Really doesn't matter, no matter what the measurement he has a gigantic neck especially for his size.Last edited by 2kool4skool; 08-08-2007 at 04:05 PM.

Fedor is actually about 5'10. MMA heights are usually exaggerated by about 2". For example, Matt Hughes and BJ Penn are both listed at 5'9" but they're actually 5'7. Ken Shamrock is usually listed as 6' but is actually about 5'10. Phil Baroni is really about 5'8.Originally Posted by cgc

27 inches is huge. i don't think that hes got a 27 maybe 23 but he'd look so weird with a 27 inch one.
does any one have a pic of a 27 inch neck?

I've talked to people who have seen Hughes and Penn in person. 5'7" is verified by more than 1 person for each of the 2 fighters.Originally Posted by cgc
Same for Ken Shamrock. His real height of 5'10" is common knowledge.
People posted on Sherdog about seeing Baroni and him being really about 5'8.
I got 5'10 for Fedor from the photos of him standing next to Tyson and Tyson is 5'8.5". 5'8.5" is verified by Tyson himself and verifiable by watching the video of him standing next to the 5'8 Eddie Murphy. Note that some people mistake Murphy for 5'9 but he's really 5'8. This is evident when he stands next to the 5'9 Jamie Foxx.

No sense in debating this any longer really. I'm not saying that I believe everything I read about fighters, but a 3-4 inch height difference is a pretty good streatch outside of Professional Wrestling."Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"

judging by height by eye isn't accurate, my uncle is 1 inch shorter than me and i look alot taller. my dad is 6'1 and he looks short compared to me..alot shorter.
some days i feel and look short, otherdays i tower over people..it's strange.

These guys have no idea how big a 24'' neck is. Most people's necks are 1-2 inches bigger than their arms. I doubt anyone in this thread has a neck bigger than 21-22''.Originally Posted by jay81

I would estimate Tyson is about 5'9 1/2'' -- announcers said he was that early in his career and it looks right. He's admitted being 5'10'', don't know about 5'8 1/2''...

Yeah, if you have a big neck, you know straight away how crazy Sherk having anything over 18-19'' is, let alone 20-something ... or 27 (!!!). Man...Originally Posted by Sol_krym

27" no way
Biggest neck I have seen in all sports is former LB Takeo Spikes 6'2" 240lbs
According to Wikipedia
Takeo Spikes is recognized and known for the size and strength of his neck. He’s been called “the most jacked linebacker in the NFL.” [16] Spikes himself measures his neck at 21 inches. At one point in his career he could bench 490 pounds. He was featured in ESPN magazine’s The Body Issue in 2012 with a focus on his neck and trapezoids.[17]Contact me about our author Program
