walked down it. Big lump.

    He's actually only 5'9" but he uses the same guy as Tom Cruise to build his soles up and make him look taller. I actually know the guy who does them. He says David is always great and a real gent to work with, but Tom Cruise is an A-hole.
