How tall is Lennox Lewis

Lennox Lewis Height

6ft 4 ¾ (194.9 cm)

Former British Heavyweight Boxer. On his official site, the 'tale of the tape' has him at 6ft 5, 84 inch reach and on twitter said "I'm 6-5" although in mid 90's he was reported in newspapers at precisely 6ft 4.75 and 6ft 4.5. In 2004 though in a sports illustrated Q&A talking about Collegiate days: "Then, seeing 6-foot-8 guys as guards, well, I'm 6-foot-3 and I'm a power forward".

Physically, post-modern heavyweights have broken the mold from the days that 6-foot champions ruled the roost. In today’s world, even my 6ft 5ins frame is on the shorter side of the top guys.

Rob, How tall do you think Riddick Bowe was? He was listed as 6'5 and i think he looked quite close to that mark. Maybe 6'4.5 range.
Editor Rob
Could clear 6ft 4, maybe 4.5 is a good shout.

As for Lewis, he still looks very tall - With Bruno
181cmguy said on 30/Aug/23
@Rob,

Oh, ok, I agree on Barkley being the tallest, but I actually think Lewis would have a better chance of measuring closer to 6'5 than Jordan. Ofc I can't tell such small differences, Lewis just gives me a taller impression than Jordan, maybe because he's bigger too, and in the ring he didn't often meet guys taller than him, unlike Jordan on the basketball court.

I have both at 6'4 and 1/2. Barkley I have in the 5/8 to 3/4 range.
181cmguy said on 29/Aug/23
@Rob, how would you rank these three guys: Charles Barkley, Lennox Lewis and Michael Jordan?

Tallest to shortest.
Editor Rob
I would be tempted to go with Charles, Jordan, Lewis, but we are talking very similar range for these guys.

Asid said on 16/Aug/22
6’4
Canson said on 21/Jun/22
He does have a 6’4.75 measurement on record. But it’s possible that 6’4.5 was his peak afternoon height
Asid said on 19/Jun/22
6’4.5 at best. Rob downgrade to 6’4.5” no where near 6’5”
IceCold said on 13/Apr/22
Lennox looks like he could be MJ's height twin brother
Johno said on 22/Sep/21
As listed. 6'4.5 the lowest.
Canson said on 9/Sep/21
if anything 6’4.5 is his low. He looked too tall in his prime to be 6’4”but he did measure 6’4.75 and 6’4.5 likelier that the 6’4.5 that Duhon said is his low. He looked similar to Barkley. But it’s not hard to measure 6’4.75 earlier in the day maybe even just a couple hours or three hours out of bed and to still be somewhere around 194.5
Duhon said on 15/Jul/21
He was listed at 6'4.5" in his match against Tony Tucker Click Here
Editor Rob
he's had 6ft 4.75, 4.5 and 5, I think it's likely 4.5-4.75 rather than a full 6ft 5
Canson said on 9/May/21
@Mickie: that’s tough. Maybe Lewis but not sure he was really 6’4.75 afternoon. They may be the same
Mickie said on 8/May/21
I wonder who would have the mm edge at their tallest, Lenox or Michael Jordan? Surely they'd be super close.
Canson said on 10/Apr/21
@Stuart Marsh: he only measured 6’4.75”.
OriginalAnon said on 17/Feb/21
Vitali is a genuine 200cm guy and he looks 2 inches taller than Lewis, or thereabouts. Lewis was definitely close to 6'5''. I think Rob probably has all of these heights bang on. Lewis, both Klitschkos. I think Vitali could, or could have, reached 201cm.
Canson said on 16/Feb/21
@Editor Rob: the 6’4.5 that Russell Ash just showed may be the more accurate one as maybe it’s an afternoon measurement
Tall In The Saddle said on 16/Feb/21
@Russell Ash

Good point. A 23 yo Lennox of course was also listed at 6’4 1/2” when he fought Riddick Bowe in the 88 Olympic final. Bowe was listed the same but Lewis appeared a bit taller IMO.
Canson said on 15/Feb/21
6’4.5 may be at a different time of the day

