He is 51 so it's not impossible he's lost 0.25 given he's a very tall guy. It certainly can't be ruled out. Height loss can start after 40 for some people.

He could've been a hair over 6'7 prime and now 6'7 at best.

@Mirko. I can not be ruled out that he has lost height but it very unlickely given he is still a fit guy.
Rapha said on 28/Mar/23
Early in his career, he claimed to be 202 cm tall and his brother 198 cm.
I think they both claimed their early morning height. What do you think Rob?
QM6'1.5"QM said on 8/Mar/23
200cms tall man!
Canson said on 28/Nov/22
@Reece: I could buy that. 6’6.75-6’7 range peak at his afternoon/evening perhaps and his brother is 6’5.25” at his evening or a hair under the mark perhaps
Reece said on 26/Nov/22
Yeah 6'7 peak and 6'6.75 today is very possible.

If it is height loss can't be any more than a quarter to half a inch at the very most IMO.

No way. I'm around 201.3cm out of bed give or take a few mm and I fall to 198.8cm in the evening. Vitali is at least 2m evening height, so most likely 202.5 - 203cm out of bed.

Okay, we have different bodies. I mean maybe thats true, for example am exactly 201,5 out of bed, in the evening i fall in general to 2m, really rare to be under that. so am like certified 6'7.

IMO 201.5 Out of bed max, but in general a bit above 2m afternoon.

Hey Rob, how tall is a bald guy if Vitali is about 6'7" ? ;)

Editor Rob
At least 8 inches shorter.
Reece said on 8/Apr/22
Anywhere between 6 foot 6.5 and 6 foot 7.25 could be argued honestly.
Mickie said on 7/Apr/22
Weak 6'7" is likely. Not under 6'6.5".
Reece said on 22/Mar/22
I still think 6 foot 7 and 6-5 1/2 is closer but I can understand this listing.

I don't think that is too tall for Wlad imo even without lifts he can often look closer to 6 than 5.
Canson said on 18/Mar/22
@Arch: 6’6.75 is the worst I see for him the more I see of he and his brother. Wlad is probably a solid 6’5.25 afternoon height or within maybe 1/8”. He’s easily 6’5.25 lunch and maybe even 6’5 3/8”
Arch Stanton said on 17/Mar/22
Well he is 6 ft 7, he's hardly a guy who needs to inflate his height Matt! 6'6.75 and 6'5.25 could be close. He's not over 6 ft 7 anyway. Recently when asked what he thought about Putin's claim that it is a special op and that they're targeting military he said "BS, they're targeting civilian buildings too" or something like that. I don't know, having two big, intelligent fighters like the Klitschko brothers leading things in Kiev is a good thing I think, though physically they are of course easier potential targets to hit. Wlad looks to have lost a lot of weight and looking very sunken in the face, Greggs should send them some pasties, pies and cakes!
Canson said on 16/Mar/22
@Duhon: it’s not.
Duhon said on 15/Mar/22
Being 6'7" is probably not a benefit when you are in a literal war zone as he is now.
OriginalAnon said on 9/Mar/22
Mickie, he clearly is not under 6'7''. Having watched Vitali for more than two decades, he is easily 200cm, and could be slightly over it. He could have 2 inches on his brother. He consistently has looked considerably taller than him.
Mickie said on 4/Mar/22
I think 6'6.75" would be a better listing considering he looked considerably closer to Wilder's height than Fury did (who could be as low as 201 cm range himself).
Matt6'4.5 said on 4/Mar/22
Impressive that he claims his real height. So many athletes embellish these days.
Canson said on 3/Mar/22
@Reece: actually in other pics it looks two inches. I think they’re listed ok. 6’5 1/2” is too much for Wlad being AJ looks taller and he’s likely not the full 6’6” himself
Canson said on 2/Mar/22
Meant to say 1.6” not 1.4
Arch Stanton said on 2/Mar/22
Then I saw another pic and it looked barely over an inch diff between the brothers. Vlad at 6'5.5 and Vitali at 6'7 seems about right. Both are on Putin's hitlist apparently, hope we don't lose either of them.
Reece said on 1/Mar/22
@Canson

That is possible but my opinion is still 6'7 vs 6'5 1/2.
Arch Stanton said on 28/Feb/22
I dunno I saw a recent pics of him and Wlad and thought there looked about 2 inches between them. IN some pics it can seem less though agreed.
Leesheff85 said on 27/Feb/22
He's a good foot taller than Tom cruise. Tom is 5ft 7 vitali is 6ft 7. Simple
Canson said on 27/Feb/22
Rob lists him at 200.66 and not sure if this is his afternoon or lunch.

