Then, there's noway he is a legit 6'6... Still very tall, but not 6'6! He might be 6'6.5 out of bed and 6'5.25 at his low, but i doubt he's much over it!
Did he look taller than 6'5.5 Rick Fox in person?
Editor Rob
Fox could look as low as 6ft 5, Joshua certainly walked taller...

You could argue Calvin Harris range at 197cm but he looks near 6'6 to me. Perhaps 6'5.75 as James says might be on the money. I'd say it safe to assume he hits 6'6 at some point in the day, the question is how much he dips under it.

It's hard to tell if he's taller than Wladimir, and if he is taller, by how much? There's not much in it that's for sure.

And I'm not sure how tall Gary Lineker is, but anyways, here he is getting dwarfed by AJ.

I'm almost 6'6'' and my head is 11 inches long. What makes you think Joshua's head is shorter? He's 6'6''.
Editor Rob
mine is 9.5 inch, I'm not sure his would be 1.5 inch longer, but he was doing a photo with frank bruno this day and bruno has a wider/longer head I thought.
Andrea said on 15/Dec/15
Rob, actually he doesn't look any taller than Big C... Click Here
That guy was measured 6'5 1/8th and he doesn't look shorter, actually a hair taller!
And, if you consider Joshua is also wearing 0.3 more shoes, he does look 6'5ish in the photo actually!
You should take a picture with a real 6'6 guy, to show how tall a REAL 6'6 would look next to a strong 5'8 guy like you!!!
Also, even though there's about a 0.7 inch swing in footwear, Daniel Cudmore gives a slightly taller impression next to you! So he can't be just half an inch shorter than Daniel barefoot, but probably at least a solid inch... And Daniel himself came out with 6'6.5!
Editor Rob
did he look (ignoring footwear) as tall as Cudmore? Maybe not so.

Looking again I see more like 1/2 inch range above his chin so with a 10 inch head that's 9.5 then minus 1/4 inch footwear you'll get 9.25 inches. Rob 5'8.25 and Anthony 6'5.5
Alex 6'0 said on 15/Dec/15
Andrea, I pretty much agree with you. I don't see a full 6'6. I'm gonna go with 6'5.5 but 6'5.25 is possible too. 10 inch head. Looks a 9.5 inch difference take away 1/3 footwear and you get 6'5.25 likely. Certainly not over 6'5.5 though
Alex 6'0 said on 15/Dec/15
10 inch head I can see but Rob's head is prob an inch above his chin plus the slight footwear Id give this guy more 6'5.5
Andrea said on 15/Dec/15
Yes, they are not ideal photos but still I doubt Wlad would be a couple cms shorter! Without looking at his footwear, did he look a good inch taller than the 196 challenger in person?
Editor Rob
yes he could look taller than #15...how much is debatable.
Andrea said on 15/Dec/15
One inch above his chin actually is "not that much" :)
I can certainly believe he was taller than a guy like Rory Mccann who claims 6'6, yeah, but doesn't look over 6'4.5 with you (I mean Rory)! A fraction above 6'5 isn't impossible for this guy but a big 6'6? He just doesn't look it with you and Wlad! There are no pictures where he looks taller than Wlad... You can say they would measure very similar but i doubt Anthony would be 0.75 inches taller!
In this case, you can say Wlad is the honest one and probably is "cutting" a fraction when he says to be 6'5 and this guy maybe measured a hair above 6'5 and just rounded up to 6'6...
Editor Rob
it's tricky from the photos with vlad to really say what difference. Would like to see them in a staredown...


