Joe Calzaghe's Height
6ft 0 (182.9 cm)
Welsh Boxing Champion. In this photo I was wearing Clarks Boots, whilst Joe had almost 0.4 inch less footwear.
5ft 8 Rob and Joe (age 38) @ Collectormania London, 2010
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

I think he's slightly shorter than 182-183cms Carl Froch, by a centimetre perhaps. I'd go 181cms for Joe. One of the best fights that never happened (Calzaghe vs Froch!) I'd have said Calzaghe would win that comfortably on points but we'll never know.

Are you sure he is 6ft. If he was 6ft your eyes would be below his mouth level. He honestly looks 5'10.5. Do you agree with me.

Towered his dad, certainly did well to reach this height! His dad and trainer Enzo died a while back, only heard about that recently, sad, he was a year younger than my dad too! Calzaghe has a very similar look to Joe Rogan.

I think that Hopkins is a little shorter than 6 ft 1. I think he’s more 6 ft 0.25 or 6 ft 0.5 inches tall. Holyfield is around 6 ft 1 or 6 ft 1.5” and on pix of them together, Hop looks a full inch (at least 3 cm) shorter than Evander. Also look at pix of Hop with 6 ft 1 Chad Dawson or 6 ft 1 Antonio Tarver - Hopkins looks a couple of cms below them in height. This would make Hop a fraction over 6 ft tall which would correspond to Calzaghe’s true height of 5 ft 11.5 or so as I too feel that he’s a couple of cms shorter than Hopkins (I refuse to believe that Joe is a full 6 ft tall).

I'll be generous towards Carl and give him a 5'11.75/182cm estimate.
He just doesn't strike me as a full 6 footer - he's at least half an inch shorter than Kessler whom I'd guess is around 6'0.25-6'0.5

Well, he's also minimally 5'11¾. He edges out every 5'11 opponent he's ever had. It's really a mystery why he was ever listed around an inch shorter than he is. I'll give him 6'0

I have no doubt that Calzaghe is a maximum 182 cm (5 ft 11.75) tall. This is the figure in Calzaghe’s autobiography ‘No Ordinary Joe’ so there is no way (at any time of the day) that Calzaghe was 183 cm (6 foot) tall. You guys really need to downgrade him a bit.

Mikkel Kessler stood roughly equal barefoot to Calzaghe in thick sneakers. Kessler also edged out Andre Ward. However, he was seemingly the same or slightly shorter than Carl Froch.
Incidentally, I have also seen a photo of him with Mads Mikkelsen, where Kessler is clearly taller.
Rob, what do you think? He's in the 183-185cm range for sure, but where does he fall? Perhaps a 184cm guy?

One of those I feel that measure at about 182.3 cm in the evening. Probably bang on 6'0 (182.9) at lunchtime. Either 5'11.75 or 6'0 would be reasonable.

Rob are him and Carl Froch actually similar in person?
Editor Rob
He looked a bit shorter than Froch because he had a more noticeable footwear disadvantage that day, as mentioned near 0.4 inch.
I know he's been billed at 5ft 11 flat too, on BBC site.
If he was only 5ft 11 he'd have looked 5ft 10.5 range. There is not a chance in hell he was that short unless the guy was wheeled in on a trolley and was near his morning height.
5ft 11.5 would be the lowest I think I'd attempt to argue for him.

Loose posture or not. There's is no chance of him being 6'. Look at his stare down with a 40 year old 5'11 Roy jones junior. Jones is taller. Look at his stare downs with 6'1 Bernard Hopkins. 2 inch difference and that's gracious. Joe is at best 5'11. No .5 more. And certainly not 6ft. I think hes 5'10.75-5'11. He's listed 3/4 of the time at 5'11. 6' is his round up billing.

Why would you think he was 5'11.5 or less when rob whose met him is quite clear he's a 6 footer, and actually he looks the same if not slightly taller than Froch when they are stood eye to eye in video from the boxing ring ? It's pretty plain to see he's leaning down in that photo with Rob and has less footwear.

Editor Rob they are very close in height in person...I met Joe when I had a 1 inch heel and he had converse, so near 0.4 inch footwear difference.

if the commander is only about 5'10 1/8 then Joe looks roughly 5'10.75,well rather 5'11.25-11.5 assuming footwear,look at eyelevel.

Editor Rob Joe does have a larger head than average aswell...I suppose I wouldn't rule out a chance of 182 range, it's not impossible, but I thought he was 5ft 11.5, then with 0.4in less footwear I bought 6ft.

You can see calzaghe with another guy 'commander idham' who wears shoes so would have advantage in footwear over joe

The commander is 2 inches taller in person than me whever I have seen him...I'd recommend looking at his collection to spot some things...like tilt and camera position and how some photos are effected by it...for instance look at his maryse quellett pic as the most clear example.
As I said on the barbie blank here, the photographers position can add height at times...the photographer himself has a portait shot with maryse and he is taller than her...and giles the photographer is 5ft 11!

You can totally ignore the photo with him and Rob, and just look at him with celebrities of known height, and it's clear he's not 6'0". I'd ignore the picture with Rob, altogether, since he's bent. There is more than enough evidence aside from that.

Rob, no matter whatever length of time passes, I cannot accept Joe as 183 cm! Nowhere is Calzaghe down at that height. Calzaghe is down at 182 cm in his own autobiography.

You need to correct this, please!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!

Rob if his eyes line up with the top of your head both bare feet, does that make him a 6fter?

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.

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.

When someone is 5'11.5" they will usually just say 6'0". I think he needs to be downgraded to 182cm.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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).

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.
