@Robbe: I’d give Vitaly maybe 6’6.75 at a low. Wilder maybe 6’6.25 at a low which is fair but I don’t rule out 6’6.5 next to 6’6 (6’6.5 peak) Dominique Wilkins
Robbe said on 23/Nov/23
If Vitali is as listed, then Wilder is easily 6'6.5 Click Here Click Here

@ Nolbleyuite,

"6'6.5"......Nah lol

@Rob

How tall would you guess the girl next to Wilder in the image above?
Editor Rob
Looks a good 10 inches taller, plus footwear difference maybe 2-2.5 inches and his posture could be dropping another 2 inches.
Jordan87 said on 14/Nov/22
@ Robbe,

Gotcha but Wilder still has more footwear than Robert. I still got Robert a Smidge over Wilder which to me stops any 6'6 + Listings for Wilder. Robert is listed at 6'6" and 6'6.5, doesn't mean he is that height, Likely a bit shorter b/c......its.....a ....Boxing......Listing lol
Robbe said on 12/Nov/22
@Jordan87, camera angle is pretty low in your pic. In this pic angle is perfect Click Here

Robert is tilting his head a bit more than Deontay, that's why Robert's eyeline looks slightly higher than Deontay's. I really think both guys are 6'6.5.

Wilder vs Tyson Click Here

Tyson having more footwear there Click Here

So, Tyson with footwear advantage appears only about an inch taller than Wilder, so Tyson can't be much over 6'7. Tops 6'7.25.

Back to This shot, Robert Def looks taller, that's with Wilder looking like he has the Shoe Advantage easily. Wilder not proven to be taller, Possible, but right now I'm seeing Robert A Bit taller.
Jordan87 said on 17/Oct/22
Actually come to think of it, Wilder does have a Shoe Advantage, and still really doesn't look much taller- if any!

Click Here

Heh Heh, And here we thought we were done!
Jordan87 said on 17/Oct/22
I didn't see Wilder as Taller, I saw in most of the pictures, Helenius having a higher eye level. ( Most of the time ) They looked really close in height.

Robert's 6'6.5 listing would have to be legit ( Its boxing, so its most likely not), I will assume both are the 6'6 Range. I used to have Wilder mid day height tat 6'5.75", I got him now at 6'6" Mid Day- I am assuming Robert is 6'6" and is not taller then Wilder, despite some pictures showing him taller.

@ Duhon, Tyson Fury is 6'7, as he was listed before he blew up.

Wilder I bet dips below 6'6 at the end of the day, not by much. 6'5.75" something like that.


And I doubt we will be getting more face off pictures with Wilder and Helenius seeing as Robert should retire after that brutality.
Gman42 said on 17/Oct/22
Seems that Wilder had a slight footwear advantage at weigh-in and looked a hair taller, so I think he and Robert are essentially the same height. 6'6 to 6'6.5 range, I'll go with 6'6.25. And Fury is about 1.25 inches taller.
Canson said on 17/Oct/22
I sort of agree with 184guy. However, I don’t know if Wilder is a solid 199 and may be 198-199 range instead
Duhon said on 16/Oct/22
There is absolutely no basis to assume Wilder is below 6'6" seeing him next to Tyson Fury and Helenius.
Mickie said on 16/Oct/22
Wilder looked a whisker taller than Helenius there, but seemed to have a slight footwear advantage. Both guys are really close in height imo.
JD1996 said on 15/Oct/22
@Jordan87 that’s fine to disagree bro we don’t all see things the same sometimes we all see different pictures or videos and will obviously come out with different estimations as a result and no one ever is going to agree with every single celebrity height prediction anyway.
JD1996 said on 15/Oct/22
@Robbe yeah I was surprised wilder definitely looked a bit taller tbh. Might have to revaluate my estimate of wilder I made few days ago, I may have underestimated his height a bit will have to see what it looks like when they are in the boxing ring and touch gloves. The boxing ring is good to see height differences because of equal foot ware as long as they both stand tall say when touching gloves.
Mickie said on 15/Oct/22
Helenius specifically claims 199.5 cm. Not just 6'6".
184guy2 said on 15/Oct/22
Both Helenius and Wilder are 199cm guys
Robbe said on 15/Oct/22
No big difference at weigh in also Click Here

I think it's pretty safe to say Wilder is not under 6'6. His shoes did look slightly thicker than Helenius though, but at most 0.25in Click Here

I think Wilder is pretty much as listed. With 0.25in more footwear he looks slightly taller than Helenius, who is not under 6'6.5. It all makes sense, cause Wilder doesn't look much shorter than 6'7 Vitali.

Tyson looks definitely taller than Helenius and Vitali, compared to Wilder. So there's zero chance Tyson is under 6'7.
CreepX said on 15/Oct/22
Robbe: Wilder had a shoe advantage there.
CreepX said on 14/Oct/22
We can see the shoes: Click Here
Mickie said on 14/Oct/22
Funny how Helenius looks taller than he really is in so many photos. He looked the same height as Wilder basically on video.
Jordan87 said on 14/Oct/22
Click Here

This new shot is from the Weigh in. The other photos I posted were from the final presser.

I am not seeing Wilder as taller. Helenius has the hat on which is tight to his skull if you look. Wilder has his O-Dogg hairstyle, but I think Robert Edges him if anything, very small amount. Wilder is slightly looking up to Helenius, who eyes are def higher.

Currently - I got Wilder at 6'5.75 as his true height. Morning height- 6'6 to 6'6.25 early Am however.
Robbe said on 14/Oct/22
Wilder looked actually slightly taller than Helenius in their first staredown.

Helenius is looking up at Wilder there. But let's see how they look at the weigh in.

Looks very close to Helenius
Unfortunely we can't see the shoes
Jordan87 said on 13/Oct/22
@ JD1996 and Canson,

I disagree, I Believe Wilder looks 6'5.75 to 6'6" more then he looks' 6'6.5". I get its celebheights and we love to fight over 1/2" for people who will never know who were are, however I think If Wilder comes in Shorter than Helenius, that's gonna be a cracker for me. If Wilder is actually shorter then Helanius, He does in fact dip below 6'6 during the day.

Helanius reported 6'6 and is listed at 6'6, 6'6.5. Again, He could be very well shorter than that. You guys already know Boxers always get a little extra in their listings ( Holyfield Listed 6'2.5- proven at 6'1, Tyson listed at 5'11.5- Proven at 5'10, Tyson Fury listed at 6'9, Past listings at 6'7) , but Assuming Helenius is 6'6 ( as he was listed at times), lets see how Wilder does in an actual stare-down.

If What you guys are saying is true, I feel Wilder has to look a SOLID 1/2" Taller then Robert. Again If he is shorter then RObert ( Like 3 past pics Show) this Saturday, that's gonna matter alot.
JD1996 said on 12/Oct/22
@Canson Yeah I would say wilder around 6’6.25” is about right he’s probably like 201 cm out of bed or something.
Canson said on 8/Oct/22
@JD1996: he looks 6’6.5 with Wilkins assuming Nique is 6’6 today which I believe he still may be unless he’s lost that much height since he turned 60. Maybe Wilkins is 6’5.75 though or had disadvantage with the camera and maybe Wilder is 6’6.25. That’s the best case
JD1996 said on 6/Oct/22
@Canson yeah same
Canson said on 6/Oct/22
@JD1996: worst case that his extreme low is under but I doubt it.
Jordan87 said on 4/Oct/22
Canson,

In the Wilkins post, Wilder did look taller for sure however in many other pics, ( Shaq, Helenius ( 3X), Melo, Tyson Fury and Now Joyce) he struggles to look much taller than 6'6".

If I would have to guess, he is under 6'6 for half the day.

