Editor Rob looking a height in one photo and being that height can of course be different. Sometimes it can be enhanced or reduced.

Is there something odd about the angle on this photo? I see 2.5-3inches between you guys on this shot, though I don't doubt he's a '5'10.5' out of bed '5'10" at the end of the day kind of guy-- especially since that's all he claims

Editor Rob I believe there is a bit more height in the photo than I thought there looked in person, possibly because the photographer is standing directly in front of Mike.

He's slouching in the pic.
Standing tall, he could be 180-181 (5ft 11 range).
Editor Rob
Knowing how we're both standing that moment I certainly didn't think he was standing less than me.
I mean Has Mike got worse posture than me with Jenny here...
He looked a bit taller in the photo than how he actually looked up close...but that's always possible in photos depending on photographer's position and other factors.

At the 1 minute 31 mark , Tyson's stats are flashed up on the screen and his height is given as 5'11 1/2. Has he shrunk with middle age or wa his height exaggerated? Boxers shoes are pretty flat so I can't imagine that even with his shoes on they would give him much height advantage.

Tyson's head is closer than rob's head. that gives him a 2'' taller impression. His massive back in his prime causes a 1.5'' drop latter in the day. he can go from a solid 5'10'' to a solid 5'9''. I remember he measured 5'11.5'' before one of his fights. The 5'10.5''-5'10.75 is more likely when measured before that particular fight. Tyson has claimed himself to be 5'10''.

Editor Rob he was interacting well with people in that photo queue, I seen a number of shots being taken and he seemed friendly enough.
The photographer was stressed though as I think he had 200 to get through in the 30 minute slot.

Tyson looks to be not standing as tall as Rob, he looks like he's 5'10.5 - 5'10.75, which is what he was measured at for one of his earliest pro fights.
---------------------------------------
agree Tyson is rather 179cm especially since Rob is a very strong 5'8 (I actually consider rob to be 5'8.5 because he is 5'9 out of bed and 5'8.25 or so at night)
but are you sure Tyson was measured ? when was it and was he measured with shoes ? thanks

In that picture with Rob, he looks nothing less then a solid 5'10.
In some of the other pictures with other site users, he can look as low as 5'9.
There is a 1-inch discrepancy there and this maybe due to Tyson having the angle and posture advantage in that photo with Rob.
Another shot of Rob and Tyson would prove useful.

I always thought it was odd that athletes exaggerate their heights. The boxing achievements of Mike Tyson fighting heavyweights are only better appreciated when his actual height is considered. He was really no more than a short cruiserweight, yet for several years he was probably fighting at a higher level than any heavyweight in history. I say that because most experts rate Muhammad Ali as the best of all time, yet the 5 foot 11 Joe Frazier beat him one out of three and was very competitive the other two. Tyson was very similar to Frazier, yet faster and even stronger, with a much higher knockout percentage.

Tyson is a not a small man but a legit average so neither tall or short. Up against some of his opponents though like Lennox Lewis etc he looks short yes but take into account Lennox is nearly 8 inches over the average British or American.

In my opinion Tyson was more in 5'10" range rather than just 5'10" flat. His 5'10 1/2 claim makes sense to me, especially in his prime. I think 179cm as a peak height would be fair.

@ Sam: He's not calling himself short because he's 5'10, he's calling himself short because he was knocking guys out that were 6'4, 6'5. If you're 5'10 and surrounded by giants you're going to feel short.
And Tyson looks like a legit 5'10 guy, probably wakes up close to 5'11.

5'10 is not short. I guess he's just got a lot of expectations to live up to, but to a lot of people he's already proven himself in the ring. Height means nothing in that regard.

I was an an ameture boxer from 2000-2003 (before I joined the army. I trained at the Golden Gloves Boxing gym in Las Vegas, NV which was located on Washington street, directly across the street grow where Cashman field is today. The Golden Gloves gym has since been torn down. However I am providing this location info so any read can verify this if they liked. I met Mike Tyson in the Golden Gloves Gym in 2001. I stand 5'10, Mike Tyson and I were the same height. However when he put his boxing shoes on, he was a little taller than me. His shoes had a slight lift in the heal which seemed to give him a punching advantage as he threw punches. His shoes were like starting blocks for a sprinter, and they helped him "explode". Check any picture of Tyson fighting and you will see for yourself.
Flat footed Tyson is 5'10. With his boxing shoes on 5'11 1/2 which was his listed boxing height.