Canson said on 11/Oct/20
@Reece: it’s possible Lewis has lost height today. A peak Lewis I can agree with this listing here. Worst case maybe he fell to 6’4.5 like Barkley
Reece said on 2/Oct/20
@Robbe

Agree. Vitali probably looks more than 2 inches over Lennox but it is not a good example anyways as they are not side to side.
Robbe said on 28/Sep/20
Easy 195cm Click Here

Vitali is max 2in taller than Lennox. George Foreman is nowadays barely taller than Evander Holyfield. Click Here
Pierre said on 5/Sep/20
Click Here = look at this interview since 10:36 = The interviewer has to looking up to talk to Mike so Mike is logically easily taller than him and Lennox Lewis max is just a bit more than a forehead taller than the interviewer during the interview....

@Christian: yea it could be 5. The 6’2 3/8” holds up well with Lennox Lewis

A 6'4 to 6'5" Guy claiming 6'3? That Doesn't happen often. Weird.
A.Lawrence said on 17/Dec/19
I think hes a at least 6'5" I always did think arpund 6'5 1/2 and even now I think at least 6'5". If u see him standing next to Shannon Briggs and Andre Galotta who are both 6'4" hes at least an inch above then during the fighta Briggs was slouched so I didnt compare but against Galotta before, during and after the fight he was noticabely taller so I stick with 6'5" and a half.

I met Lennox twice in the 1990s, I am 188cm/6’2 and had definitely had 3 inches on me, 6’5 no less in my opinion.

@Jordan87 I noticed you during this a lot. You just put up numbers that you want to believe. Here is a better picture of Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield. Click Here

Here is a picture of Foreman and Holyfield Click Here

Here is Ali next to Ken Norton Click Here

Here is Foreman next to the 6'2 3'4 measured Ken Norton Click Here

Lennox Lewis was between 6'4 1/2 but shorter than 6'5. Foreman was around 6'3 or slightly taller in his prime.

Larry Holmes was 6'3.

Riddick Bowe was around 6'4 1/2 in his prime. He looked like he lost a lot of height over the years.

@ Boxing fan 07 ,

And he only looked 3" on 6'1" PROVEN Holyfield. VItali's height is not secured yet.
Boxing fan 07 said on 18/Jun/19
A weak 6’5” or 6’4 .75

He only looked 1.25 shorter than Vitali
Jordan87 said on 10/Jun/19
Putting an End to this madness right now.

Lewis was once listed at 6'4" and honestly Evander was not ever over 6'1 in his prime ( This site proves that) we all know that. Lewis never had more than 3" on Holyfield in pictures. Lewis is 100 percent not taller than 6'4".

Lennox Lewis: 6'4"
Foreman: 6'2.5"
Holyfield" 6'1"
Tyson: 5'10
Bowe: 6'3"
Buster Douglas: 6'2.75"
Ali- 6'2"
Liston- 6'0 ( He was a soliud 2" shorter than Ali)
Frazier- 5'10"
Joe Loius: 6'0.5" ( Measured at 6'1" on Camera once with thin Boxing Shoes on
Doentay Wilder- ( 6'6"- Shorert than Mello)
Joshua- 6'5 ( No taller than that with Rob Here on this site)

I think anyone who says that Lewis is under 6 foot 4 is nothing but an imbecile .

Lewis was 6 foot 5 at age 25 . Today he is at least 6'4.5" .
Canson said on 23/Dec/18
@Jordan87: Lewis looks the same as Riddick Bowe and Charles Barkley. I’ve seen Bowe before in person. He’s a weak 6’5” maximum but could be 6’4.5 as well
Jordan87 said on 19/Dec/18
We Know Holyfield was a solid 6'1 guy in his prime. Lewis looks at least around 2" taller. 6'3 always seems a bit too short for me but in his fight with Tyson he did not have Tyson by no 6". No Way. Lewis I think would be 6'4 on a good day, not taller. Wilder is 6'6.5" Tops and looks taller than Mr. Lewis by more than 2" alot of the time.

Rob, how tall does Mikey Garcia look with Lennox?
Editor Rob
He can look 169-70cm range just that moment...although comparing head sizes, Lennox looks at least 2 inches longer (maybe slightly nearer and tilting down a bit lengthened it to 11 inches).

