He only looks 2 inches taller than Big Daddy Browne at most.
And in every photo I can find of him with Wladimir Klitschko he appears slightly smaller
So if Klitschko is well established as 6'6 then Towers must be 6'5+?
This is what someone who is 6'8+ looks like next to Wlad

He looked a bit shorter than Wach and Wilder too so I's guess he's 6'5" - 6'6"
Although unless you can see head to feet, pics can be deceiving.

Regarding his actual height. Ive said before that boxer's listed heights seem to be bullshit a lot of the time.

If Towers is only 6'5/ 6'6 though then what height is Haye in reality as there looks a pretty big gap between him and the other guys in this vid

Just kidding. I reckon somewhere around the 6'6" mark? Definitely looked noticably bigger than Gregory Tony, who's probably 6'3"ish.

He's tall but "not that tall" (6'8" tall) but I'd say his more impressive feature are those arms of his, they are bloody long...shame he hasn't the skills to make the most of them though
