He must be one of the first boxers to be genuinely listed lower than he actually is. He is stated to be 5'11 in every fight. Although judging by his lean with you, he must be taller.
Jack says on 16/Jan/12
Then why is he listed at 5'11"(180 cm) almost everywhere?
[Editor Rob:
Joe claims 6ft for his height.
if he was 5ft 11 then he would have looked about 5ft 10.5 considering he had about 0.4 inch less sneaker than my inch heel.
He just did not look that small to me, I saw him with quite a few folk that day.
] Theman says on 15/Dec/11
Calzaghe i belive is around 182cm just shy of the full 6 foot. I doubt hes had a growth spurt he probably is a little taller throughout the day due to no training. So hes probably abit taller for longer. MD says on 5/Dec/11
I'll stop being "rude" when you stop spamming pages with multiple, consecutive posts, okay? Thanks. Shaun says on 4/Dec/11
MD seriously you need to chill out mate. You come across as very rude. Michael says on 26/Nov/11
I bet it's awesome meeting all these celebrities Rob! Plus I always expected Joe to be about 6 ft 5, obviously I was incorrect.

Come on; let's get real, here. He is not 6'0", nor has he ever been.

This guy was always 5'11" at the very most...just as he was listed throughout nearly his entire career. Let's quit this silliness. Shaun says on 23/Nov/11
Shaun says on 12/Nov/11
I still think of him as a flat 5'11" guy, but I guess Rob saw him at 6'.
[Editor Rob: he just never looked as short as 5ft 10.5 that day (which would make him 5ft 11 basically with sneaker disadvantage).]
I trust your judgement, although it would seem odd for a sportsman to downgrade their height!! Especially in a sport where intimidation is key.

Well Rob Gordon Ramsay had an least 2 inches on him and as we know he is not a legit 6'2". Josh B says on 10/Oct/11
My apologies, Woody is 5'9.5 as opposed to the 5'9 i thought he was. That would mean 5'9.75 for Baker is pretty accurate as 0.25 of a centimeter is easily unrecognizable. Josh B says on 8/Oct/11
@HULK
If i may i'd like to use your pic to demonstrate that Simon Baker is the same height as Woody Harrelson in that pic. As we have suspected, Rob, he's closer to 5'9 than 5'10. HULK says on 1/Oct/11

Anyone know how old he was when he had a year out of boxing and the growth spurt? johno says on 21/Sep/11
Honestly, in the above picture, he must take the record for looking the shortest looking 6'0 next to rob/mamun.
If calzaghe were to stand straight and taking his footwear disadvantage into perspective, i would say that the tip of robs head would be slightly above or inline with calzaghe's eyebrow. Which means, theres alot of lost height and compression in calzaghe's posedown with rob in the above pic.
I remember a 6'4 listed, gameshow host, vernon kay dwarfing him on itvs ''beat the star''. The difference was not less then 5 inches solid. Theres actually pictures of them two together. johno says on 21/Sep/11