@Myself: kiwi may be 193.2 or something most of the day. He doesn’t lose a lot as is. I lose 1.9cm on average sometimes 1.8-2. If he’s only 193 at a low from 194.5 then most of the day for him would be about 193.2 or 193.3. You don’t lose virtually anything after about 7-8 hours of being awake on a normal day. If anything maybe a couple more mm.
Myself said on 22/Jun/18
@Kiwi Bloke
You can't be 193.5 for most of the day if you wake up at 194.5...I wake up at 194.3 and am between 192 and 192.7 for most of the day, depending on the activity.
Canson said on 19/Jun/18
Peak 6’5.25-.5
6’4.5-.75 before bed
Same height as Barkley maybe 1/8” taller best case
Kiwi Bloke said on 17/Jun/18
194.5cm / 6'4.6 out of bed
193.5 / 6'4.25ish for most of the day
193 / 6'4 flat at night / before bed

today : 195 cm = morning , 194 cm = evening
in his prime : 6 foot 5 , 250 pounds , 7 foot wing span

Canson said on 15/Aug/17
Same height as Barkley or only a tiny fraction shorter if he is. I'd say 6'4.5 for both or 6'4.5 for him 6'4 5/8 for Barkley like he was measured at the olympics
CreepX said on 12/Aug/17
At 25 years of age, he was labeled as 6'4"1/2

Peak 6'4 1/2 at his lowest easy 6'5+ out of bed very similar in height to Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan
even said on 25/Jul/17
peak = 6'4.75" , current = 6'4.5" .
Canson said on 17/Jul/17
@Reece: how do you know Vitali is 6'7-6'7.5? He only said he's 6'7" for all we know that could be a morning height or it could be his lowest or somewhere in between. I agree he's closer to 6'7" but he looks as if he's maybe 4cm over Wlad around 6'6.75
even said on 5/Jul/17
195 cm tall
Reece said on 4/Jul/17
He could pull of looking 6-5 at peak. I think he would be mor 195 or 194 nowadays though. Matched up well with Vitali Kiltschko who is 6-7/6-7.5
Canson said on 3/Jul/17
Agree with Joe. And I honestly believe at his lowest he has always been tops 6'4.5. The 6'4.75 is likely an earlier measurement as he has never looked a full 6'5" with other boxers
joe### said on 30/Jun/17
6´4.5 nowadays
hotrod 305 said on 28/Jun/17
I met him in miami at the post office no one was there and I spoke with him for about 30 mins... very nice guy and Im 6 ft and I was expecting a huge guy from watcihng him on tv as a kid, and to be honest he was barely taller than me, he was in flip flops and he was at best id say 6'1" - 6'2"... when i first saw him i wasnt sure if it was him because I thought he would have been a giant next to me but he was not... so these reported heights have to be off a bit.. peace
even said on 27/Jun/17
6 5 in his prime but now its more like 6 4.5 to 6 4.75

But heavier in later carrier because of body fat?

yes, a bit of extra fat, not much, but enough to push him over 255 pounds at one point.

His prime weight rob?
Editor Rob
240-250 range, although I'm sure he's been a bit heavier later in career.
Ollie said on 5/Apr/17
Holyfield was measured at 6-2.5 but probably in boxing shoes. Holyfield looked a easy 6-2 to me at peak and Lennox was like 3 inches so 6-5 at peak. he looks shorter than that nowdays to me. 6-4.5 still i would say at the least still.
Reece said on 30/Mar/17
Lennox Lewis can look a bit shorter nowdays to me. i think Lennox Lewis was a legit 6-5 but look a bit smaller like 6-4.5 nowdays.
James B said on 27/Mar/17
Could be 6'4.5 now rob given he is 51
Editor Rob
maybe, some guys reach that range without anything lost, others have already began shrinking.

Canson said on 5/Mar/17
Nick they are not the same height. Joshua is minimum 2cm and that's as low as I would go taller. probably really more like 2.5 cm or 3. I wouldn't put Lewis below maybe 6'4.25 possibly a full 6'4.5. He looks as if he'd be my height I'm the same range of 6'4.25-.5 at night
Canson said on 4/Mar/17
Agree with 184guy. 6'4.5 is as low as I'd put him as he is Barkley's height (Barkley measured 6'4 5/8 at the olympics). They're identical as is Barkley with willie mcginist
Mark D. said on 9/Jan/17
Two inches shorter than 6'7" Vitali Klitschko in their fight. I'd say 6'5".

