Wlad Klitschko real height?

Also, I actually thought before this press conference that it wouldnt surpise me along with all their other gamesmanship that Wlad may have worn lifts to reduce the height difference.

Mike Tyson used to wear lifts in fights.

Wlad is 6'6.5
Look at him next to Vitali or Wach, or Thompson.

Wlad is starting to look like a Soviet bad guy in a James Bond movie.

Professional athletes are notorious for having BS height and weight. The NFL is really the only legit measurement because they have a strict process so it's not inflated. I've started to question many heights recently in boxing though.

For example, Pacquiao listed at 5'6 forever, then he is 5'5.5 for the Mayweather fight. Paul Williams listed at 6'1 which was total garbage. The guy was literally a head taller than anyone he fought. But it makes sense because it will make the other fighters more willing to take the fight.

I know at HW there really isn't too much incentive because it's unlimited, but is Klitschko really 6'6? That is a huge man but it seems that even when he fights a guy 6'3 he is so much bigger. Standing next to Fury who is 6'9 he doesn't look 3 inches shorter.

Is this a tactic, is he really 6'6, or is it more so other boxers inflating height?
