    Does it matter that much? Most males on this planet probably give themselves an inch or so extra on their height. I spoke to a guy recently who claimed 6'4" and was only 2" or so taller than me which would put him at 6'2" ... Men do this all the time just like women lie about their weight

    He's not 6'9", at most he's 6'8", I agree with that.

    And just saw the comment on David Haye. He's an obvious fraudster ... He's la bit over 6'1" in reality not 6'3" ... He is about the same height as 6'1" Chisora

    Well, no problem with your opinion and honest take.

    But i think more and more this page makes anyone smaller. Look the page for Dolph "Ivan Drago" Lundgren:

    https://www.celebheights.com/s/Dolph-Lundgren-22.html

    They say he was in his prime 6´4.25´´(193.7cm). Stallone is not a competitive fighter at all, he has no reason to fool with his height, and he is officially 5´9.75´´(177cm).
    Look here the two together:
    https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a2/12/d3/a212d34c9121eec926719a1d178a25a9.jpg

    Lundgren was listed as Karate fighter in the late 70s under his real name Hans:D Lundgren as 6´5´´(196cm), exactly the same size as Lennox, and this could be true.
    Dolph was never just 6´4.25´´(193cm), maybe he is today thats possible.


    Only my honest take. This site seems to make anyone smaller by comparing foto´s where all people are wearing shoes.

    Look Wlad and Fury in the ring or Fury with Wallin and Schwarz.
    Here you can compare it easy since all have the same shoes.
    If Wlad is 6´6´´ and Wallin+Schwarz are both 6´5.5´´, then its easy to see Fury is around 6´8´´. He is not 6´9´´ but basically exactly the same size as Braun Strowman, who is exactly 6´8´´.

    Celebheight has Joshua as 6'5.75" Rob is great at estimating height. And we know WK is a bit shorter with both of them in flat Boxing shoes. WK also used to take his lifts to pressconferences.

    Age changes height.

    Camera angles. Shoes. Lifts. Natural posture vs straight. Morning vs evening height etc etc.

    Wlad's 6'5.25" Fury around 6'7.5.

    Wallin could be 6'4.5" compare him with Joshua both with flat Boxing shoes. Great Google image easy to find.

    1. Athletes are usually measured with their shoes on.
    2. I don't see how it's a big deal whether he's 6'8" or 6'9", or even... 6'7.5". They typically say you gain ~0.5" after lying down for a while -- Fury could easily lose/gain ~1".

    Whether 6'7" 6'8" 6'9" fact is they are big ol units and will take some stopping, a difference of a inch or two in height isn't going to change your approach to try and beat Heavyweights of that height

    You could try and make Jack Dempseys quote come true “Tall men come down to my height when I hit 'em in the body.”