Just saw the BBC sports website showing the clip of the 'sports personality of the year' awards etc and there was one with Andy Murray and Lennox Lewis. I only came here to check their heights as Murray looked far smaller then Lennox...I'm surprised to see the difference isn't all that great in reality. I wonder what boots Lennox was wearing.

Holyfield is 6'1, No Taller. Lewis has him by 3 inches tops. Lewis is 6'4 on a Good Day. Lewis was shorter then 6'5 Anthony Joshua ( Check this Site) but a Solid Inch, likely more.
Canson said on 3/Feb/16
Looks the exact same height as Charles Barkley. He also was measured and claimed 6'4.5 and 3/4. So 6'4 1/2-3/4 same range Rob is close enough!
movieguy said on 18/Aug/15
Looks much bigger than Holyfield in that photo. I think 6'4'' to 6'5'' is probable. How Holyfield more or less held his own with these big guys is beyond me.

No emil,
he looked clearly 17-18 cm taller than tyson.
he towered on tyson, a big difference between the two.
tyson is 176-177 cm. Lewis is 193-194cm.
(tyson 5'9.5" - lewis 6'4" or 6'4.5")
Everybody knows that tyson was overestimated for all his career, listed a fake 5'11". He was at least an inch, an inch and half shorter. For sure.
Ice said on 27/Apr/13
6'3 is underestimated
Emil said on 27/Apr/13
He didn't look 17 cm taller than Tyson.
alan brisco said on 25/Apr/13
Lennox had a real heavyweight bodyframe. The best heavyweight of the last 20 years. Lewis peak was in the 6'4" range(193-194cm). 6'3" is a little bit underestimated, just like 6'5" a little bit overestimated.
And yes revious83, the overestimated haye is max 6'1". For sure.
James said on 3/Feb/13
Rob do you know what time of day he was measured 195cm? He looked more like a flat 6'4 when he appeared on Johnathan Ross in 2005. Certainly he did not look as big as Vince Vaughn or Husain bolt did next too ross.

I think he generally looks nearly 6ft 5, but I don't know the time of any measurement

Ace says on 2/Aug/12
Lewis never really looked under 6'5 in his boxing career. Oddly enough however he was listed as 6'4 during his amateur career, but truthfully i highly doubt he is a flat 6'4. He was 4 inches taller than 6'2 listed (but probably closer to 6'1) tommy morrison, only an inch shorter than 6'7 listed michael grant, and only about 2 inches shorter than Vitali Klitschko.

Lewis never really looked under 6'5 in his boxing career. Oddly enough however he was listed as 6'4 during his amateur career, but truthfully i highly doubt he is a flat 6'4. He was 4 inches taller than 6'2 listed (but probably closer to 6'1) tommy morrison, only an inch shorter than 6'7 listed michael grant, and only about 2 inches shorter than Vitali Klitschko.

Lennox Lewis was ecactly the same height as Eddie Cotton in 2002 when he fought Tyson, who said he is big at 6 foot 5. He looked the same as 6-5 Tucker. He is very tall, but i think not more as 6-5. 6 foot 5 sounds right!

charles barkley has claimed 6'5 1/2 in the past truthman, but i think he is just 6'5 though and 6'6 in shoes just like kobe, basketball shoes usually don't add more than a inch

Basletball shoes usally add good 1.5 inches because of thick insole (cushioning insole) and thick outsole. In shoes Barkley 198cm and barefoot 195cm exactly

Just for the record, I met Lennox Lewis in person at my local supermarket (ASDA ,Southgate, North London) when I was 16 years old. He is definately not 6'3" and I gave him about 1.5" more than me, so I think 195cm is pretty bang on for Lennox.
Truthman said on 17/May/11
Stop this b.s. He is not strong 6'5, he is exactly 195cm tall, because he is same height as Charles Barkley who is 195cm too (could somebody post this photo again?).