Lets see what the upcoming Helenius pics tell us. I myself have pretty good seats for this fight. Thinking Wilder bombs him but Robert is tricky and long.
JD1996 said on 4/Oct/22
I wouldn’t say wilder dips below 6’6” 198 cm any time of day I reckon his low is around 198.5 cm give or take couple of mm. He looks 6’6” plus with ALMOST everyone from what I’ve seen. Could be a very very slim chance he dips a couple mm below 6’6” maybe at an extreme low on a very rare day once in a blue moon.
Canson said on 3/Oct/22
No way wilder is under 6’6”. He looks over it most of the time. I posted a pic with Dominique Wilkins and he looked taller although it is probably due to camera angle. Wilkins is likely 6’6 even still today. Worst case if he’s lost height he’s 6’5.75” perhaps. He was a peak 199 range guy though
Jordan87 said on 3/Oct/22
@ Reece and JD1996

For a portion of the day , I think he dips below 6'6". I feel for most of the day is is over 6'5.5" pretty easily.

I would like very much to see the upcoming Face off between Wilder and Robert.

I will also be attending this fight , Its 20 mins from my Home.
JD1996 said on 2/Oct/22
@reece I wouldn’t say he’s less than 6’6” but some people will.
Reece said on 1/Oct/22
So now Wilder is less than 6 foot 6?
Jordan87 said on 26/Sep/22
@ Mickie,

Yes I agree, the heights are not always solid, but based on what I have seen, Most of the time in football if you see two different listings, the shorter one is usually accurate. NFL is not as bad as WWE, but they tend to round up.

And Yes, Wilder has Sandals and a lean but I don't think he would be much taller then Joyce.

I think for sure if Wilder is as tall as 6'6", its early in the day.
Ben - 6'1.5 said on 25/Sep/22
Even if Joyce has a bit more footwear there’s no way that Wilder’s taller than him. I say wilder struggles with 6’6.
Ben - 6'1.5 said on 25/Sep/22
Joe Joyce is taller than Wilder, Rob. Click Here
Editor Rob
He can have a slight edge there, although I don't believe their posture/footwear is equal.
JD1996 said on 25/Sep/22
@mickie that’s an interesting picture of wilder and Joe Joyce I think Joe Joyce is taller than people would expect him to be, even if wilder is perhaps at a half inch footwear disadvantage.
Mickie said on 22/Sep/22
@ Jordan - no I'm not saying that, I don't think 6'7" is an actual measurement either. I'm saying that the particular football website has heights listed down to the 1/8 inch but some of them are from official measurements and some of them are not. They will sometimes have to change the players height listing after an official measurement comes out higher or lower than they had it, and occasionally the difference can be as much as an inch.

Speaking of Wilder's height though, not the best height pic of him with Joe Joyce Click Here
Jordan87 said on 20/Sep/22
@ Mickie,

It was a Measurement, but your not saying that his 6'7 boxing listing is a measurement?
Mickie said on 17/Sep/22
We don't know if the Breazele height was even a measurement.
JD1996 said on 16/Sep/22
Reece yeah he can certainly look 201-202 range in this instance
Reece said on 15/Sep/22
Vitali looks huge next to Lamar.

He can actually pull of looking close to 202cm if Lamar was really measured at 6 foot 8.75/9 with the footwear disadvantage which is probably at least half a inch.
Jordan87 said on 13/Sep/22
@ JD1996

Don't take Brezeales Boxing Measurement as Gospel. That would be really bad.

If we did, then Tyson would be 5'11.5, Holyfield 6'2, Fury 6'9, Etc.

Football Measurement is tons more accurate and reliable than a Boxing Measurement. lol
Jordan87 said on 13/Sep/22
@ Robbe,

Assuming Tyson is 5'10 Still ( May not Be) , Ruiz doesn't make 6'0 with Him. Tyson Is Leaning.

Ruiz is 5'11.5" IMO, maybe 5'11.75". Ruiz would be the 6'1.75" on a Good day to me.

Click Here
JD1996 said on 12/Sep/22
@robbe yeah I can buy 6’7” for vitali as well basing on how he stacks up with Lamar odom and the fact he has a foot ware disadvantage at the same time.
Robbe said on 11/Sep/22
Ortiz can't be under 6'2 cause he is easily 2in taller than 6ft Andy Ruiz. There are many pics of their staredown on the net. Also, somebody asked me recently how do i know Vitali is 6'7? Have i measured him? Well, of course i haven't, but Lamar Odom has been measured 6'9 without shoes by the NBA. Here he is with 6'4.75 Kobe Bryant, and Vitali Click Here

Vitali is on boxing shoes there, while Lamar is wearing an inch sneakers. I really can't see Vitali under 6'7 with Lamar there.

Wilder with Vitali Click Here

If Wilder is 6'5.75 then Vitali is no more than 6'6. I don't think so. That would mean Vitali is only 1.25in taller than Kobe. And Wilder only an inch taller than Kobe. Just look at the first pic i just posted. There's more than just 1.25in between Kobe and Vitali.

And as far as i know, Helenius is not listed 6'6 by any site. He has always been listed 6'6.5 by boxrec, and google has him at 6'7. He said once, "im 200cm. Well, to be exact, im 199,5cm".

Waiting for the press conference, and their first staredown. Robert is no shorter than mentioned 199,5cm so Wilder's height should be pretty striaghforward with him. All the pics posted so far are not good due to Helenius is closer to the camera in all of them.
JD1996 said on 10/Sep/22
I don’t take brezeales 6’6” football measured as gospel.
Jordan87 said on 8/Sep/22
@ Robbe, Ortiz has looked taller in pics wit wilder than that one however how do you know he is 6'2 Minimum? I used to Think Dillion Whyte was 6'3, and With Joshua without socks he looked below 6'2. I was shocked.

Breazeale's height is more proven than Ortiz. Breazale at least has Football Numbers.

Holyfield at 6'1 got 1.5" Added to his height. When they List Ortiz at 6'3, he could be in theory as low as 6'1.5". Lets See Wilder and Helenius, If Wilder is shorter ( Like he looked in some pictures) then we will know for a fact that Wilder is under 6'6, b/c Helenius reports 6'6 and gets listed at 6'6.

These Boxer heights are inflated tons, as previously shown. A 5'10 guy like Tyson got 5'11.5 Billings and even 6'0 billings early in his career. Wilder listed at 6'7, can easily be 6'5.-6'5.75.

Also, Another odd Thing about Wilder...is his reach is not that Long for his height. Look at pics of Fury and Wilder when they Face off with their Arms both at their sides.

Fury's Arm is longer by 3", EACH. I compared Wilder's Arm length to guys Like Lewis, Carl Williams, Jose Ribalta, Tony tucker and believe it or not, his Arms are shorter despite him being taller then those guys.

All I know is his once punch KO power is a real thing. You can't teach chin. The guys that Wilder has Put away in One shot may not have had the skills of the guys Ali fought in his day but they are alot larger. Wilder does throw his whole body into shots at times. Scary man.
Robbe said on 8/Sep/22
Wilder doesn't look a hair under 6'6 with Luis Ortiz, who is minimum 6'2 Click Here
Jordan87 said on 6/Sep/22
@ Mickie,

Agree, Maricano ( I love his style, very Entertaining Fighter and a straight up Dog) Would get mopped up by modern guys like Whyte, Ortiz, Ruiz, not even the cream of the crop heavies now

@ Robbe,

I'm hoping to get some Good Stardowns, My recent Discovery is Breazeal was listed at 6'6 in Football, making Wilder......Not 6'6. Football Listings are overlisted, not underlisted. Secondly, Wilder himself comes off in Photos With Melo and Helanius under 6'6. At times he looks 1" shorter than Fury, Others he looks 1/2", Sometimes 1.25". Fury is not taller than 6'7. he's not. That was his listing before he went " Superstar". Holyfield is 6'1, Listed 6'2.5, Tyson 5'10, lsited 5'11.5, Forman 6'2.5, Listed 6'4, ......Its a Patter, Fury listed at 6'7, no wait, now 6'9. Its BS. Fury at 6'7 means wilder 6'5.75 -----usually.