Rob is there a chance Joe is under 6ft i think he is more 5ft 11in than 6ft maybe 6ft in trainers and 5ft 11in barefoot do you agree with me.
[Editor Rob: there is always a chance, but this guy looked near 5ft 11.5 to me but then he had 0.4 inch less sneakers...
if he was 5ft 11, he would have looked 5ft 10.5 to me which is unbelievable to me.] Shaun says on 19/Jun/11
Looks an easy 6' next to 6'2.5" David Haye. If the man says he is 6' and Rob has seen him several times and thinks he looks a solid 6' then that is surely good enough? Sports listings are not always correct. They often underlist Mark Philippoussis too as a flat 6'4" when he is 6'5" range. jay says on 17/May/11
alex says on 15/Feb/11
Hi, big boxing fan here.
He's 5'11" he even says so in his autobiography, on his boxrec page and on his hbo and sky box office fights he was always listed at that height
[Editor Rob: would this be the same auotbiography where Joe says:
"In my year out of boxing I had a growth spurt, to a height of six feet, but I was still a couple of years away from shaving....I was a slow developer, maybe I'd stunted my growth through all the years of making weight" ?]
-----------------------------------
come on rob, seriously?!, the man retired from boxing in 2008 and hes 39 now, you HONESTLY think he had a growth spurt of 1 inch at the age of 36-37...? no chance in hell, hes 100% 5'11 as hes listed everywhere
[Editor Rob: the quote is in his book. You mustn't have read the quote properly because he he mentions how he was still a couple of years away from shaving. Of course, he's talking about his teenage years, not his 30's.] thorterr says on 25/Apr/11
he looks like a skinny wee dude with a fresh innocent face(im not talking about you rob)hard to imagine hes a world boxing champion and 6ft aswell greg says on 20/Mar/11
did he seem taller the 5ft 11.75 danny dyer rob?
[Editor Rob: both pretty similar] MD says on 14/Mar/11
Truth,
Instead of just telling us that, put in the simple effort to link us to the phot. Truth says on 14/Mar/11
Looooot at Joe calzaghe next to 5'10 charlie sheen!!!!!
In google images SAK says on 13/Mar/11
He is 5ft11.5/181.5cm
this photo(taking into account shoe disadvantage), and other photos I seen of him prove he is not full 6ft0. jrock says on 9/Mar/11
also rob you really need to downgrade him, hes listed everywhere as 5'11 and i dont know why they would underlist him for boxing
Click Here
thats the pro boxing record keeping website, hes 5'11 there so im pretty sure thats his height
[Editor Rob: I seen the man several times. If he was only 5ft 11 he should have looked around 5ft 10.5 because he had 0.4 inch less shoe than me. I never saw him looking that range.
There is an unquestionable quote at the top of the page by Joe (for those who didn't believe he told me himself he was 6 foot :) )...maybe that gives an idea why some 5ft 11 listings existed very early in his career.
] Detox says on 9/Mar/11
He has always been listed as 5'11.5" his whole boxing career. Look's it too. jrock says on 7/Mar/11

His biceps are the size of small children,, he dosent look 6 foot tho

] Rino says on 10/Feb/11
i always thought he was a 6fter but most websites have him down as 5ft 11-flat
i think hes 5'11.5 next to Roy jones jr whos a strong 5'11- so no more than 5'11.5
thers a pic of him next to david haye whos given 6'3 but is really 6'2--6'2.5 joe calzaghe looks 2/2.5 inches shorter than david haye---its quite confusing!! Dominic says on 10/Feb/11
Rob if his eyes line up with the top of your head both bare feet, does that make him a 6fter?
[Editor Rob: it would be near 185cm for that] Dominic says on 7/Feb/11
Rob can you explain why he's listed at 6' when you only have a 1cm/.4in height advantage? Call me blind but even assuming the disadvantage against you, he looks like 5'10.5 ( I see his head finishing 2 inches above yours)
[Editor Rob: he looked nearer 5ft 11.5 than 5ft 11 to me, when not counting the shoe difference.] Rich says on 1/Feb/11
Calzaghe is 5ft11 according to most of his boxing statistics and there usually quite accurate SAK says on 31/Jan/11
I use to think he was 6ft0, but I think he's actually a weak 5ft11(180cm) now, He needs a downgrade, at least to 181cm/5ft11. Anonymous says on 31/Jan/11
He is no more than 5'-11" barefoot (looks about 3 inches taller than Rob) Anonymous says on 30/Jan/11
When someone is 5'11.5" they will usually just say 6'0". I think he needs to be downgraded to 182cm. James says on 30/Jan/11
Tom Jones is no more than 5'10 (178cm) today. He was 5'10.5 as a young man though. Philip says on 30/Jan/11

Rob, is there another pic with Calzaghe? he has this "monster-slouch" that some guys do when standing next to shorter people :)
[Editor Rob: thats only shot I have, unfortunately I wanted to do a fist pose.] Jimmy says on 26/Jan/11
5'11 and that's accounting for the slouch.
Other 6' people look taller standing next to Rob. miko says on 26/Jan/11
You'd agree that he was a weak 6"0 though Rob?
Maybe more 5"11.75 than 6"0.25 if you know what I mean.
[Editor Rob: there's always a chance.] MD says on 25/Jan/11
I honestly can't figure ouot why he's being given a full 6'0" when he doesn't claim it.