Lewis's musculature certainly underwent a remarkable transformation after his late twenties. It is possible he gained a little height in 'the process' (Evander Holyfield did).

Heres dsvid haye with oscar dela hoya. Dela hoya claims 5'11 but on this site he is listed as 5'9 and with alot of posters believing he is 5'8. So 5'8-5'9 is his height range and haye usually has 4 inches on him but haye is usually standing fully erect and dela hoya always has his head down. Footwear isn't visible either.

6'1 max for haye, although i cnt really pin his height down. Amir khan is shorter then dela hoya by an inch or so. 5'7.5 is the max height i would put amir at or 5'7 more rather otherwise, you might as well upgrade dela hoya to 5'10.5+ I dnt believe dela hoya is this tall and i believe amir was more then amir, 5.5 inches, David cameron is 6'0.5

Again, heres haye with the less then 6'1 jonathon ross. Jonathon ross claims 6'1.5 so lets just give him that. Jonathon ross is leaning, i dnt knw why the hell he is even doing that, it has not purpose and isnt even funny, chances are hes trying to joke around act like he isn't taller then the others ''look im a shorty'' but even then, imagine him standing straight, wouldn't he even surpass hayes height? it looks like he clearly would but even if he were the same height as haye, that would make haye a maximum of 6'1.5. Jonathon ross isnt listed as 6'1.5 on this website, chances are he is shorter. That would further reduce hayes height. As i said, earier, i dnt believe haye is 6'3, or 6'2, i believe he is less then 6'1.

That is jimmy carr on the left, he isn't that tall but compare him to haye, he isn't that much shorter.

In his most recent fights, the announcer has stated 6'5 and on the conan show, wladimir admitted to only 6'5 and on his website it states 6'5. But like i said, in alot of the pictures, even with wladimir at 6'6, haye struggles with 6'2, he is less then 6'2. I think in alot of boxing forums theres debates about his height. I mean, in pics he can look taller but in alot of pics he looks alot shorter and u can make yourself look taller then you are but certainly not shorter.

johno said on 2/Feb/11
I do believe lennox is 6'4 and audey a bit taller, 6'4.5 to 6'5. And i went by what wladimir said about his own, ''im 6'5 tall and my brother, 6.6.5''.
However even if we were to put that wladimir at 6'6, how tall would it make haye even in this picture.

Click Here

As you can see, they are both perfectly straight with footwear to be seen. wladimir has dress shoes on and haye sneakers with 0.6 inch lift. Wladimir shoes are probably around 1.2 but even with the footwear advantage and wladimir at 6'6, how tall is haye? Does he look 6'2 even?

As i said before, out of the all the boxers, david haye is not his listed height of 6'3, others can be believable. David is 6'1 or under.

Lennox is 6'4
Audley 6'4.5 to 6'5
wladimir at 6'5 to 6'6
but haye, 6'0 to 6'1

Kobe bryant has close to 5 inches on 6,1 Obama so under 6,5 for kobe is not possible.
and lamar odom looks a legit 6,9 with 7 feet paul gasol may 6,9 1/2.so that makes vitali around 6,7 to 6,7 1,2 .Wladimir gives his own height at 1,98 cm that is 6,6 Click Here
he is only on the english website 6,5. and harrison is listed 6,5 1/2 so that makes haye a legit 6,2 Click Here and 6,11 valuev didnt have a full head or close to full head on david haye Click Here
johno said on 27/Jan/11
Thats exactly my point, listed! Lamaar seems 4 inches taller then kobe, who claims hims 6'4 and most likely is around 6'4 and half. That would make odom, 6'8-6'8.5. Vitali is around 1.5-2inches shorter then odom. That would make vitali around 6'6-6'6.5 feet tall. Thats exactly the height is brother wladimir puts him at and he turn, puts himself at 6'5. 6'8 is not his height and nor 6'7 most likely.

I did mention haye at a possibly 5'11 but, 6-6'1 is most likely his real height, not his listed 6'3 and nor 6'2 judging by how he is towered by guys like audley and wladimir by more then 4 inches, most likely 5!