@ Canson

Issue is Wilder must constantly take bad Angles pics b/c besides heleanius, Even some basketball Players have looked taller than Him, Melo Etc. I will say that I'm not letting the Breazale thing go. The man was listed at 6'6 ( and 6'7) and I'm by no means convinced football listings are under listed. If anything they are over listed. 6'6 Football Measurement means to me he can't be much taller than that considering they are normally done in the morning. Breazele is for certain 1/2" Solid on Wilder. Does that mean I think Wilder is 6'5.5, Maybe by end of day, yes. If Wilder is 6'6, I don't think its for long after the am Hours...
Jordan87 said on 6/Sep/22
@ Canson ,

I think some Helenius Face Off are in order. In theory Wilder should look taller, but this far has not.

I def See Wilder under 6'6 , he was a tad shorter than Breazeal who was listed at 6'6 in Football. If Fury is 6'7 ( Which he was listed at before becoming Popular) Then Wilder is a dip under 6'6.
Robbe said on 3/Sep/22
Like Canson said, it's very unlikely Wilder is under 6'6. If we look at Helenius/Washington face of, Helenius looks 1.5in taller there Click Here

Now, Wilder/Washington face of Click Here

Helenius and Wilder looks pretty much the same there, 6'6.5.

Washington is listed at 6'6, but obviously he is shorter than that. Breazeale is taller than Wilder, so he can't be just 6'6. He is somewhere between 6'6.5/6'7. Helenius has stated many times in Finnish media he is exactly 199,5cm, so reckon he really is that height.

My guess is, you can't see any difference when Helenius and Wilder atands tall face to face without shoes. Left to be seen 😎
Canson said on 1/Sep/22
@Jordan: I doubt Wilder is under 6’6. He actually looked taller than Dominique Wilkins although maybe he had camera advantage or footwear. Fury is likely over 6’7” by a bit. Joshua may have been 6’5 1/2 or 6’5 5/8 and Wlad 6’5.25”
Mickie said on 31/Aug/22
Personally I don't see Marciano holding up against the very top guys at heavyweight of pretty much any era after his own. He was an extremely tough guy and a talented fighter but he'd be too physically limited to take on a Mike Tyson, a Tyson Fury, a Lennox Lewis etc. To be fair he's a cruiser weight at most by modern standards. He could probably cut to light heavy even.
Jordan87 said on 30/Aug/22
At Mickie yeah, Tyson's Footwork and head movement he had was incredible. I understand Fully that his " Era" Wasn't the best in Boxing, But neither was Marciano's. The HOF's that Marciano fought were past their prime, similar to Holmes when Tyson fought him.

I will say, However that IMO Tyson at 5'10 / 220 would Starch Marciano at 5'9 / 190.

Tyson was Bigger, Stronger, Faster, and More Aggressive than Marciano.
Mickie said on 30/Aug/22
@ Jordan87 - agree with your assessment of Tyson's punching power. He did have pretty serious power for sure but it was more the way he could get you with a barrage of punches that set him apart on offense. A big puncher who is over 6'5" and 250 pounds is likely going to hit harder than a big puncher who is 5'10" and under 220, if you just measured their force on one straight right hand. But almost nobody could match Tyson's overall explosiveness when he attacked on offense.
Jordan87 said on 26/Aug/22
Click Here
Click Here

FYI Breazeale's scouting reports have him at 6'6". Wilder is actually shorter in most face off pics.

I got Wilder again at a tad under 6'6. Fury at 6'7, Joshua and Vlad 6'5.25 to 6'5.5. ( Joshua is an Easy Inch shorter then Breezeal, so lets stop with the 6'6 crap for Joshua
Jordan87 said on 18/Aug/22
@ Robbe,

I'm Betting for some odd reason Helenius may be taller ( Which makes no sense right now, but I want the pics to compare when they come).

Helenius has loads of Experience and should not be taken lightly. As Far as Hitting harder than Tyson, I think there have been a bunch of heavyweights that have more one punch Knock out power than Tyson. Tyson hit very hard, but his combos and speed were his biggest advantage. People Like Forman, Wilder, even folk like Tommy Morrison prolly had better one punch KO Power than Tyson ( Not saying they would beat him, we are talking just power).

A Side note, size is size, it matters with punching power to an extent. I do feel, However, That Joe Luis probably hit as hard as a 200 pound man could hit. He fought in a time without many combo punches, but power is power.
Robbe said on 18/Aug/22
Yeah, it's official now. Gerald Washington knocked Helenius, and Wilder knocked Washington, but that indicates nothing in heawy weight. One lucky punch, and it's all over. I've heard Helenius hits harder than Mike Tyson in his glory days. So you never know. Helenius comes to this fight with two knock out wins over Adam Kownacki, who supposed to become the new hewy weight champion, and Wilder comes with two losses in a row against Fury. These guys knows eatch other very well after sparring tens and tens of rounds together. Helenius said it was pretty even, so it will be an interesting fight. Not to mention who is the tallest one 😁
Jordan87 said on 15/Aug/22
@ Robbe,

Yes I believe its official, so we will get some staredowns at least between the two. Helenius is no Joke but I feel Wilder will sleep him. Ya never know however.
Robbe said on 11/Aug/22
Wilder vs Helenius most likely gonna happen on 15. October, in Barclays Center, Brooklyn. Looking forward..
Jordan87 said on 8/Aug/22
@ Canson,

No I'm 5'10ish, So I meant I would expect a Wilder type guy to loose more height than me throughout the day, bc he is 8" taller. ( A Side Note, I met Viscera , the WWF Wrestler in 2003- He was around 6'5ish and EASILY 450 POUNDS, someone his weight would have to loose more height than Wilder ( 220ish) during the day.. Can't even describe how massive that guy was. I was with some of my fellow football players when Viscera was signing autographs outside the Public Middle School on Staten Island. )

That the tallest I saw Wilder looked really with Wilkins. Wilder also at times during face off's kinda hunches over, so that can effect things. Lately however, I still think AJ and Wilder are closer than I used to think in Height.

An I wish I could have met Bowe, I always wanted him to fight Lennox as a Pro. He was a Big Dude to be considered a Good Inside fighter the way he was. Issue I have is, he was listed a couple times around 6'4.5, so I'm not sure how he could be taller however If you met him and he looked that Big, that is something to think about. Dude had them 3 foot wide shoulders i'm sure in person he looked every bit of his 240 pounds +?
Canson said on 7/Aug/22
@Robbe: yea I can see Malone being shorter now. Peak at his afternoon height, 6’7.75 or 6’8”. Today he could just be 201-202. Wilkins May be under 6’6 now at 62 but I could still see him as a solid 6’6”. He did still look 6’6.5ish maybe 10-15 years back when he was on NBA TV next to Dennis Scott and he looked taller than Dr J who I believe was 6’5.5-6’6 range peak height and 6’5 or so today
Robbe said on 7/Aug/22
Wilkins doesn't look much shorter than Karl Malone even nowadays, so i believe Wilkins is still at least 6'6.

Click Here

Mailman may have also dropped some height from his peak times. Could be 6'7.5 these days.

I can buy 6'6.25 for Wilder, but i wont rule out 6'6.5. He looks around 0.5in taller than Wilkins in that photo, really.

