Dalip Singhs is CLEARLY still 7'2" and was probably 7'2.75 or even 7'3" in his prime. That photo with Shaq is USELESS. Shaq wears like 3" thick soled sneakers. Look at this photo when Shaq and Bigshow were both wearing the same shoes. Put Khali and Shaq in those shoes and Khali's at least 1" taller than Shaq.

if silva is more than an inch taller than khali barefoot then khali is no more than 7ft barefoot as silva was listed at 217cm (7'1.4) age 27 in the 1988 olympics

She's supposedly 5'6-7"ish, Check the part about 3 seconds in. She's barely above his armpit.

I work in Humble TX, where "khali" lives. I ran into him in a Murphy gas station. I am 6'4 3/4" and I was at the base of his neck. 7'1" is very beleivable.

Frank: Dubon is right, that has been a claim that no one has been able to verify. Also, I don't get you sometimes.

In the photo with Khali & Shaq, it's not as simple to just draw a horizontal line above their heads to see who is taller; there are other factors.
Khali stands with a taller posture than Shaq here. Though Shaq's facial direction seems to be level (parellel with the ground), as usual he is standing with his neck angled forward. If you look at his side view, his head would be slightly in front of his body, making him stand shorter. As always, Khali's neck seems straight. If you look at his side view, his head is directly above his body. Khali's facial direction seems to be angled downwards but this may be an illusion caused by his large head & low chin.
Khali seems to be standing closer to the camera, & assuming the photographer isn't Yao Ming, this makes Khali seem taller. However, this also may be an illusion due to his large frame & large head, making him appear slightly in front of Shaq.
Then there's Khali's hair. It's difficult to tell where the top of Khali's head actually is. The hair may be giving him as little as 3mm or as much as 3/4 an inch extra height.
Shaq seems to have a slight edge in body height (if their heads were chopped off at the base of the neck). Shaq also seems to have the edge in eye-level. This, along with the longer neck, gives the quick-glance-illusion that Shaq is taller. Face-to-face, Shaq would be slightly looking down at Khali. But then again, this may be due to Khali possibly facing downward towards the camera.
The biggest question is footwear. Almost certainly, Shaq has the shoe advantage. If so, then in actuality their body heights may be level, their eyes level, Khali's chin still lower, but Khali taller overall. Danimal says on 17/Dec/09

I still maintain, Khali was listed on his bodybuilding site as 6'11. The most recent photo they had of him then looked like he was old enough to have stopped growing. Make of this fact (site has changed but this is what used to be there) what you will. It is in the interest of every billed giant to be at least 7 ft. I also think khalis height holds the key to the real heights of big show, shaq etc ie if he realy is 6'11" (im not saying he is but the old site clearly mentioned this as his height) then they are all shorter than what they are purported to be around here and elsewhere. Singh and shaq look roughly the same height to me. My guess is 6'11" but then maybe giants grow alittle (deposition on end plates?) after their growth plates have fused, i dont know. I just remember seeing a documentary in which Chris Greener (britains tallest man for years) stated he was still growing (in his 60s) - must be by minute amounts if atall surely.

I agree, Khali is taller than Shaq. I suspect Shaq has the footwear advantage over Khali's thin soled wrestling shoes (he is in his ring gear, after all) and Khali is still about 0.5" taller. Barefoot I think Khali has about an inch on Shaq. MeanMark says on 30/Oct/09
Whoa whoa fellas fellas Khali is much taller than shaq, because if you look closely at the cyber sunday photo Khali is not standing totally straight at where shaq is and Khali still looks a bit taller and imagine what he would look like if he was standng straight. Shaq looks taller because he is thinner, he has longer legs, bigger feet (bigger shoes size 23 in USA) and he has a smaller head which would make him look much taller SO KHALI IS TALLER AND THATS THE END But i'd give Big Show atleast 7 foot unlike Khali 7.2 at where shaq is 7.1.

I am 6ft 11 and when I saw Dalip in Washington, he looked about 2 inches taller than me, he was in casual footware, I think the minimum for him is 7ft 0.5 but more likely 7ft 1, he looks bigger, because he has a good posture and, ofcorse, has a HUGE frame. mike says on 30/Aug/09

