    Check Vlad Vs. Bostice, who is 6 feet 5, Vlad is, at least 2 inches or more taller. Check Vlad next to the 6 foot 6 inch Austin, Derrick Jefferson, Thompson, etc., he is taller than they. When I saw Vlad win the gold medal in Atlanta, GA he was 6 feet 7 inches. Vitali has always been 6 feet 8 inches.

    It's easy to tell that Wlad is well over 6foot 5. Conan O'Brien is exactly 6foot 4 and on that show Wlad and he stood on set talking to each other before moving to the desk and couch. Wlad towered over Conan by at least two inches; closer to three by my estimate. Conan looked like a shrimp beside Wlad. I hope that 6foot 5 crap ends. He was taller than Austin who's listed at 6foot 6. Wlad is a giant of a man who happens to be very well-coordinated and athletic.

    Height can vary by about an inch during a single day. He's tall, wether he's 6'5 or 6'6 doesn't make that much of a difference.

    Wlad would KO Howard with a jab, so who cares about height.

    This.

    Also as I said in the other thread, Haye isn't 6'3 barefoot. (Main evidence for this being he looks to be 2 inches shorter than Rio Ferdinand (maximum 6'3), and also more than 2 inches shorter than legitimately 6'5 Lewis)

    As for the brothers heights, I had always pegged them at around 6'5.5 and 6'7

    6'7 seems correct for Vitali considering his fight with Lennox Lewis, he was no more than 2 inches taller, perhaps 1.5

    Edit found a pic

    Yup I'd agree...with myself. Lennox 6'5. Wlad 6'6, Vitali 6'7

    Also again means, Haye is not 6'3.

    Haye wearing trainers, looking 4 inches shorter than Lewis in dress shoes, and 5-6 inches shorter than 6'6 Harrison?

    So given Wlads statement, its possible hs is 6'5.5 and just says 6'5.

    I'm going to make a very important contribution to this enthralling argument about whether Wlad is 6'5" or 6'6":

    Who the **** cares?

    These are the true stats it was in ring mag Wlad is right under 6'7 and Vitali is at 6'8 and that is the truth they are big men

    Yes, Wlad has been face to face with a few 6 foot 5 fighters and he's noticably taller than every one of them.

    I think he's about 6 foot 6.5 or so.