What comes to Wilder vs AJ, they both look barely 6'5, if Raheem is only 6ft Click Here

Raheem must be at least 6'0.5in i believe. Maybe a bit more.
Canson said on 6/Aug/22
@Jordan87: I would’ve guessed Bowe to be over 6’4” flat. I’ve also
Met him and felt he was either my exact height or slightly taller than me or at very worst my exact height, but it’s hard to say because I didn’t pay enough attention to footwear. I wouldn’t have thought he was only 6’4” flat. Bowe measured 6’4.75” in his prime from what I recall. Maybe he was 6’4.5 and had a slight advantage in footwear or just different eye level or 6’4 5/8” and had the footwear advantage. I am unsure if I’ve shrunken today as I may have been 6’4 3/8 at my low then and 6’4.25 today or if I was 6’4.25 or a mm over and only lost a couple mm
Canson said on 6/Aug/22
@Duhon: Ngannou is prob a flat 6’4” at a low. Maybe in the case of his listing, It isn’t his lunchtime and maybe he’s 6’4 1/8 at lunch. But I don’t see Wilder being sub 6’6”. Maybe Rob should lower him to 6’6.25” to fit since he doesn’t appear even if camera were straightened out, to be taller than Melo and was a considerable amount (at least a full inch below Fury)
Canson said on 6/Aug/22
@Jordan87: yea it does vary. I remember Ali Baba who was 6’6 peak height, saying he only lost 3/4” and was 6’6.75 out of bed. You’re 6’6, right? How much do you lose per day? In my case I lose around 3/4” or max 2cm some days if considering just normal low but I’m a couple inches shorter than Wilder as I feel he would probably have upwards of 2” on me at 6’4.25” and that’s my normal low and not a lunchtime
Canson said on 6/Aug/22
@Robbe: 6’6 flat is within the realm of possibility for Wilder. 6’6.5 seems a bit too much though. He did look 1-1.5” shorter than Fury. My guess is that he is 6’6-6’6.5” range. He can look 6’6 on occasion but maybe more 6’6.25”
Jordan87 said on 5/Aug/22
Keep in mind, Wlad is 6'5 or slightly over as Rob lists him, Joshua I don't feel is 6'6", I never saw him being even 1/2" Taller than Wlad.

So Currently for me ( and this has changed in the last few months for me)

Tyson Fury - 6'7 to 6'7.25"
Wilder - 6'5.75 to 6'6.5"
Vlad and Joshua - 6'5 to 6'5.5

Some other past HW's
Ali - 6'2"
Frazier - 5'10.5
Tyson - 5'10"
Foreman - 6'2.75"
Liston - 6'0 ( Easily looked 2" shorter than Ali most of the Time )
Lennox Lewis - 6'4" ( Was listed 6'4 a few times, he can't be shorter than this with 6'1 solid Holyfield)
Holyfield 6'1.25"
Bowe - 6'4" ( Listed 6'4.5 at times, Looked solid 6'4 with Holyfield - again I'm hanging my hat on his picture with Rob and a 6'1 proven man)

@ Canson and Duhon,

I saw him meet Francis Beefily. Both some of the hardest hitting human beings around nowadays.

Canson,

I really think it depends how much someone losses. If a person ( Wilder's height) Looses a Solid 1 Inch during the day, Then Maybe he touches 6'7 but I'm unsure b/c I only tend to looks' 1/2". . Obviously I think that the taller than Person is ( Wilder being 8+" Taller than Me would loose More than Me.)

AS Far as AJ, I think AJ is less than Rob's listing and is actually 6'5.25 to 6'5.5. I def think Wilder is taller and I always wanted a Picture between them both.

If we are going by Mid Day, which is guess is what someone's real height should be, I have AJ at 6'5.5 and Wilder at 6'6.25. I used to think Wilder was easily more than an Inch taller than AJ but not anymore. Maybe and Inch if we compare with Radio Raheem but I don't see over and Inch ( Like a previously used to think)

Click Here
Click Here

Compare both Wilder and Joshua's eye levels with Radio Raheem, then do the match. I don't think Wilder is much taller than AJAnymore.
Robbe said on 5/Aug/22
Wilder can't be flat 6'6 cause he is only hair shorter than Vitali Click Here

Vitali can't be shorter than 6'7 cause he was tops 2in shorter than 6'9 Lamar Odom, and Odom had more footwear. Wilder seems to have higher eyelevel than Vitali, but Vitali's forehead is longer. Anyway, not much difference there. Tyson Fury looks taller than Vitali, compared to Wilder.
Duhon said on 4/Aug/22
Not the best angle but Wilder with ~6'4+ Francis Ngannou Click Here
Canson said on 4/Aug/22
@Jordan 87: 6’7 out of bed would fit Wilder if he loses an inch. With Melo there was a camera angle advantage. I’d see them as similar. 6’5.75 looks too low as he’s taller than AJ imho
Jordan87 said on 3/Aug/22
Canson,

Issue with Wilder is Melo, Shaq, Helenius, and Fury AT TIMES All Make Wilder look Sub 6'6, not by much, and not in every picture.

Some Shaq pics ( Assuming Mr. Oneal is under 7'1, Make Wilder look barely 6'6 , Fury at 6'7 in some cases make Wilder look 6'5.5-6'6, Helenius and Melo ( Are closer to the camera) make Wilder look shorter, Not saying all those pictures are great but I don't see Wilder breaking 6'7 dude, even his AM height.

If I had to bet , again I would say 6'5.75 ( At night), 6'6.5 in AM.

I feel the 6'7 out of bed is too high, I don't see him ever getting over 6', Even if Fury is the 6'7.5 Rob Lists him at ( Which I feel he is 6'7 based on his early career Listings) Wilder cant' be over 6'6.5 really.
Canson said on 29/Jul/22
I can’t see Wilder under 6’6 flat. That’s virtually impossible. The only argument here is that 6’6.5 could be in the early morning and that he is 6’6 at a low. Otherwise he could be 6’6.75 and 6’6.25 (6’7.25 out of bed if that’s the case). Otherwise 6’7 out of bed 6’6 flat at his low
Robbe said on 28/Jul/22
Wilder indeed looks only 6'5 with Helenius there, but like you said, Helenius is standing tall, like he always does, but Wilder is dropping some height. Also, Helenius seems to be slightly closer to the camera. I believe these guys are pretty much the same height. Helenius at the most 0.25in taller.

P.S. Here is Helenius with four time Finnish strongest man winner, who claims 6'9 Click Here

Like said, Helenius is always the tallest guy in the picture 😄 😄 😄
184guy2 said on 27/Jul/22
Helenius acess CH.com
He knows every techinique to look taller in photographs
Jordan87 said on 27/Jul/22
@ Robbe,

As per your Picture, I feel Wilder is leaning a Bit in that Picture while Rob is standing pretty straight, Maybe Wilder gets another .25 to .5" Inch, still struggling with 6'6 however.
Robbe said on 23/Jul/22

Robbe said on 22/Jul/22
Yeah, Helenius has edged out clearly Tyson Fyry, AJ, Wlad, and Wilder in pictures. I know for sure he really is 199.5cm. His next fight is supposed to happen soon, probably against Wilder, i have heard. Hopefully that happens, so we can see if he really is taller than Wilder.
Jordan87 said on 18/Jul/22
@ Mickie,

I agree, I was kinda shocked when i saw them Together and Wilder looking that much Shorter. Figured it had to be some Kind of Illusion b/c I can't see Wilder Lower than 6'5.5"
Mickie said on 17/Jul/22
Helenius is an odd one though - he always seems to position himself closer to the camera when pictured with other tall guys in the gym. I'd be interested to see how he stacked up with Wilder in the boxing ring.

Like Mickie said, Harrison is wearing shoes in those pics, and Wilder is barefoot. Just watch the weigh in video and you will see Wilder is barefoot the same height as Harrison in shoes.

Harrison could be wearing shoes and Wilder barefoot for all we know. Sometimes that happens at weigh ins.