Khalli is 7'2, Shaq is 7'1, i don't think that shaq would be taller than Khalli, I Mean some people say Big Show is not 7'0 and that is crap, because i've saw him up close, he is huge, he just has bad posture, mainly because of his weight, Big Show is exactly 7'0, he looks it too. Blitzilla says on 27/Jul/09
Hey guys, i jsut saw RAW when shaq was hosting it. Its official Shaq had big show by more than inch, and where SHAQ stood up his straightest, he had big show by almost 2 inches. It confirms, what i've said a while ago, that shaq has khali by 1 cm. Big Show= 212cm (6'11.5), Khali=215 cm (7'1) and Shaq=216 cm (7'1). Plus both of them were wearing dress shoes, so no advantages. and u have to remember, khali has hair, and both shaq and show are bald. That's y i'm saying shaq would have khali by 1 cm. pjk says on 27/Jul/09
The site as linked above by Rob is a different design to the one i saw a few years ago, some of the pictures are the same, some are more recent i think. It is possible it is the same site with updated figures and pictures dedicated to Dalip (now a star) but one thing is for sure, the site i saw had his height at under 7ft (at 6'11.5 or 6'11"- im unsure of the 1/2"). It would make sense to update it to this greater height whether he did grow or not as his billed wrestling height is over 7ft. Either way he is a bloody big lad. pjk says on 27/Jul/09
The site did exist and appeared to be dedicated to a small group of bodybuilders at a club, i read his height at 6'11.5" (it might not exist anymore but thats what was said on it, i cant be bothered to trawl net for it). The site had pictures of Dalip looking young - hard to say age, i would guess 26 or so, he certainly looked old enough for his growth plates to have fussed but it is possible he was younger and grew alittle more.
Clay - i am an old man not a kid, but yes i am often a fool. On heights i do not fool around, i simply disbelieve certain 'facts' as they often turn out to be untrue in the case of peoples stature and intelligent people rightly question facts. Isnt this why this site is so successful - because not many (if any) celebs exact heights are known. Even an admittance to a smaller height by the celeb themselves is no fact of height. People in general are notoriously bad at measuring heights. Without atleast accurate morning and evening measurements bare foot by someone/organisation that doesnt gain from bending the truth alittle (sometimes its just pride) all we have is conjecture. I really adore giants me but it bugs me that such tall people often dont get accurately measured or let people know their exact heights if they have been. Im all for the truth and so am happy to be proven wrong. Peace brother and may you dream of giants e he. Jeremy says on 26/Jul/09
some of you might not remember me, but I've been coming by this site for a year and a half now. Anyway, there is no comparison, Khali and Shaq are both 7'1". Neither man is any taller than the other. So let's just leave it at that. By the way Shaquille O'Neal will be on RAW tomorrow. He will have 1 1/2" on Big Show. hs2009 says on 25/Jul/09
How many more times do we have to go over this alleged site that listed Khali at 6'11.5"? It doesn't exist or somebody would have linked to it by now.

Its been said around here that Shaq said he is just under 7ft. That does look about right, and would make Dalip around the same height (or a smidging under) from the photo of them together.

Khali is bearly taller than Big Show and for that to be 2 inches he must have at least a 20 inch head. As for footwear, I doubt Big Show's footwear gives him much if any advantage over Khali's (certainly not an inch). CaptainSpaulding says on 6/Jul/09

Vegas and Big Show I see what you mean, but do you understand where I am coming from, Silva is taller and better wrestler plus can speak good english, where khali can't. When it comes to wrestling Big Show has all of them beat including a young Andre. Vegas says on 27/Jun/09

Btw the reason they still have Singh in the WWE is purely for marketing purposes. He's somewhat of a celebrity in his homeland of India, which is a huge potential market for the WWE. Plus Khali appears in Hollywood movies and gives the WWE some mainstream publicity.
this is correct, in india and pakistan pro-wrestling is still seen as real, look at the crowd khali attracts when he returns to his homeland, they threw a huge celebration for him in mumbai like he was a rock star or something, on the other hand nobody cares about silva in brazil or reis in america thats why neither of those two are employed by vince
on the subject of tenta, he claimed 6'7 for himself, 6'7 for hogan too, i would take stuff he says with a pinch of salt, tenta is struggling with 6'5 next to 7'1 ron reis in big shows video posted a few weeks back, i think silva is taller than wight by about 2 inches but i wouldn't use tentas claims as proof Big Show says on 26/Jun/09
kinggollum says on 25/Jun/09
go to wrestle crap Big Show (poster) and find Tenta shoot. Also if that were the case they would have never hired khali who Kurrgan and Silva are superior to in the ring.
I'll look for that John Tenta shoot. There's a John Tenta forum there and Tenta even posted there himself up until he sadly passed away a few years ago. One remark from him did state that The Oddities might have been cut by the WWE because Big Show allegedly didn't want any other giants in the WWE.