@Reece: it’s around that mark. I’d say a solid 4 cm between them which is about 1.4”. This is likely a lunchtime height for Vitali and Wlad is listed at his afternoon height. Meaning Vitali could dip to 6’6.75-6’6 7/8 while Wlad is likely a 6’5.25” afternoon/evening
Miiiiiiighty_- said on 25/Feb/22
Funny how all the people are arguing about 0.5cm here but yet couldn't understand a 2M and some change guy would just answer " 2 meters " rounding it when answering.

Or Wlad mixing imperial and metric system when saying his bro is 6'6 ( which he isn't )

No way this guy is below 201.
Reece said on 7/Feb/22
I don't think Vitali is more than a inch and a half taller than Wlad.
Arch Stanton said on 4/Feb/22
Might be worth mentioning "and mayor of Kyiv (Kiev)" Rob. Not a place I'd like to be at the moment if you believe the media hype about Putin invading! Click Here Mmm sometimes tough to see 2 inches between the brothers.
Canson said on 3/Feb/22
@Rampage: it’s possible if Lamar Odom is a strong 6’9 but with Kobe he looks more solid 6’9 who doesn’t dip under the mark. I’d say it’s more 4cm than 5cm with his brother however but maybe it’s 5 on occasion. I could see the argument for both being listed the way Rob has them. Wlad looks a strong 6’5” and at times solid but then there are times I can see a strong 6’5 1/2 for Wlad.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Feb/22
Seems 2in taller than Wladimir, might be more of a case of him being 6ft5 flat than Vitali being a strong 6ft7
Canson said on 14/Jan/22
@Chaos: that may be accurate. Looks 4cm taller than his brother. 200.2
ChaosControl1 said on 13/Jan/22
@Mickie I can live with 6’7 for him. Maybe he’s 6’6 7/8 exactly
Mickie said on 12/Jan/22
I think 6'6.75" would be a very fair listing. Certainly it would be shocking if he's over 6'7" or under 6'6.5".
Andrey200 said on 2/Jan/22
@Canson in the photo I linked he's losing slightly less posture than Wladimir (the latter is bending both knees and leaning back a little) and even then they look the same height
Canson said on 1/Jan/22
@Andrey: he doesn’t look to have lost anything yet
Andrey200 said on 31/Dec/21
Rob I think it's time for peak/current

200-200.5 before bed and 202-202.5 out of bed.
Robbe said on 7/Sep/21
Vitali looks a legit 6'7 with Lamar Odom.

Click Here

Vitali has also footwear disadvantage there, so it's pretty safe to say he is not under 6'7. Deontay Wilder looked the same height as Vitali when they were back to back, so it's possible Deontay is closer to 6'7 than 6'6. Who knows 😐
Rounak Singh said on 5/Sep/21
Looks a strong 6'7"
JD1996 said on 6/Jul/21
@canson yeah it depends who he’s standing with I guess.
Canson said on 4/Jul/21
@JD1996: I’d say 6’6.75 is fair. Looks 1.5” taller than his brother
JD1996 said on 3/Jul/21
If he falls under 6’7” I don’t think it would be by much at all he looked only a bit over a couple of inches shorter than 6’9” Lamar Odom and Odom had more footwear. I could give him 6’7” he’s 6’6.75” minimum.
recapa said on 23/Mar/21
there is usually 4cm or 1.5 inches between the brothers therefore i doubt tthat vitali is a full 6ft7 .6ft5-6ft5 1/8(195.5-196cm) for wlad and 6ft6.5-6ft6.75(199.5-200cm) for vitali.
Mickie said on 23/Feb/21
Still think 6'6.5", or at most 6'6.75". Not quite a full 6'7", but close enough that rounding to it makes enough sense on his behalf.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 1/Feb/21
4cm is the locked max he look with 196cm brother Wlad.
Rapha said on 9/Jan/21
@Tunman

You are right, they were towering over everybody beside Nikolai Valuev. Unfortunately, the fight between Nikolai Valuev and Vitali Klitschko never happened. I guess it would have been a strange feeling for Vitali Klitschko to be towered by another boxer.
Tunman said on 5/Dec/20
@Reece
Maybe before a fight when staring at the future opponent,to show himself the most imposing,otherwise it's very unlikely that someone like him (or his brother)will ever need lifts,in fact it's rather the opposite,they'll need the smallest possible shoes,and even then will always be towering over everybody.
Pierre said on 18/Nov/20
Click Here here shoes looking similar ,the difference is more around 1.5 inches than 2 imo
Canson said on 11/Nov/20
@JD1996: that’s a possibility and a good one. He tends to look around 1.5” taller than his brother. However I’ve seen times where it’s 4cm. Maybe he’s a weak 6’7” but he would barely be in that category if 200cm is his afternoon low whereas you would be just above weak territory being over 6’6.75.
JD1996 said on 10/Nov/20
Maybe me and him are the same height
recapa said on 28/Oct/20
i see vitali measuring like someone as pippen both not under 200cm at low.
Canson said on 11/Oct/20
@Reece: he’s not listed 201 here though. I think 200 would be the better fit. Looks max 1.5 taller than Wlad
Canson said on 10/Oct/20
@Reece: he’s changed a bunch. Probably not a large percentage but if he has evidence he will
Reece said on 9/Oct/20
@Canson