Canson: He is really fluctuating in the pics. Sometimes he looks the same or even shorter than Wilder. Other - noticebaly taller. But i still go with 6'7 as best case and 6'6 3/4 is not ruled out
Canson said on 18/Apr/22
@Ice Cold: I don’t rule out 6’7.25 for Fury but I doubt Magic is any taller or at least not noticeably. His posture is poor and footwear is less
IceCold said on 17/Apr/22
Canson said on 16/Apr/22
@Editor Rob: that’s the most he should be listed here being he’s not any taller than Carmelo and he’s at least 3 cm shorter than Fury who you list 6’7.5”

If Fury is 6'7.5 then Magic is over 6'8

How likely a 6'6 flat for him?
Editor Rob
I can see the case for a 6ft 6.25 listing for Deontay.
Gman42 said on 4/Apr/22
Probably 6'6.25, but I'd pick 6'6 flat before 6'6.5. I'd be very interested seeing him face-to-face with Anthony Joshua, I feel Wilder should edge him but it would be close.
Celebheights 6'1.5" said on 15/Mar/22
Tyson Fury-6’7-6’7 1/4”
Wilder-6’6 1/4”

I think both could use a slight downgrade. Since Tyson is about 6’7”, I wouldn’t be surprised if he loses a full inch of height throughout the day due to having a longer spine.
Canson said on 2/Mar/22
@Big Rob: he should be reduced to 6’6.25 imho. Fury has too much height on him and I doubt he’s taller than Melo. I don’t deny he measured 6’6.5 but it’s morning time when he does
Bigbang20 said on 22/Feb/22
How about this interview that he did with radio raheem, you once listed him as 6ft. Wilder does not look taller than 6ft4-6ft5 max here, and that if Radio raheem is a legit 6ft.

Click Here
Editor Rob
I think with that clip and if Raheem is say 184cm, 198cm is what i might have guessed.
Canson said on 7/Feb/22
@Mickie and JD1996: he doesn’t look any taller than Carmelo. I wonder if the 6’6.5 isn’t early AM (1 or 2 hours after waking) and he’s not just 6’6 flat in the afternoon/evening
JD1996 said on 17/Dec/21
@mickie As I’ve always said fury is more than an inch taller than wilder.
Mickie said on 13/Dec/21
Rob, might the move to 6'6.25" be warranted for Wilder at this point? Click Here The difference between Wilder and Fury is frustrating to pinpoint, but in the ring with footwear and floor neutralized it seems like Fury looks more than an inch taller.
Editor Rob
Wouldn't rule that mark out
Mickie said on 23/Nov/21
I agree about Deontay more likely to be lower than Fury higher out of the two. Personally I currently have Fury at 6'7.25" which to me means Deontay is 6'6" - 6'6 1/8" since I think there's around 3 cm between them.
recapa said on 20/Nov/21
he isnt any taller than carmelo anthony who is in the 198.5-199 range .198-198.5 before bed and 201-201.5 out of bed.

Definitely wilder being lower than fury being higher. Wilder is 6’6.25 tops

Solid Inch Shorter than Fury, Oh man Did Fury Spank him. Wilder is gonna be down in the dumps for awhile.
Arch Stanton said on 16/Oct/21
There looks more than an inch between him and Fury, I see an inch and a half. Fury didn't look 6'8 with Momoa of course though.
Mickie said on 13/Oct/21
Which is more likely Rob, Tyson's listing ticking up a quarter inch or Deontays ticking down a quarter inch?
Editor Rob
Could see Wilder a fraction lower
Arch Stanton said on 12/Oct/21
Click Here He does look 199.5 there though in fairness.
Editor Rob
Could see him 6ft 6 and change maybe, his 6.5 is highest I could see, 6ft 6 the lowest
Arch Stanton said on 12/Oct/21
Are you sure on 199.5, vs Tyson's 202 Rob? To me is looked more like 203 vs 198.5.

Wilder fought well in the third fight, I don't know if he will keep boxing but it'd be fun to see him fight AJ, Dillian Whyte, Usyk etc. Fury gets the better of him, and stands a bit taller, but Deontay showed better strategy and a lot of heart.

Vitali is imo no less than 6'6.5" but I don't think I would go over 6'6.75". He's definitely close to 6'7" but I think he's a weak one not a strong one. Wilder to me is 6'6.5" at most, the question in mind is whether he is that or slightly under. Next to Fury he can look about the same height one moment and about 2" shorter in another. He looked 6'6" rather than 6'7" next to Shaq and Carmelo but I think he held up well some other times like with Vitali. The jury is still out imo but I don't think he's taller than his listing here.
Robbe said on 18/Sep/21
Robert Helenius is now sparring with Wilder, and (of course) dwarfs him in pictures, like he always does with his sparring partners Lol Click Here

He must be height obsessed. He always manages to look bigger than he really is 😁 Click Here 😁
Canson193-194 said on 14/Sep/21
@Robbe: I’d put money Vitaly is a hair under 6’7”. But if he’s 6’7 it’s solid not strong.
Robbe said on 11/Sep/21
Deontay is a tuff one. Vitali is a strong 6'7, and doesn't look much, if any taller than Deontay Click Here

Difference between Fury/Wilder is bigger than that. So Fury would most likely edge out Vitali. It's possible Deontay is really closer to 6'7 than 6'6. And Fury 6'7.5+
Canson said on 8/Sep/21
@Robbie Murphy: that’s the lowest I can see for him but evidence looks more like Carmelo Anthony’s height
Robbie Murphy said on 4/Sep/21

recapa said on 3/Sep/21
198-199 range.
Canson said on 30/Aug/21
@Robbe: there’s a chance at 6’6 flat for him. But I’d go ahead and reduce him to 6’6.25” since he seemed as tall as Melo at most if not a bit shorter due to perspective. I’d estimate that Fury has at least a full inch but can look 3cm taller at times. But we are undecided on Fury’s height suffice to say that he’s in the 6’7-6’7.5 range somewhere (that’s what the majority say). He could be at the upper end or the lower end of the range or in the middle

Wilder and fury in the ring always a much more noticeable height difference in the ring than out of it. Click Here
Mickie said on 20/Jun/21
In the ring it looked like 3 cm in Tysons favor. That's the best quality evidence so far. But at the recent presser the difference looked negligible imo, I actually think Fury looked taller but barely. Wilder's shoe was bigger, but probably not by an inch (unless he was wearing lifts). Hard to explain.
Canson said on 20/Jun/21
@Adam192-194: problem is Wilder measured 6’6.5 and he actually looks shorter than Carmelo. Melo is about what he’s listed seeing him up close. Somewhere in the 6’6-6’6.5 range to be very broad. I’d say they’re similar but Wilder is not taller than he’s listed. Money is on him being slightly shorter than taller
viper said on 18/Jun/21
Needs a downgrade to 6-6 1/4
Adam192-194cm said on 15/Jun/21
Today at their 6 minute stare down it was clear that they are much closer than everyone thought including myself. I actually think Deontay is 6,6.75-6,7. He slouches a lot as well. I think Rob has Tyson bang on at 6,7.5. Footwear was interesting though. Tyson had normal sneakers and Deontay had some sort of running shoe. I think Wilder had a footwear advantage but nothing noteworthy. At time it actually looked like Deontay was a half inch taller. I watched the press conference faceoff from a few angles and the height difference held up consistently.
Canson said on 13/Jun/21
Fury doesn’t have 2-3” on him. It’s 1-2 range. Looks about 3cm in reality
OriginalAnon said on 27/Apr/21
Click Here

Wilder and 6'5'' (on BoxRec) listed Scott (who took a dive against Wilder in 2014). Scott is sometimes listed at 6'4', and certainly looks the latter here with Wilder, who isn't even stood up straight while Scott is doing his tough guy straight up stance. We don't know the footwear, of course, but assuming it is similar then Scott is not over 6'4''.
recapa said on 15/Apr/21
he isnt any taller than carmelo .they could be the same tho.