Either you are the one who is blind or delusional? Khali is doing his normal very erect stance that he does well, all the time. If Khali was an inch taller than Silva would be about 7'0, or big shows height and that is not the case because john tenta even stated that silva had show by two or three inches in 1999 and that is why after show came there they let go of silva and well kurrgan too.

Do you have any proof of that? The reason they let Silva go was because he was absolute crap in the ring (there's a reason they kept his singles matches to a minimum in the WWE). The Oddities failed to connect with the crowd and when they disbanded the Oddities, they really had no use for Giant Silva or Kurrgan anymore.

Khali is huge just not a good wrestler and like I said Silva is not only taller but a better wrestler. Also he can speak good english for WWE

You must be blind. Look at Khali's legs; they are just as, if not more bent, than Silvas. And tilting your head back is a way to make yourself appear TALLER. So your arguments are useless. Khali is clearly the taller of the two by an inch or so.
Either you are the one who is blind or delusional? Khali is doing his normal very erect stance that he does well, all the time. If Khali was an inch taller than Silva would be about 7'0, or big shows height and that is not the case because john tenta even stated that silva had show by two or three inches in 1999 and that is why after show came there they let go of silva and well kurrgan too.
BTW, next time keep the O in your name drk! Paul says on 24/Jun/09
drk, I recall seeing both of them on Youtube in a match. They appeared virtually the same height. Both 7'1 ? drk says on 24/Jun/09

Silva has his head tilted back and bent kneed, while khali is standing streight up. If silva would stand straight, he would have well over an inch on Khali. So clay, I say and logic says it isn't so.

Speaking of Giant Silva and his boots:

Those are probably close to 2 inches. The camera angle favors Silva big time with Akebono, though he is obviously much taller.
There was a ~ staredown between Silva and Singh though I’d need to see the lower bodies and footwear to help confirm who is taller. Click Here I still think Silva is at least one inch taller than Big Show. kinggollum says on 22/Jun/09

You wanna see an Andre and Khali match, Look up Silva vs Khali on youtube.
I never understood why WWE didn't just bring back Silva, he is taller than Khali and much better wrestler.
I haven't seen a single good staredown between Silva and Singh as of yet. What I have seen are Silva's gigantic boots (similar to the ones Kane use to wear). Singh wore Nike Airmax type sneakers (a 1.34" boost). Silva's boots must've give him an inch more in height. So if Silva is taller barefoot he must be noticably taller in those boots. Couldn't really see that in the videos I've seen of them both. They looked around the same height to me (but again we need a staredown to confirm that).
I've seen a video of them walking side by side in street cloths on the travel channel and Silva is clearly taller. I'll go to youtube and try and find it. Clay says on 22/Jun/09

If thats true the WWE roster is gonna get scared if Silva comes along. Khali at 6'11 was scary enough thank you. He beat up 6'7 Kane and Undertaker something severe and probably gave Big Show a bad stomach. kinggollum says on 19/Jun/09

both Big Show and Andre drank beer, which is why they had big bellies, Khali could've beaten Andre back in the day if Khali were a wrestler then.

At Backlash with the Great khali. This video is a little hard to get a hold of because it isnt on youtube.
I have to give show 6'11.5-7'0
btw I really think khali wears lifts because I was looking at some old info when he was a body builder and he was listed at 6'11 Danimal2009 says on 29/May/09
Big Show's height is 6 ft 11.5 in (212 cm)
peak height was 7 ft 0 in (213 cm)
Khali looks an inch and a half taller so yeah 7-1 is dead on. hs2009 says on 25/May/09

Here's Khali debut in pro wrestling at some low end circuit. Pretty cool to see, this was just after his BB career he looks absolutely freakish here. Atoadaso says on 22/May/09
Khali edged Shaq in that picture slightly. Pics with higher contrast and a horizontal line showed it; somebody posted it. Khali looked to be in his wrestling gear as well so with his flat soled shoes Shaq probably also had the footwear advantage. He seems to often wear large footwear off and on the court. I believe Shaq is 7'1" barefoot, so Khali would be between 7'1" and 7'1". James S says on 20/May/09
Shaq IS 7ft 1 dead on, and Khali IS pretty much dead on, that makes Khali 7ft 0.5- 7ft 1, I think theres enough info to back him being 7ft 1, but as tall as he is, 7ft 2 is out of the question. topdweeb says on 19/May/09

This is exactly how trolls get to you and why they stick around. You give them the EXACT attention they crave. Who cares about Jeremy, what he posts, or anything.