Audley has been listed at 6'4.5 and also around 6'5 and wladimir gave his own height at 6'5, both have the same height advantage over haye thus both are realisticaly around 6'5. Either way, haye does not measure 6'3 in comparison to them, nor realistically 6'2. 6'1 would be his max estimate and he could be as low as 6'0. He has a proper built frame but still doesn't weight that much for a heavy weight, around 98kg, he would weigh more if he were 6'3 with that muscle and mass, i weigh around the same weight as haye and look similar, and i'm only 5'9, i doubt i have a heavy bone structure.

But as far as the rest of my list, thats the only adjustment i would make, haye 6'0-6'1. Lennox could be a weak 6'4 but i cnt put him close to 6'5.
d wade said on 26/Jan/11
but thre are not accurrate vitali looks 6,7 to 6,8 with 6,10 listed lamar Odom.And david Haye is minimum 6,2 6,11 valuev didnt have a full head on david haye which he should when david is only 5,11 that makes your list pointless.
johno said on 25/Jan/11
I do powerlifting, dnt need to take up any other sport. Anyway, your point only relates to tall sports ie basketball and volleyball, it does not relate to boxing. Its not like i am arguing that a basketball player cnt be 6'6 plus. Further, your 5000 guys won't be in the movie and entertainment industry either nor your 6'4s, 6'3s, 6'2s since those heights aren't neccessary and are rarer but that doesn't stop individuals from claiming them, john wayne 6'4? If he was really 6'4, he wouldn't be able to carry his roles.

Man, how the hell can you put vitali at 6'8? :S you really need to reassess your perspective on height. And david haye, is not 6'3 not 6'2, audley harrison dwarfs him. Lewis himself has stated 6'3 but ok, lets give him 6'3.999999.

As i see it, theres two type of annoying personalities on here, one the short guy with the napoleonic complex, downgrading and being biased on every listed height out there and then theres the annoying tall guy who upgrades every height close to his own but not above, just to create a special group where he thinks he belongs to with his imaginery cyber celebrity clique and no ones invited to, and sees the shorter guys trying to claim as thier own. I think you belong to the latter, big94cm.

You have to understand, 99% of the people commenting on here will be less then lennox lewis's 6'4 height, and 50% of those will be naysayers, you could use the jealous short guy argument on all of them since most of them will be shorter then lennox!

I stated my boxers height list and those i believe are accurate.
d wade said on 23/Jan/11
your list is crap johno david haye is minimum 6,2 and vitali is no way only 6,6 when you look him with lamar odom he is atleast 202 cm and lennox lewis 1,95 or 196 cm .

- On the subject of boxer heights, my list as follows

5'7 amir khan (billed height 5'10)
5'8 oscar de la hoya (billed height 5'11)
5'10 mike tyson (billed height)
6'3 lennox lewis (billed height 6'5)
6'4.5 audley harrison (billed height 6'5)
5'11-6'00 david haye (billed height 6'3, scandalous!)
6.5.5-6.6 vitali klitschko ( billed height 6'7)
5'6-5'7 mayweather similar height to amir (billed height 5'8)
5'10-5'11) joe calzaghe (billed height 5'11.5, 3-4 inchers taller then amir, 2 inches shorter then haye in comparison pictures)

These are just some, theres many more. I have seen fights on eurosports where both fighters are listed the same height when one is clearly taller then the other, even the commentators are bemused, point being, listed heights are seriously flawed. Dnt take comparisons with celebs who inturn have speculative heights as proof of the others height. Most of the pictures where rob or mamun etc are there present can be truly trusted or with individuals that have surprizengly modest billed heights, celebritys tend to exaggerate and not vice versa, eg chuck norris 5'8
Johno said on 17/Jan/11
- Its funny how sometimes people derive others heights by comparing them to a certain individuals height and inturn, that individuals height is determined by comparing them to the first individuals height. Its happening alot on this site. Eg lennox is 6'5 because he's 1-2 inches shorter then audley harrison whose listed at 6'6 and inturn, audley must be 6'6 because he is 1-2 inchers taller then lennox who is 6'5? I mean, they are both dependent on one another and it dnt make sense. Audley has been listed in some quarters as 6'4 and half ie 76.5 inches, to me he is a legit 6'4, one of a few including kobe bryant and usain bolt. True giants. People, go and measure someone who is very tall who claims to be 6'4 with a tape measurer, without shoes and chances are they will be 6'2. But since nearly every other person in society claims a height 2 inches above thier real height, there is so misinformation and to the casual observer an actual 5'10 is thier 6 foot! and 6'2 is a 6'4 and so forth so when there is a possibility that lennox lewis as stated himself could be a legit, 6'3 giant no one believes it because they cross reference with thier false idea of a 6'3 individual and think its miles too short, when it isn't. As a legit 5'9.2 inch individual and not a false 5'10 and 5'11 individual, a 6'3 person is likely the tallest individual i will see in a day in east london. At work, outside, at the gym. It is not common at all. I go to fitness first, been there 6 yrs, go 4 times a week and only 3-5 times have i seen someone who is 6'5 and over ie 77 inches out of thousands of individuals who would happen to train whilest i'm there.