Odd. People say 6.6ft and only 6.7 for Fury. Fury is clearly 2/3 inches taller than wider!
Canson said on 5/Apr/21
He needs to get knocked down to what Melo is listed best case
Mickie said on 17/Mar/21
I would go with Carmelo's measured 6'6.25" personally... He could measure closer to 6'7" earlier in the day.
Canson said on 15/Mar/21
The pic favors Melo that’s why. If you see Melo with Kobe or LeBron that’s the most he can look. There are pics that I’ve posted where he looks at best 6’6” flat as a matter of fact. If you see Melo and Tyson Fury it’s the same difference as Fury has on Wilder
Dillon Rice said on 14/Mar/21
@Rob Agreed! I think Carmelo is minimum 6’6.5”-6’7”, but you never know.

Mickie said on 23/Feb/21
@184guy2 - I have Vitali at 6'6.5", although I could concede 6'6.75" at most. Deontay would figure 6'6.25" - 6'6.5" if the 1/4" advantage you cite held true after accounting for the ground and footwear. It's possible Deontay could be in that range, but I also don't rule out just 6'6".

@canson Yeah I agree about brezeale he could be a solid 200 cm guy. I think Tyson fury is taller than the vast majority of people here think though however.
Canson said on 8/Oct/20
@JD1996: I’ll search for it. I remember it being on a page before. He could be 6’6.75 but I can’t see any higher. He barely looked taller than Wilder too. Now with Wilder, that’s interesting. I saw the pic with Carmelo who I’ve stood next to and he is no taller than Rob lists him. He would fall into the 6’6-6’6.25 range or max 6’6.25” but he looked taller of course with camera advantage though. Then with Fury he could look his full listing but Fury’s height is also interesting. He never stands straight. I’m not sure if I would give Fury 6’7, 6’7.25 or 6’7.5”. I would probably lean toward the middle as Rob once had him listed at 6’7.25 before he bumped him up. But He would be an easy 6’8” or 6’8.25 out of bed at that rate (even 6’8.5 isn’t completely out of the question) so likely he had a morning physical in shoes to arrive at 6’8.75”
Gman41 said on 7/Oct/20
I checked the video of the Joshua vs. Breazeale weigh-in, I can clearly see Joshua does not get his sneakers back on before the face-off. Unfortunately you cannot see for sure if Breazeale gets his sneakers back on, but he had plenty of time to do so, and I believe he probably did.
JD1996 said on 6/Oct/20
@canson 2 cm if you go by eye level and 3 cm if you go by top of heads Joshua top of head just a hair taller than his eyeline looks a bit over inch difference in first photo maybe 2.7 cm more I look depends on if he has high or low hairline. In the second photo it looks like 3 cm that separates them without a doubt. If I was a betting man I would say he’s close to his 6’7” I would peg him at 6’6.75” or maybe 6’6 7/8” because 6’6.5” looks undercutting him and I’ve never seen the 6’6.5” figure yet in an article myself and tbh even if I did I would doubt it, he has a noticeable edge on wilder as well like 1.5 cm
Canson said on 5/Oct/20
@JD1996: I think Breazeale measured 6’6.5” before. I can’t remember where the article is now. That doesn’t look as much as 3cm with AJ in the first pic imho. Looks more 2ck but Maybe the second it’s 3cm
JD1996 said on 4/Oct/20
If dominic breazeale is listed 6’7” what is making people say he’s 6’6.5”. He looks around 1.25” on Anthony Joshua sometimes up to 1.5” Click Here Click Here. I’m not seeing 6’6.5” he looks 200 cm minimum might even be the full 6’7”. He looks more than an inch over Joshua so only 6’6.5” looks unlikely.

Canson said on 15/Sep/20
@JD1996; yea I would expect about an inch if both stood straight. I have Wlad at what Rob lists him. If he’s less it’s probably 196cm flat. Wilder isn’t less than 6’6”. He’s noticeably taller than a guy like Joshua too
JD1996 said on 4/Sep/20
Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here @pierre he is obviously taller than 6’6” wilder is around 6’6”-6’6.25” as wladimir is 6’5” range and wilder has an easy inch on him maybe slightly more Click Here furthermore to that tyson looks an easy 1.5 inches minimum over wilder and in some photos it looks over 2 inches so he’s obviously over 6’6” I would say tyson fury is in the 6 ft 7.5-8 range really. In the third photo you can see fury clearly lowering his neck and head down to look wilder in the eyes so I would say anything between 1.5-2 difference between them.

Canson said on 5/Jul/20
@Editor Rob: I’m still surprised you have him listed 6’6.5” being he looked shorter than Carmelo Anthony who measured 6’6.25. I agree that the difference wouldn’t be that pronounced but it’s very likely that Wilder measured that height earlier in the day. Fury also has over an inch on him most of the time and you conceded that he would be max 6’7.5 afternoon height, meaning he could even be below that. With that said, 6’6” flat or perhaps 6’6.25” may be the better listing for Deontay Wilder? The latter puts him on par with Carmelo Anthony
Mickie said on 4/Jul/20
I would say 6'6" - 6'6.25" in the afternoon. He's a bit more than an inch shorter than Fury who I have at 6'7.25" - 6'7.5". Wilder's brother said Deontay underwent an "autopsy" recently, so I'm not sure if there will be a 3rd fight lol.
Mon said on 1/Jul/20
1) In the ring where the footwear is above all for proper balance and leverage, and thus the same for both men, Fury always looks to be more that an inch bigger as ringside commentators have remarked.
2) Deontay has twice weighed in for title fights at barely 15 stone, and yet for his build at 6'6.5'' you would surely be approaching 16 stone. Half in inch accounts for the discrepancy.
3) If he really is 6ft 6 ½. Deontay only claimed half an inch more than his true height in 2015 when he claimed "6'7''. In his position why on Earth would he not be claiming a good inch more than his real height?

A number of lines of evidence converge on the probability that he is not over 6'6''.
Canson said on 29/Jun/20
@Crane: he may just be listed at a height he measured a little earlier in the day. He may be 6’6.25 or 6’6-6’6.25 afternoon height. 6’6 flat is probably the lowest I could buy. 6’5.75 looks too low but 6’6.5 too high
Crane said on 29/Jun/20
197.5 cm at best. He's lean slender skinny which gives you that impression when taking pics. Hair style, posture, camera angle + always wore on those massive basketball sneakers/sketchers is helping him also. Wilder is way overlisted like most celebs in this site. The barefoot measurement figures they got once the top of their heads were lazor is much lower than you honestly thought it would be. Look/Pictures is decieving as alaways. Anyone who've been in the height game this long would've known that.

@Rampage: yea the consensus on Fury’s page is anywhere in that 1-1.5” range. I would give Wilder max 6’6.25 and Fury max 6’7.5 or 1/4” shorter for both or maybe just Deontay
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Jun/20
I see more than 1in between him and Fury. But it could be that Fury is a weak 6ft8 and Wilder a strong 6ft6?
Mon said on 11/Jun/20
Okay, maybe is enough evidence for a flat 6’6”. There are many photographs where he seems almost as tall as Fury, though few of those are with Tyson and Fury in the ring, where there is less footwear advantage possible. Deontay is lean yet heavily muscle, and muscle is quite a bit heavier than fat. For the first bout with Fury, Deontay weighed in at 212lb, which is light by modern heavyweights standard, and also less than 5'10' Tyson weighed in at for bouts when he was twenty years old. At 6ft 5 ¾, Anthony Joshua had lost 10lb to come in at 237lb in his last contest.