Bob,
The reason I was shocked by his "dwarf" description is not because of height (6'0 is my height just so you know), I've seen many 5'10 men who actually tended to be taller when around general populace. But good observation.

@ Jow, he uses the term 'dwarf' to describe his height because he's isn't holding the mindset of an average member of the public - he's thinking in respect of himself as a heavyweight boxer, where the champions now are all typically circa 6'5" or even above. He's not thinking about his height the way most people would.
Also, he can often have a self-depreciating manner when talking about himself. It's part of his odd personality which often strays into self-loathing.
I presume you're around that height, hence why you appear irked, but it's really not a comment to dwell on. Let alone take offence to.

There is a picture of Iron Mike and Randall Cobb on Cobb's instagram. Randall Cobb was measured at 5'10.25 at the combine (it is an early morning height), so Cobb is probably a slighly weak 5'10 in the evening, which is how heights are based on this site.
Cobb looked marginally taller than Tyson but you couldn't see footwear.
If they had similar footwear i would guess Tyson to be 5'9.5.

I must add though that i think if mike claims 5'10 then that is what he must be. As a former heavyweight champion of the world it doesn't really do him any favours to inflate his height. Being smaller just makes it all even more of an achievement.

Can't understand how some people are saying he's over 5'10" when he himself has stated twice now that he's 5'10". It's a known fact that Mike was never over 5'10" and this is going back to the mid-80's when commentators announced that he stood 5'9"-5'10", so yeah, 5'10" is the MAX.

He is around my height. My average height is 5ft 9.6in (~177cm), How do I know? one easy step. Stand straight in any wall with measuring tape stuck on the wall (making sure 0cm is exactly on the ground). Next, Try to get help from anyone to help measure your height. First, lift your head up with your as high as possible, that is your maximum possible height (say it is 5ft 10.5in or 179cm) then put your head down keeping your back straight, that will record your minimum height (say it is 5ft 9in or 175cm), then add max height + min height then divide ans by 2: (179/2 + 175/2 = 177cm). This is your average height

Editor Rob both photos are adding a little fraction of height. The 1.8 difference appears a 1/3rd inch more.
But having a smaller head and higher eyeline (like an 8.5 inch head and 4.25 eyeline in Jenny case) helps. Although Glenn's head is about that aswell in that photo, he has tilted his eyes up slightly so his eyelevel is a bit less than 4 inches in the photo.

Tyson was a legit 5'11" during his first reign in the 80's. Witnessed a documentary released during that time and there was footage of him standing barefoot next to height chart and he was bang on 5'11". Appeared shorter due to his duck and crouch style but was not overly short.
his head is away from the sheet..the correct way is to measure your head against the measurement and back..it supposedly promotes the most natural upright posture....I read it in a article...he looked 5-10 1/2 to 5-11 but he was away from the sheet..it will make you look taller actually..he's probably 5-9 1/2 to 5-10 without shoes...he is bulky so he probably looks shorter...someone 5-9 1/2 and 5-10 1/4 is not noticeable enough to consider someone short...5-10 may be average white american male height but I don't think 5-9 1/2 is enough to be considered noticeable

Editor Rob yes I'd be 5ft 8 1/8th. Always remember a photo can be quite accurate but also add/take height.
Remember this is about 1.8 inches difference...yet even though I didn't intend to (and was standing between them both), I still added a fraction to the difference. I was too close though, which is why when I took the one with glenn I put jenny in the door of the bathroom and me/glenn stood over the opposite side of bed.

IMO he is a "true" 5'10 meaning he looks every bit of it with average posture..
Anything under 177cm for him is just a joke

Since when 5'10 is dwarf?he's average,neither tall nor short.Average for Heavyweights is like 6'4-5 so he was kind of small in his sport and average outside.
One thing is sure,after few minutes of fighting nobody was able to stand taller than 2' with him.

Editor Rob you can tilt your head down a bit when talking to smaller people, in the same way you might tilt it up when talking to a taller person. Thus, differences can sometimes seem less than what they truly are, because inevitably people are guessing based on their eye-levels.