Rob doesn’t chang listings much. Vitali could be 6 foot 6 3/4. But the full 201cm is not bad at all.
Canson said on 8/Oct/20
@Reece: I know. My thinking is one is rounding up (Vitaly) and Wlad down. I can only see 1.5” between them. I would drop the elder to 6’6.75 if I were Rob. That would align
JD1996 said on 8/Oct/20
With Lamar Oden he looks only 2 inches shorter specially considering oden has slight foot ware advantage about 1/4 inch in Lamar odom favour Click Here 6’7” looks right for vitali I wouldn’t say he’s any lower.
Reece said on 3/Sep/20
@Canson

Only saying what Wlad claimed.I think he is above it too.
Mickie said on 31/Aug/20
I think he's a legitimate 6'6.5", and nothing less.
OriginalAnon said on 20/Aug/20
Anything under 6'7'' is definitely too low. He has more chance of being slightly over than under, I reckon.
Canson said on 12/Aug/20
@Reece: 6’6 looks too low for Vitaly but I could buy 6’6.5-.75 or 6’6.5
Reece said on 9/Aug/20
Claimed 6 foot 7 but Wlad said he is 6 foot 6.
Canson said on 12/Jul/20
@Junior: the more I see, I don’t quite rule out 6’6.5 for Vitaly. That would, of course, be an afternoon height. Wlad I would say is no taller than Rob lists him. It’s possible that it’s only 3cm between them but 4 is possible
Reece said on 5/Jun/20
I wondered if to look bigger maybe they both do it sometimes. Haye mentioned something about Wlad wearing shoulder pads in the bulid to make himself bigger and this was back in 2011.....
Reece said on 4/Jun/20
Rob do you think Vitali could wear lifts as well ?
Editor Rob
These things can run in the family.
Reece said on 17/May/20
CJH 1990

Vitali has claimed 200cm as well. Which is just under 6 foot 7.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 14/May/20
@Christian 6'5 3/8"

Atually there are whole bunch of people have no clue about height lost during the day. I personally knew a few people who goes by their morning height claim and insist they are not shorter even i measure two different person in the afternoon came out to be half an inch lower than claim height and one of the guy still went forever argue that the measurement is incorrect and not believing of disc compress losing a little height everday this kind of facts. No offence to Mary Ann James, but i think she might have the same thinking as them. So we can't blame their trust issues. To be genuinely logical that Vitali claim 6'7 that is honest but what time did he get the measurement was a small problem, because he only look 3-4cm taller than his baby brother Wlad. I just don't see 1.75" that much between the brothers. Wlad might have measure 6'5 1/2 morning and came a low close to your height indicate Vitali not more than 6'6.75" a low.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 24/Apr/20
@Mary Ann James
What a silly comment. 1. Just because someone claims a height, it oesn't necessarily mean that it's accurate. 2. This is a height discussion/debating website.
Mary Ann James said on 22/Apr/20
If Vitali says he's 6'7", then at 5'6", I'm not going to argue with him! And why are all these guys debating Vitali's height? Kinda silly, don't ya think?
OriginalAnon said on 18/Apr/20
Easily 6'7'' and could be 6'7.25"
Canson said on 16/Feb/20
@Movieguy12: probably both are slightly shorter. Wilder only measured 6’6.5 time of day is questionable. And Vitaly doesn’t have but maybe 1.5 on his brother. But they’re just rounding up at least Wilder is.
movieguy12 said on 16/Feb/20
Didn't Deontay Wilder go back to back with Vitali for a good natured height match up a few yrs back. I remember they looked exactly the same height. So either both are about 6'7'' which I believe or they are both slightly shorter.
Canson said on 11/Aug/19
@Junior: Conan is only about 6’3 1/4” though. He was never as tall as you think (6’3 3/4). A guy that size would look 6’4” and Conan doesn’t look 6’4 with the legit 6’4” guys on his show. Tom Selleck even looked taller than him at 6’3.5 but that may have been footwear. Either way it would not surprise me if Conan were always a strong 6’3 or best case 6’3.5. As for Bo 6’5.25 or 6’5 3/8 is completely possible for him and Holmes 6’4 3/8 perhaps same with MCW but even MCW May be 6’4.25 or less. A lot of players are 3/4” less than their listing as we saw with Danny Green. He’s 6’4.5 and measured 6’5.25 the next year in the AM. He may not lose 3/4” from then but maybe 5/8 or a little less. No 1/8” increments so green may have just been 6’5.06 or something and been rounded up and just be around 6’4.5 at a low. Plus if it’s not a full hour out of bed which it appears it may not be then the loss may just be 1/4” from waking and 1/2” thereafter. If I measure in the first 20 or 30 it’s only about 1/4” for me otherwise it’s around 3/8” after the first hour
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 5/Aug/19
Wlad is never 2" shorter than Vitali. Max is 4cm between the boxers brothers.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 15/Jul/19
@Dream @Canson You guys can have Bo at 6'5 1/4-3/8 but 5'10 1/2 Josh Hamilton will be down at 5'9 3/4, Conan O'Brien 6'3 1/4, Pete Holmes 6'4 1/4, 6'5-6'5 1/4 Trevor Moore become 6'4 1/2, 6'4 Nick Thune become 6'3 1/4, 5'11 3/4 Ryan Hansen met by editor Rob becomes 5'11, Owen Benjamin 6'5 1/2 max, Thomas F. Wilson 6'1 1/2 current height. Vitali Klitschko 6'6 1/4, Last one is Bo's best friend 6'4 3/4 Michael Carter William become a flat 6'4. This is all the fact. So maybe they're all just listed too high.
Mickie said on 7/Jul/19
I think there's a much stronger case to be made for 199 - 200 cm than 201 or 198.
Dream said on 20/Jun/19
@Canson and @Junior