While is not impossible Deontay Wilder is 6ft 6 ½, him coming in at 212lbs (and 214lbs previously, so it was no fluke) makes it rather unlikely he is over 6'6''. Deontay has naturally excellent posture, and big shoes for press conferences with Fury. It would be a priori expected that Joshua and Wilder would be between 6'5'' and 6'6'' because that is what all top heavyweight champs have been for decades. Fury is the outlier and I give him one and a half inches over Wilder based on themin the ring. Although the weight of Wilder in some of his bouts is just a supporting argument, it's a concrete fact not subjective.

Mon said on 4/Jun/20
Well into his thirties by then, Wilder was down at 212lb for the first match with Fury. That would be unnaturally light for a man in his prime pushing 6'7''. I cannot see him being 212lb at the height listed here while going into a professional championship heavyweight (ie anyweight) contest. No way. Wilder is a weak 6'6''. In Wilder-Fury II during the second round the British commentator said there appeared to be considerably more that an inch between them. Fury is almost two inches taller. I am pretty sure about this because I follow boxing.

Wilder is more than just a weak 6’6”. He is a solid 6’6”. Fury is more than likely a hair over 6’7” next to him

@Robbe: I think Wilder and Harrison are of similar height. I can’t see Harrison as low as 6’5” flat after seeing this video. Maybe we can argue 197cm range as opposed to the full 6’6” but I can’t see 196

Canson said on 2/Apr/20
Melo tends to have that camera angle a lot. Had it with cam newton too. He’s not 3” taller than Cam. He’s shorter than Lebron yet has more height on Newton than Lebron had. But agree with FriedChicken wilder isn’t shorter than Melo who is around his listing

FriedChicken said on 1/Apr/20
I agree with the others. Needs a downgrade. He is not taller than Carmelo Anthony.

Click Here
Canson said on 28/Mar/20
@Robbe: he needs a downgrade imho. I’d go with 6’6.25 to start but honestly 6’6” flat looks the best. He is clearly not anywhere near Fury
Canson said on 23/Mar/20
@Robbe: interesting. I wouldn’t have had him that low but that’s possible I suppose. I think Wilder’s listing needs attention. He definitely shouldn’t be listed taller than Carmelo
Nik Ashton said on 16/Mar/20
He will be losing many inches of height with THAT lean!
Robbe said on 14/Mar/20
Harrison is 196cm range. Both Wilder and AJ are taller than Harrison Click Here
Canson said on 12/Mar/20
@Robbe: I didn’t see their feet. So where do you have Harrison?
Robbe said on 10/Mar/20
@Canson, Wilder is barefoot, and Harrison is wearing shoes in your picture. Harrison is shorter than Wilder. What comes to Breazeale, he is about 1-1.5cm taller than Wilder. In their face of, Wilder had to look up at Breazeale. Wilder was standing at his very best, while Breazeale was standing relaxed.

Click Here

Breazeale is taller than Wilder, but shorter than Fury. My guess:

Wilder 6'6
Breazeale 6'6.5
Tyson 6'7.25
Canson said on 5/Mar/20
@Robbe: actually after looking at it more, Breazeale is slightly closer to the camera than Wilder. However, it wouldn’t surprise me if the former still edges the latter out in the end
184guy2 said on 4/Mar/20
AJ 6'5.88 AT WORST
Wilder 6'6.25
Almost nothing between them
Canson said on 4/Mar/20
@Robbe: he looks more like Audley Harrison’s size. At least he’s closer in height with him than he is Breazeale. Maybe the latter actually is that height in the afternoon (normal low) and the Deontay is 6’6 flat or a touch over; and maybe even a touch under 6’6” is possible for Harrison

Click Here
Canson said on 4/Mar/20
@Robbe: I think all of the evidence points to 6’6 for wilder if we include Carmelo Fury and Brazille. I would like to see a pic with Anthony Joshua too
Bazza said on 3/Mar/20
Really want to see AJ and Wilder fight so we can put this one to bed. My money is on similar height with maybe Wilder edging it.
Robbe said on 3/Mar/20
Nah, Deontay looked visible shorter than 6'6.5 Breazeale Click Here
Murtuza said on 29/Feb/20
Deontay Wilder is a solid 6’7” in my opinion stop saying he’s 6’6” thats ridiculous
Canson said on 27/Feb/20
@184guy: I do agree
184guy2 said on 26/Feb/20
Yeah Canson but AJ has the more impressive appearence in general and healthy. Both Tyson and Wilder have chicken legs, really embarassing for HW . I'm pretty sure AJ could do it better on MMA than the others .
Canson said on 25/Feb/20
@Shane: Fury did look shorter than Magic but Magic had more footwear. I wonder if it’s Fury having his typical languid posture there
Shane said on 24/Feb/20
@Ellis if you saw Fury with Magic I think you would revise his heights downward.
Mickie said on 24/Feb/20
Wilder looked an inch and a quarter shy of Fury in the ring. He could be more 6'6.25" than 6.5".
Canson said on 24/Feb/20
@184guy: yea and at around 230lbs he’s a quiet 230 for a 6’6 range guy. Fury looks to be the bigger body all around
184guy2 said on 23/Feb/20
lol he come in at 231
still not that big comparing to Joshua and Tyson who are easily 240 and 270 in normal range weights
Sean william Winter said on 21/Feb/20
wilder comes in 223 lbs i reckon. at rob do you think 50/50 1/1 betting odds. be nice to make some money but i dont know.
Editor Rob
I couldn't call this fight, I think it's a toss up.
Canson said on 20/Feb/20
@Bazza: I agree with your estimate and that’s how they look in the ring. Really maybe a 2cm As opposed to an inch difference between them and AJ is slightly less than Wilder
6'1guy said on 19/Feb/20
How much you think he weighs Rob? Looks kinda light for his height? I was thinking maybe 200-205lbs? Compared to someone like Joshua he'd look skinny, even though he's not - he's just very tall.
Editor Rob
I think his weigh-in should be interesting!
Bazza said on 19/Feb/20
Fury is likely close to 6'8 out of bed and 6'7 flat all day long. Wilder an inch shorter, maybe a touch over 6'6 flat but i'm not seeing 6'6 and a half. AJ just a touch under 6'6.
Sean william Winter said on 18/Feb/20
rob are you a fan of tyson fury will you be watching the boxing on 22nd february??
Editor Rob
I will probably watch highlights. It will be interesting to see what happens, I wouldn't bet on this match!
Canson said on 15/Jan/20
@Ellis: I agree with all three estimates. Wilder could be maybe a touch over. It’s odd that Carmelo Anthony looked taller but maybe it was the angle
Ellis said on 13/Jan/20
@Canson: Do you think that Wilder is 6'6 at a low? and also, What do you think Fury's range is, from a high to a low?
I think that Fury is,
Out of Bed: 6'8, Low: 6'7
Wilder
Out of Bed: 6'6.75, Low: 6'6
Joshua
Out of Bed: 6'6.25-5, Low: 6'5.5-6'5.75
I'm pretty confident that Braun Strowman is taller than Wilder, I'm just not sure if Tyson Fury dips below 6'7 for a low, if he does, it is at most a quarter inch.
Canson said on 11/Jan/20
@Ellis: I doubt Fury is close to 6’8”. He struggled with 6’7 with Magic
Ellis said on 10/Jan/20
I think Fury's power is heavily underrated, I mean yeah it's nowhere near as strong as Wilder, but lets not forget he is a 6'7-8 guy who is is 260 pounds punching, that is not gonna be a feather. Anyways, i see it going two ways, Wilder by KO, or Fury by 12 rounds. Joshua still needs to prove himself, he fought a severely obese Andy Ruiz Jr, I feel as if he would stand no chance against Wilder. Joshua used his range game the whole fight against Ruiz, scared of contact, now you bring in Deontay Wilder, taller than Joshua, longer wingspan, and stronger than Andy Ruiz Jr, between Joshua and Deontay Wilder I say it is a no brainer. Wilder is also much more athletic than Andy Ruiz in general, especially compared to Ruiz on the night of Ruiz vs Joshua 2. Boxing is a very unpredictable sport though, so no one is guaranteed a victory, but if I were to guess, I would say Wilder in Round 5 vs Fury, and if he were to fight Joshua he would get him out of there within the first two rounds.

