Something is seriously wrong here. Can someone please look at the below picture and tell me exactly how Wlad is only two inches taller than Haye? Looks like four to me, at least. Meaning Haye is surely 6'2 and Wlad surely very close to 6'6?

I'm a legit 6'5". I've met Wlad on a number of occasions and have always felt like I'm looking up to him a bit but only a bit. I'd say he's a maximum of 6'6", probably just a little less.

Don't forget that posture and footwear can make a significant difference when comparing people's heights in head to head photographs.

Usually the distance between someone's eyeline and the top of their head is about 4.5".

Looks like Haye is around Wlad's eyeline in that photo, so if Wlad is 6'6" then Haye might be roughly 6'2". He might look a little shorter than usual if he's wearing thin soled trainers and Wlad's wearing dress shoes with a slight heel.

Can't post pictures but does this look like a 6" height difference? http://philboxing.com/news/pix/fury-cun ... n.330w.jpg

Forget photos and listed heights you just have to meet the guys I guess.

If you look at other photos from the same shoot but different angles, there definitely looks to be a substantial difference between the two. You can never tell for sure though unless you can see posture/footwear.

There's a load where Cunningham is tilting his head upwards, which if you ever go to get your height measured properly at a doctor's they will make sure your head is tilted level to get an accurate reading.

I've got aphoto with haye after the mormeck fight and I'm 6, 1.5 and he was slightly taller than me so 6, 2-3 seems about right

My brother met him in London earlier this year and got a photo with him, I'm 6'2 on the dot and he said I'm slightly taller.