Woah, Lennox looks like a beast beside Glenn, so I guess Lennox is a strong 6'5". And I saw a match where he fought Vitali Klitschko and there wasn't a big height difference between them. I only estimated Vitali an inch taller than Lennox. I also saw several interviews with Vitali and there he didn't seem so tall that we could list him as 6'7.5", I always estimated Vitali as a strong 6'6" or almost 6'7"

Klitschko offical pages gives him as 200cm and his brother as 198cm. But looking the pictures of them two it seems that the diff between them is about 4cm, so either is Vitali 202cm and Wlad 198cm or Vitali 200cm and Wlad 196cm wich he stated to Conan O'Brien. But if so then the height of many others are in question, like Conan, Ralph Moeller etc... So, again after seeing alot of pictures and videos, i bealive that Vitali is 202cm and Wlad 198cm

Glenn is very far back in that pic. Move Glenn forward a biT and the top of glenns head would be level with lennox's upper lip. Theres about 7 inches between lennox's upper lip and the top of his head. I would give lennox 6'3 and 3/4s inches in height. 6'5 is an abnormal height and extremely tall. The individual starts to look lanky despite having lots of lean muscle, lennox doesn't seem that.

He is clearly taller than 6-3, but he is only a bit taller than 6 3.5 Krasniqi and i think he was only a bit taller than 6-3 bruno, so I think he is 6.4 to 6.5.

I dont know why he said 6'3. I remember in his fight against Shannon Briggs, Glenn McCrory i TV studio said that Lewis is 6'5

Lenox looks 6'6" beside Glenn. 6'4 3/4" is definitely downgraded. Lewis is at least 6'5".

If he's really 6'5" or more then why should he have said he's 6'3"?

He's exactly 1m95 , he's been consistently listed as this. He can look taller though , due to his huge build and good posture.

with 6'3-6'3.5 George Foreman

I have seen him and i think he could well be 6'5 or 6'6. I remember noticing just how huge his fists were. He looked as if he could easily punch through a brick wall!

Look 6' 5.5" in the photos on his website. He towers over nearly everyone.

Lewis needs an upgrade. There is no reason for him to be listed below 6'5". I've heard him on numerous occasions actually refer to himself as 6'6" when commentating on HBO. He obviously isn't 6'3" so the above quote is out of date, and simply innacurate. Lewis stacks up fairly well with Vitali Klitschko, who himself is no less than 6'7.5" as I have photos of him post fight with Timo Hoffmann who is a legit 6'7" and Vitali is clearly taller. And as ed2 points out he is as tall, or marginally TALLER than 6'5"-6'6" Trace Adkins, so again 6'4.75" doesn't work. Finally, he is medically recorded as 6'5" on the tale of the tape, and in some english broadcasts I have seen 6'5.5", and 6'6", and on boxrec, the international database for pro boxers, he is listed 6'5". The man has an 84" (7'0")... he is a huge man and I will put him at 6'5" at the MINIMUM from all my experience with this sport.

CoolJ, I argued this on the Conan O'brien page about Wlad stating his height as 6'5" to be inaccurate, despite coming from his own mouth. He has been listed minimum 6'6" throughout his career, for I have seen all of his pro fights, and have seen him appear noticeably taller than 6'6" Ray Austin, and 6'6" Jameel McCline, and a plethora of others around 6'4" whom he towers over. Maybe he is confused about the conversion for i'm sure he is used to using the metric system.