Hes a 5'11 guy...hes no way a flat 183cm..from this pic he looks 176cm lol but theres something up..he stood next to james corden on " a league of their own" and had james by about 2-3 inches. james is about 5'9 so id put joe at 181-182cm ArjunaKoral says on 24/Jan/11
Rob, Mate:
Calzaghe is 182cm (5ft 11.5in) & no more! Calzaghe has even said so himself in his autobiography entitled "No Ordinary Joe"!!! Please check it yourself! Still this is tall for a supermiddleweight boxer. Please could u do an entry on new suppermiddleweight king Carl Froch - i much prefer him over Joe. Froch boxes much more classically, & unlike Joe (a figher with a v ugly fighting style) is beautiful to watch!!! Joe says on 24/Jan/11
looks to be a comfortable 6'0. reg says on 23/Jan/11
Rob did Joe seem taller then 511.75 Danny Dyer?Cheers.

its a slouch some people too quick to judge on here.rob wouldnt put his height as 6ft if it wasnt the case. Derek d says on 22/Jan/11
5'9 and a half? Why do people here view pictures so simple minded? Lol he's slouching guys... Use your imagination and think of what he would look like if he was standing up straight. Probably around 6 ft as listed. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 22/Jan/11
If he's a good couple of inches taller won't that make him 6"0.5(184cm)?

looks about five nine and a half in this pic James says on 21/Jan/11

rob do you agre he looks 5'10.5 (179cm) with poor posture in this pic?
[Editor Rob: well he's a good couple of inches taller.
] Goliath of Gath says on 21/Jan/11
Sometimes a guy who is 6 feet with a strong build of 200 lbs or more might appear more 5 -11 ish, than say a 6 foot man who is 170 and looks 6-1 ish. Slender guys sometimes appear taller.
Take JFK for instance. He was 6 ft 0, 172 lb and appeared quite tall when comparing the 5-11.5 Richard Nixon who had a shorter looking build, but within 1 inch of Kennedy.
I think Joe is more closer to 5-11 than 6 ft. MD says on 20/Jan/11
He's 5'11.5", always has been, and simply rounds up. Shaun says on 20/Jan/11
Editor Rob: he said 6 feet to me, you don't get more official than that ;)
Justin Timberlake said he was "nearly 6'2" though LOL. What people say they are and what they actually are often doesn't match. I'd agree though he has always looked a strong 5'11" but I doubt he'd have been listed at 182cm throughout his career if that wasn't really his height. Why would he have been listed lower than what he actually was? He's rounding up a cm. Lmeister says on 20/Jan/11
Rob are you afraid to put his official listing 182cm ;) No big deal he probably hits 6ft in the morning.
[Editor Rob: he said 6 feet to me, you don't get more official than that ;)
the times I saw him that day up close I thought, this fella looks taller than 5ft 11 flat (i.e. 5ft 11.5, considering I had 0.4 inch more shoe than him).

Spot on Rob.
I've seen Calzaghe close up, everyone thinks he's 5"10/5"11 due to "boxers posture", but he's damn near 6"0. He could be 5"11.5. SAK says on 19/Jan/11
He does not look 6ft0 in this pic, but he does have shoes disadvantage, and it looks like he is trying to b same height as Rob, when taking pic.
I have seen him in his boxing matches, always looks around 5ft11-6ft0. |
