Dressing yourself in the dark to resemble a Ghetto Dwarf doesn't help you look taller.  Just look at Dori, Nori and Ori from the Hobbit to see what I mean.

It makes 'em look stubbier.
I would say Jay Cutler is legit 5'9'' while Phil Heath is 5'10'', he's one of those who lies about his height and pretends to be shorter than he really is, just like Kevin Levrone and Flex Wheeler both claimed to be 5'9'' when in reality Kevin is 5'10'' and Flex is 5'11'', and Dorian claimed to be 5'10'' when in reality he was 5'11''. Keep in mind they are all older, in their 50s now and they all took, and abused steroids, which causes height loss, they all probably lost at least an inch in height by now. Btw Lee Haney was 6' tall and he claimed 5'11''. I've done extensive research about this

Reach is BS, Tyson had less reach than all of his opponents, but he beat them all (in his prime)

Mike Tyson's height was 5'9.5.

I've met Shawn Ray, he's probably 5'5, and looked like a milk dud, it's a shame because he probably had one of the top 5 best physiques of all time. I'm not saying he has to maintain his 90's build but at least maintain an athletic build along the lines of Labrada.
Why should he care? i think he has a good life now.

True.  DU listed Heath as 5'9.  D1 basketball program wouldn't take away an inch vs. give a player an inch on the stats sheets.

Shawn Ray was measured at 5'6.5" in his doctor's office in his DVD.  He was 40 at the time.  So it's fair for him to call himself 5'7.  Though in the DVD, he said "I always thought I was 5'7.5" or something to that effect.

Cool of him to leave that in the DVD, as it was not an insecure thing.  Others may not want to include that.

Johnnie Jackson is around 5'7.5".  There are some other mistakes in this thread.  I agree that Phil Heath is probably a bit closer to 5'9.5".  Not sure why Wiggs said Ronnie was never over 5'10.  Wiggs himself is a weak 5'10, but Ronnie was a girl hair taller than Wiggs, so I think Ronnie's prime height of 5'10.5" was realistic.

DVDs???

By 2009 he had lost height, I'm sure he was 5'10'' in his prime