Editor Rob well I saw him standing right beside the photographer and he was nearly 2 inches smaller. I'll say it again, the photographer is adding a bit of height to Tyson because of his position, the photographer himself is near 5ft 11.5 yet was nearly 2 inches taller than Tyson himself when I was comparing them!
I think on here sometimes even a real 2 inch difference can look more than it should and less than it should at times...I wish I could take my own photos :) Unfortunately positions, camera angles/lenses can sometimes distort things a little....
Here is just some shots to show about 2 inches - I put the camera about 8-9 feet away so it's further than any photoshoots I get, so less distortion. Click Here
The block is right on 5cm so near enough 2 inches I had a couple mm more than Jenny this time of day so the actual photos are like a a solid 2 inches taller and jenny an exact 1.8 inches taller than me...
It also shows again the benefit of having a smaller head and higher eyelevel (as jenny does) - my eyes are looking at the mouth of the taller person here - normally you'd think that's going to be like a 5ft 8 and 11 person, but not in this case, it is me and essentially an exact 5ft 10 person...

@Rob,
Could you do a listing on UFC fighter Georges St.Pierre and Anderson Silva, who are the most popular fighters in mma. And their much more popular than many celebs you have on here. Thanks Rob, alot of us boxing/mma fans would appreciate it.

"Obviously he's in his 70's now so is likely to have lost some height, but he's not only 6'2" flat today nor is Tyson only 5'9" flat. He's legit 5'10" as can be seen clearly with Rob."
West with 6'1.5 Derrick Rose. Click Here
Sorry but hes 6'2 Max. And the NBA wouldnt over bill a guy by over 2 inches lol. Thats the craziest thing Ive ever heard.
Tyson looks barely 5'9 with him. Even without that Tyson is 5'9.

Although in Tysons shot with the photographer he's actually not bothering Click Here - top guy is photographer who is near 182cm, the other guy in that image is a fellow who is 6ft 4 range...

The pic of Tyson with Jerry West that has been used by some to downgrade Mike to 5'9" flat is based on the premise that West is 6'2". In actuality West was measured at 6'2.5" aged 18 when he was recruited to West Virginia University. When he was measured again aged 23 for the NBA he had grown to a fraction over 6'4". Obviously he's in his 70's now so is likely to have lost some height, but he's not only 6'2" flat today nor is Tyson only 5'9" flat. He's legit 5'10" as can be seen clearly with Rob.

What would be my motive for saying he's not 5'10 and it being a myth. The photos were on here to prove. Boxers get measured in shoes. I am one and in all my tournaments it's the case.

Mike tyson real height is 5'9.5" (176cm). He has been listed for years at a fake 5'11"-5'11.5" (180-182cm). Tyrell biggs, who fought against him on 1987, said tyson looked 5'8"-5'9". Holyfield stated him at 5'9". In any case, there was an official paper of the athletic commission before his first title fight against trevor berbick. Tyson was listed at 5'9.5" (176cm)

go back to a movie like golden child - he has a scene with charles dance at airport i think and looks to me near 6 inches smaller, back when dance was 6ft 3.

most likely 179cm but could be 178cm

I think the 6ft 1 guy(186-187cm in flat shoes), Mike looks a weak 3 inch shorter..Id say around 180cm in shoes meaning 177-178 range is a given.
It also fits in terms with Junior, as I reckon 4-5cm shorter than Mike(dont forget Mike's lean + the fact hes bald)..Junior about 175-176 in shoes(5ft 8 roughly barefoot).
I think 178cm flat is fair, although wouldnt be suprised if he dipped a smidge under 5'10 at night(177.5cm or so).
At worst Id say a flat 177cm but any lower seems impossible IMO.

in my opinion if we take all 3 pictures tyson is a legit 5 foot 10 as he stated himself.

either way, 5'10, 5'10.5 or 5'9.5, f*cking incredible fighter to be able to be a heavy weight champ a couple times over at his average stature. Most of the men he fought had at least 5 inches on him. Legend.

If Mike's shoes are equal with Rob's shoes, I can buy 5'10.5". At least, he looks 5'10".