Andy Ruiz Jr is a great boxer, I feel like he would give Deontay Wilder trouble if they fought, similar to the presence of Luis Ortiz a bit, the problem is, on the night of Joshua vs Ruiz 2, he weighed in at 283 pounds, and for a 6 foot guy, tell me how this is not a cake walk for a 6'6 237 guy who is much quicker. Excuses are excuses, Joshua won that night, and he earned those belts, but I'm just saying, the man that he fought was not the same man he fought in June.
Mickie said on 8/Jan/20
Wilder may well KO Fury this time if he hits him with another shot like in the 12th round in their previous fight, but there wasn't really anything wrong with the count. The narritive that Wilder and many of his hard core fans have been saying is that the ref should have waived it off as a KO on the spot has, has no legs imo. The fact that Wilder couldn't finish him off and Fury fought well the rest of the fight shows that the ref played it right. Fury should have won the first fight, but I think Wilder will be favored by most experts to win the rematch because he always has that one punch KO power to bail himself out of trouble.
Jordan87 said on 7/Jan/20
I think Wilder is going to win their rematch. He has Seen what Fury is about and will land his " one big shot" Earlier than the last match. Fury won't get a long count either this time. Wilder is going to put his lights out.

Amazing though, Wilder weighed only 209 when he Fought Fury who was 260, and Wilder hits TONS Harder.
Murtuza said on 31/Dec/19
He is a very close 6’7”
Canson said on 16/Dec/19
I agree with Junior but maybe 6’6.25 is the better fit if both are the same. Although it’s possible Melo is 6’6 flat
Hassan123 said on 9/Dec/19
He looks about 6"7 to me.
Jordan87 said on 3/Dec/19
Audley Harrison has also Been Listed at 6'5 in the past, and Wilder doesn't look taller. Ortiz is not over 6'2, and Dillian Whyte is more 6'2-6'2.5".

Fury was listed at 6'7 once and I wilder is 6'6, that makes Senze.

Fury- 6'7"
Wilder- 6'5.5"
Whyte - 6'2.25"
Ortiz- 6'2"
Parker- 6'2.5"
Ruiz - 5'11.5"
Bazza said on 21/Nov/19
Just seen the face off between Wilder and Ortiz and Wilder dwarfs Ortiz who is billed at 6'4. No way he is that; 6'2 max possibly lower.
Anon11 said on 18/Nov/19
Dillian Whyte himself claims 6'3''. Check out his youtube channel where he said it a couple of months ago. I have stood next to him and I am around 189cm. He seemed very much around my height, give or take. He is definitely not 6'4''. Ortiz is also 6'3'' max, but more likely to be 188cm or so.
Robbe said on 10/Nov/19
@Xpac99, Wilder is barefoot, and Harrison is wearing shoes in your pic. Check the youtube video, and you will see.
Reno said on 9/Nov/19
Like Fury I think his posture is quite bad and he can seem shorter than he is.

I actually think he could be same as Breazaele.
Wilder looks inch shorter than Magic and is further away.

Also it makes me think that Fury is taller than Magic.

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 30/Oct/19
Deontay could be a flat 6'6 a low same as Carmelo Anthony.
Mickie said on 25/Oct/19
I thought I saw 6'3" billings for Ortiz at some point too. But yeah he could be 6'2.5" too.
Gman39 said on 25/Oct/19
Oh, and add Dillian Whyte to the the 6'3 at the most, club. Imo.
Gman39 said on 25/Oct/19
I agree with you about Ortiz, Robbe. And for the record, I think Pulev, Jarrell Miller, and Joseph Parker are all 6'3 tops.
Robbe said on 24/Oct/19
Ortiz is heavily overlisted, he is nowhere near 193cm. Here with 188-189cm Christian Hammer.

Click Here

So, Ortiz is max 189cm. Wilder looks 8-9cm taller.

Wilder looked tall next to Ortiz recently.

This man is 3cm taller than Wladimir maybe 6'6.25 in the Worst case.
Mickie said on 8/Aug/19
@ Robbe - Wilder could be taller than some here think. He does look taller than Washington. I'd say anything between 6'6" to 6'6.5" would be believable for Wilder, and I think he could wake up a solid 6'7" guy.
Robbe said on 1/Aug/19
Deontay is looking noticeable taller than 6'6 billed Gerald Washington.

Click Here Click Here

Washington is obviously overlisted, here with 6'6.5 Helenius. That's not 0.5in difference.

Wilder looks actually slightly taller than Helenius, compared to Washington.

He didn’t look any taller than Carmelo. My guess is 6’6” flat and Melo could even be 6’6.25 like listed
Mickie said on 24/Jul/19
@Boxing fan 07 - I don't think Vitali is quite 6'7", but I also don't think he's under 6'6.5". He looked tall next to Lamar Odom. Wilder could be 6'6.5" too but I think that's the maximum he could be. There is a pretty strong case for him being 6'6" flat even (but no less imo).
Boxing fan 07 said on 18/Jun/19
Canson, I have trouble believing Vitali is 6’7”. He only looked 1.25” inches taller than Lewis.

Deontay is a solid 6’6” he barely looked shorter than Fury, Maybe Wilder was wearing boots
Canson said on 3/Jun/19
@184guy: I agree that Wlad isn’t under 6’5” but I have Vitali taller than Wilder. I have Wilder closer to 6’6” flat Vitali as weak 6’7”
Canson said on 3/Jun/19
agree with Mickie
Mickie said on 31/May/19
@184guy2 - Yeah like I said, some of those marks could be low balled. I think maybe Wladimir and Tyson Fury could be a quarter inch taller specifically.

Wlad - 6'5" (6'6" in the morning)
Fury - 6'7.25" - 6'7.5" (when standing well)

That might fit better. I think I'll leave my other estimates the same.

@Gman39: Yeah man, AJ is entering his peak of boxing and he will be a monster, I see a 50/50 as well, it is a fight all of us boxing fans want to see. Wilder has the power, but Joshua is a more traditional(better) boxer, he has monster power as well but Wilder is something else. Make no mistake that I'm not saying Wilder is a bad boxer skill wise, it is just that AJ is the best in the business when it comes to traditional boxing. And yeah, Fury is like a rubix cube, very tricky and awkward, he can't be figured out, but Wilder's boxing iq is incredible, if they do have a second fight, I favor Wilder.
@Mickie: You make a great point there, but yeah I'm tired of the mind games with Fury lol, don't get me wrong he is an incredible boxer, but like you said we all need to see Wilder fight AJ.
Mickie said on 29/May/19
I could be low balling some of them, but I'm starting to think this is at least possible:

Deontay Wilder - 6'6"
Anthony Joshua - 6'5.5" - 6'5.75"
Tyson Fury - 6'7" - 6'7.25"
David Price - 6'8"
Alex Ustinov - 6'6.75"

Vitali Klitschko - 6'6.5"

Wilder tiptoeing with 6'6.5 Helenius. Earlier i thought Wilder is closer to 6'7, but now i think he might be just flat 6.6.

Click Here
Mickie said on 27/May/19
@Ellis 6'8 - yeah? I tend to think Fury would have the advantage in the rematch. Just because he was able to essentially win the first match with a lot of ring rust. But you could certainly see a scenario where Wilder catches him like he can do to anyone. I wouldn't bet cash on that outcome though.

I'd really rather see a Wilder vs Joshua fight happen first personally. That's a fight that's really overdue. It'd be interesting to see how the two would compare height wise, too.