Nice man. Have seen him once in non-wrestling attire. He has impecable posture - stands ridiculously straight. Easily around 7' or so mark. Danimal says on 10/May/09

i'm 7'0.5" (2.15cm) but I don't bill myself 7'2 7'3 or 7'4", WWE exaggerates wrestlers people, it's their way. I do however pass for 7'1" and I only occasionally go with that.

Why would anyone 'bill' themselves, its a promotional tecnique used in the entertainment business, furthermore the wwe doesn't 'exaggerate' wrestlers they promote them, and bigger is obviously better. Jeremy says on 9/May/09

On Friday Night Smackdown, Jim Ross claimed Khali is 7'4", what a complete exaggeration, just like it was with Andre the Giant. And Big Show in his early days of WCW as "Giant". All have been billed 7'4" at some point. Khali is no more than 7'2". kinggollum says on 4/May/09
Sorry, but a Khali today is taller than a peak Show and Silva is taller than both at peak and now even. Clay says on 1/May/09

Danimal: Big Show lost weight when he lost weight???? HAHAHA.. Do you even know what you just wrote? People don't lose height when they lose weight. They can lose height by being TOO HEAVY though. I can by 6'6"-6'6.5" for Taker TODAY, but Randy Orton is AT LEAST 6'3" imo.
Steroids have an adverse affect on the body, not only to muscle mass but to height and size of internal organs such as the heart. Hulk Hogan used to be a legit 6'5-6"(billed 6'7-8") He stopped using in the late 80's early nineties. Not only did he become incredibly lean losing muscle mass but he also lost height. It happens a lot in sports where performance enhancing drugs are widely used.
Enlarged muscles have a seriously adverse affect on joints and over developed core muscles can develop height, deceptively so. Your core muscles give you your posture. Over developed core muscles, deprived of enhancing drugs, will decrease mass. During a weight loss program, much like the big show, the undertaker and JBL would have taken during their fat periods, not only would they have lost fat but also muscle atrophy would have occurred causing previously well supported bone structure to become more dependent on itself.
Undertaker WAS a legit 6'8". He put on a lot of weight during the american bad ass era and was told to lose weight because of his knee and hip problems. Again, Coming back leaner losing fat and muscle mass he lost height. Same happened to JBL(got fat, became a comentator, came back to the ring, was told to lose the weight, lost height too: was 6'5-6" now 6'4") It happens.
I should emphasize this would happen during the growth period of late teens to early 20's and taking steroids won't increase your height or change your bone growth, only muscle mass would change. Oh and by the way Shawn Michaels has lost height for similar reasons. He had back surgery after his fight with the undertaker and had his lower spine fused losing height. He has also lost a hell of a lot of muscle mass as he can't work out much anymore due to his surgery. Michaels is 5'11" at best. Check out the pic of him next to the 5'10" jericho. And Orton is at most 6'2-3". I wouldn't dispute your 6'4" if I hadn't seen a pic of him standing next to my 6'1" friend.miko: I felt that way too, that Big Show was at times, within .5" of Khali's height. But the problem is, the nutritionist who worked with Big Show described Big Show as nearly 7' so he's not quite 7'. Khali looks dead on with 7' 1 Shaq, so Khali's 7' 1 status is pretty much safe for now. So, that means Big Show can't be within .5" of Khali and not even 1" in fact. So I think Clay is right, which sucks to admit because I gave him a lot of crap about him saying Khali is 1.5" taller than Big Show... but hey, if he's right he's right.In some pics when Big Show really forces his posture, he's got to within 0.5" of Khali, if he had hair like he had in the 90's he'd look the same height as Khali, with the top of Khali's head being a fraction higher.
I don't really agree with the Big Show having massively bigger footwear than Khali, perhaps 0.5" at the maximum Clay: I guess I have to agree with you since I don't think Big Show is quite 7' anymore. So I guess I'd say you're right, that Khali might have a solid 1.5" on Show. Putting Show at 6' 11.5 and Khali at 7' 1.
For the record, I don't think Big Show was ever a legit 7' 1 even though he was listed as that in college basketball. I think that measurement was in shoes. Barefoot, I think his max height was 7', if he lost any height at all.

Singh is 7'1" he was measured barefoot by the Indian Bodybuilding Federation clearly. Looks every inch of it, he would have made a good Jaws in James Bond, acromegely giant! He is actually quite a cool dude in real life, wears trendy clothes and shades and a nice girlfriend, not really freaky just gigantic thats all. I've often wondered when the day will come that the WWF genetically engineer a wrestler to reach 8 feet. Freaky

No way, Khali is same or 0.5 Inches taller at the most, its all hype.

Khali - 7ft 1 at most
Big Show - 7ft steady
I'll maintain right now between them theres at least 1.5 inches barefeet. |