I've said it before, but Tyson I would peg at 5'9.5 after seeing him with alot of different MMA-fighters/boxers etc that I think I have a pretty good estimate of after more or less studying them for years.

Disagree guys. Don't see a full two inches slouching or not nor did I feel like I was interacting with a guy two inches taller. My buddy who is wearing flats I might add is 6'1 and change and I see more then three inches between them. Tyson to me is a strong 5'9.

Hey johno, my height range is at best 5'8.5 and 5'8 flat although there was an occasion where after training for hours and pulling an all nighter for a laugh I measured and was 5''7.9. But I'm basically 5'8 1/8.
As for my buddy he's every bit of 6'1+ he was in fact wearing converse flats. Also his hair is deceptive. The way it's cut doesn't do the top of his head justice. Tyson on the other hand was wearing dress shoes with a semi gracious heel, probably the same as my Reeboks that night.
I will say this johno, look more at tops of heads then eye levels. Eye levels can be very decieving when deciphering height.
This photo was taken at night. Tyson looked pretty exhausted as we were the last stop of a country tour the he performed his show.
With all this being said I didn't at all get a 5'10 impression from him. Being a fighter I have kind of mastered the art of height perspective and distance. If I had to put a number on it I would say he gave the impression of a 5'9 guy. He more the like likely wakes up 5'9.75 And hits the hay quite possibly and eighth under 5'9. I will say this having shook his hand and had him put his hand around me and on my shoulder, this man has the bone density of an ox
Rob when it comes to Tyson's height in comparison to ours what do you think?

Junior if your a flat 5'8 then that makes you about the same height as rob.
Tyson does not even look 5'9 there so depending on footwear being equal, tyson looks 5'8.75. Your 6'1 friend does not look like 6'1 with you, your not that far off his height. So maybe your friend is wearing flats and measured his 6'1 height in the morning?
Junior what is your height rangr? and what were your respective like?
If you are indeed 5'8 in the evening then tyson is no more then 5'9. That height difference between rob and tyson could be an optical illusion and the difference could be 1.25 inches with rob about and the arm over shoulder could elevating tyson as rob used to insinuate to make him appear taller then he is.
With ejel tysom is 5'9
with rob 5'9 .25
with junior 5'8.75 - 5'9
Thus, 5'9 - 5'9.25 could be closer to the truth

i read in a boxing forum that someone who kne tyson said he was often in the gym with him and tyson was meassured 5 10.5 bare footed. that what tyson said, so maybe its true: Prime 5 10.5 and now 5. 10!

i only know the video where he was meassured 5-11.. , but tyson gives me more the impression of 5-9 to 5-10. here he looks 5 10.5 and he stated himself beeing very short at 5-10- he didnt sound faking. i think he is right with 5 foot 10! in this picture here he must be at least a strong 5 foot 9.

Exactly, it is the same size i read on a boxing magazine:
he is 5'9.5" (176-177cm) barefoot.

176cm is a joke for tyson. there is a higher chance of him being 180cm than 176cm but I see him at 178-79cm at night.
I am sorry c-mo, but he could not reach 5'11"(180 cm). No way. Well known boxing commentators, such as larry merchant, Paul Dickenson, Peter heller, said for all his boxing career, he was shorter than listed. They repeated many times he was in the range 5'9"-5'10" (176-178cm). Tyrell biggs who fought tyson on 1987 said he looked at 5'8". Maybe he was offensive to tyson, but Holyfield stated tyson at 5'9". When you are 5'11" barefeet you are not so small compared with men at 6'2"-6'3". Most of tyson's opponenets were in the range 6'2"-6'3", and he was clearly shorter. So i think that boxing magazine was right, when it listed tyson at 5'9.5" (176-177cm). It means barefeet. No shoes on.

5'9.5 is closer to 177 and Paul Dickenson, 30+ year commentating veteran made a point of saying he was 5'10, not the 5'11.5 he was been billed at, in one of his earlier fights. 5'10 from his own mouth... 5'10!

Watched an hour long fan-interview with him on youtube yesterday and he was talking about the old days and how he was fighting taller guys and that he was only 5'10.5 You'll never know if he was measured morning/night.. But I'd give him 5'10 in his prime before bed and 5'9.5 before bed today.