Wlad Klitschko said recently on Leno that he is 6'5". Pro boxers exaggerate their heights just like all other pro athletes.
ed2 said on 16/May/08
With Klitschko brothers he looks at least 6ft5:

Well, what's a quarter inch? Close enough to 6'5". all though 1m95 is actually closer to 6'4.75 than it is to 6'5". And 1m96 is closer to 6'5.25 than is to 6'5".

ed2,

Looking at that pic, I believe the hat Trace is wearing is throwing off the comparison. I don't think Lennox is 6'6" but clearly at least a solid 6'5". Not sure why Rob shaved off a 1/4 inch. But then again, Rob has a good eye for height. :-)
ed2 said on 26/Apr/08
He loks the same height as 6'6'' Trace Adkins:

How is he in person?
anonymous said on 28/Feb/08
lennox fan, he was never once listed as 6`5.5. I doubt highly he is that height
anonymous said on 18/Feb/08
this may interest some. in his olympic bout with riddick bowe, he is listed at 6`4:

Golota is an easy 6'4". He is very large, and i've seen photos of him with 6'3" guys and he is clearly taller.
anonymous said on 23/Jan/08
golota is at least 6`4? I always thought 6`3ish. thanks glenn.
glenn said on 21/Jan/08
i just got golota.at least 6-4.
anonymous said on 21/Jan/08
He was taller than golota AshnarLynx. But is Golota a legit 6`4?
8bit said on 19/Dec/07
He was listed as 6'4.5" in his eirlier fights. That seems just about right.
Produce said on 3/Dec/07
Lewis didnt look much taller tah Bruno. Standing next to Bruno or Luan Krasniqi he lookes 6`4 , but beside Glen, I would say it could be more.

I think Lennox has weighed more than Shaq since he retired. ^o^ Still, I think he'd be about 6'6"(+?) and a bit if he straightened up completely. He's got these ridiculously long arms and wide shoulders, so he looks way taller than 6'4"-6'5" or so. Boxers always have slumped postures...just habit. I saw him in the West Village with his crew a couple years back and he looked enormous, even next to his 7' tall bodyguards.
Atoadaso said on 13/Nov/07
Vitali Klitschko is sometimes listed 6'7" or 6'7.5", however he is 6'8" and Wladimir, his brother is 6'7". They are generally underlisted slightly, I don't know why, but they are always taller than they should be as listed when face to face with other big men. Example, Vitali had 1" over 6'7" Timo Hoffmann. Wladimir had about 1.5" over 6'6" Jameel McCline.

Lewis fits at 6'5", based on being about 3" shorter than Vitali. If Lewis is anything other than 6'5", i'd say it's slightly higher actually.
Austrian said on 4/Nov/07
that fight was against Vitali, who is the taller (and older) of the Klitschko brothers, at over 2 meters height
Anonymous said on 2/Nov/07
Looks about 6'5''. Big guy. He is certainly more than 6'3''. When he fought 6'2'' or 6'3'' guys like Frank Bruno of Frank Botha, Lewis was noticeably taller. The only guy that really looked bigger than him was the 6'7'' or 6'8'' Kiltschko. That was a great fight that the ref shouldn't have stopped. Either could have been KO'd at any point.
AshnarLynx said on 30/Oct/07
He is 6'4. I saw a photo with him and Golota, they looked exactly equally tall.
Alexis said on 28/Oct/07
Lennox Lewis looks 6'5'' in the picture. He isn't standing straight.
Alex said on 28/Oct/07
Like Derek said we aren't going to be able to tell the difference from 6'4 1/2 to 6'4 3/4 to 6'5 based on a picture unless we were there up close we could maybe tell the difference.
Anonymous said on 28/Oct/07
he looks 6'2 or 6'3 by slouching. But he looks around 6'3 or 6'4 range.
sweetchari said on 26/Oct/07
Sorry you guys got this one wrong, he is clearly 6'5". He jus has bad posture. In this picture he is slumping a lot.