Andrea said on 14/Dec/15
Yeah, 10 inch head is believable... You look about an inch above his chin, so that's 9 inches, let's say 9 good inches AT MOST. Considering the fact you're 5'8.25, you can say he can pull off 6'5.5 in the picture (certainly not over though). Take away 0.3 inches and 6'5-6'5.25 is probably his barefoot range! I'm sure a guy like Big Ali, who is a legit 6'6, would be taller than him!
Editor Rob
I don't think I was that much above his chin, but he did seem taller than some guys who claim 6ft 6 (like nonso anozie and rory mccann), although I think he has a slightly above eyelevel for his height.
movieguy said on 13/Dec/15
On a side noticed from weigh in of Joshua vs Whyte that Eddie Hearn the promoter is really tall. Pretty much eye to eye with 6'6'' Joshua. Hearn isn't really a celebrity I suppose but when you are a height obsessive you can't help but notice these things.
Travis said on 13/Dec/15
Gaining weight or getting bigger Photos don't make u taller
Andrea said on 13/Dec/15
For those who say that he looks 6'6 with Rob, look at Big Ali with Michael Rooker who is supposed to be 5'9... Unless this guy has a 11 inches head or he's losing an inch in posture, he doesn't look 6'6! He looks a good 6'5, but considering he has got more shoes, 6'5 flat is what he looks HERE! And that also makes sense if you look him with Wlad...

Very rare to see boxers/MMA fighters/wrestlers whose height listing is legit spot on.
James B said on 13/Dec/15
Rob maybe give this guy 6'5.75 since you think he is 6'5.5-6'6
pablo77bar(184cm) said on 12/Dec/15
Rob, do you really think that a guy like Hopper is a big 1 inch smaller ? They are quite close,and one had the advantage of the footwear.
EzioAuditore711 said on 12/Dec/15
Doesn't look under 6'6'' to me.
pablo77bar(184cm) said on 12/Dec/15
Very simillar to the Big C
Rob,do you think that he is a potential Clive Russell ?
joe @@ said on 12/Dec/15
clearly higher than Joe Manganiello
Andrea said on 12/Dec/15
Then do you think an inch has gone away, Rob? He doesn't look 6'6 in the picture, that's for sure!
Editor Rob
I think his head would be near 10 inches, so I'd say he looks over 6ft 5. You could argue 6ft 5.5
The Exorcist said on 12/Dec/15
He's about the same as Wladimir Klitschko.

6'5.25"- 6'5.5" range.
S.J.H said on 12/Dec/15
Look more like 6'5.5 consider he had long head and 0.3inch more shoe as rob say. Really not quite 6'6 and maybe measure earlier day at 6'6 could be possible?
... said on 12/Dec/15
He's smaller than Vladimir Klitschko - 6'5.
kaplaaa said on 12/Dec/15
Some people will say he is a strong 6"5 rather than the full 6"6, but I think he really is that tall. Next to other fighters he looks it consistently.
TJE said on 11/Dec/15
6'5.5'6'5.75
Mathew Robinson (190 cm) said on 11/Dec/15
He could be rounding up. Taking into account the footwear advantage he should look about 199 cm, yet doesn't quite really.
Gaz said on 11/Dec/15
Glad you're adding more ombat sports athletes recently keep them coming! and I would say he is 6'6. Would like to see him and Fury next to each other.
Emil 183 cm said on 11/Dec/15
@Rob
Judging from the picture he looks more 6'5 range. Did he look 6'6 in person?
Canson said on 11/Dec/15
Rob,

He looks 6'5ish with you. Your head comes near where a 5'8 person would on me and I'm mid 6'4 at my lowest!!!
mrtguy said on 11/Dec/15
Solid 10 inches.
miko said on 11/Dec/15
A full 6'6 Rob? I do think he's in that range but he has looked a tad under it a few times. Great posture.
Andrea said on 11/Dec/15
Considering he also has more shoes, he definitely looks more 6'5 range than 6'6! Also, he doesn't look any taller than Wlad... If anything, Wlad can look taller in some photos!
It seems you are a bit generous with these boxers you're meeting, Rob! Well, except for Big Wlad :)
Editor Rob
up close he was taller than 6ft 5 guys for sure. I watched him with a few people in this queue and 6ft 5.5-6 range he generally looked with them...
