    Agreed besides most people exxagerate the **** out of their own heights.

    BTW Dwight is 6'9 and a hair over 6'10 in shoes so yea Wlad is around 6'5. It's kinda annoying how guys in the US and Canada always add at least an inch or two to their own heights which makes them overestimate everyone else lol

    Note that Lamar is wearing BB shoes so the soul is thicker i'd assume.

    Look at their necks, forearms, and legs.

    I'm just over 6'3 and I live in the UK and every time I'm out clubing I see people who are taller than me. The person who wrote this is obviosly just a kid. Football and Rugby are more popular than boxing here and Rugby is a big mans game. Third world countries have smaller people because they don't get as much food. Being a great boxer is not all about size either.

    Unless we are talking basketball it is rare to have the words "only" and 6'5" in the same sentance.

    From left to right with their listed heights: Dwight Howard 6-11; Chris Bosh 6-11; Tayshaun Prince 6-9; Carlos Boozer 6-9; LeBron James 6-8; Carmelo Anthony 6-8; Kobe Bryant 6-6;

    Howard would be an inch or so taller if he didn't have such a tiny head. His shoulders are higher than Bosh's, but not the top of his head.

    from their web-site:

    Wlad: 198 cm = 6' 5.953"
    Vitali: 200 cm = 6' 6.74"

    so Wlad is 6' 6"