Truthfully, I find it difficult for Bo to be the full 6’6” or over. I do agree he would be at least 6’6” out of bed. At the same time, Bo has pulled off looking 6’5 1/2”. 6’5 1/4” is a low for Burnham, but he could also be 6’5 3/8”.
Canson said on 18/Jun/19
@Junior: it’s possible he’s under 6’5 1/2. I wouldn’t say no chance especially if he claimed 6’5”
Boxing fan 07 said on 18/Jun/19
Judging by Vitali and Lewis’s fight. I think Vitali is 6’6”. He only looks 1.5 inches taller than Lewis. Maybe not even that.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 16/Jun/19
I don't know what to say.. Bo isn't under 6'5 1/2 for a hundred percentage its likely a bit more than under. Vitali is comfirm a weak 6'7, He can be measure that earlier the day than after.
Dream said on 14/Jun/19
Rob, this is a strange comparison.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vital Klitschko with Kumail Nanjiani -- Click Here

Bo Burnham with Kumail Najiani -- Click Here

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why does Bo look extremely close in height with Vitali, in comparison with Kumail? I'm taking into account Bo's looser posture and being further away from the camera, with equal footwear. Kumail is slightly leaning onto Vitali.

Is Vitali get 6'6 3/4" and Bo Burnham 6'5 3/8" possible, Rob?

Reece said on 20/Apr/19
Vitali was considerably shorter than Valuev by about 4 inches who could be 6 foot 11 range.
I didn’t see that big of a difference between a Lewis and Vitali in the ring.
Canson said on 20/Apr/19
@Crane: agreed and that is exactly how I peg both guys. Vitaly 6’6,75 Wilder 6’6” Wlad 6’5.25 like Rob lists him all three at their lows
Daniel reynolds said on 19/Apr/19
Vitali klitscko would of been ft6,11 against lennox lewis. Lennox was a legit ft6,5. But you could see the height comparison. Anyone that thinks vitali was ft6,7 is nuts. I watched that fight not since 2003 though. Vitali just under ft7,0. Everyone saying 2 metres. Look at the height comparison between lennox and vitali and all will know at least 6 inches. I haven,t watched that fight sonce 2003. But i would know vitali was ft6,11 no question needed. I have watched other vitali fights but for me he was ft6,11. I don,t care what anyone says or trys to prove. I know fact.!!
mohammad said on 16/Apr/19
2000.00 Millimeters tall .
JD1996 said on 1/Apr/19
Vitali does not need a downgrade he's at least 2 metres tall 6'7" is a good listing for him
Crane said on 18/Mar/19
@184guy2 Vitali is taller than Wilder.

Vitali is a legit 200 cm tall guy, while Wilder is 6'6 or 198 cm.
184guy2 said on 4/Jan/19
Vitali is as tall as Wilder
He needs a slightly downgrade
mohammad said on 23/Dec/18
Believe me , he's real height is 2,000 millimeters .
JD1996 said on 18/Dec/18
Vitali is probably right around what canson said at most I think 6'7" but probably 6'6.75"-6'6.875" zone at his low any guy that height would just say 6'7" though.
Canson said on 6/Dec/18
I see about 4cm between the two brothers. He’s a 200 cm guy (6’6.75 at a low 6’7.5 or so out of bed) and Wlad 6’5.25/6’6” out of bed.
carletto said on 23/Oct/18
Carlo Alberto di Savoia (1798-1849), king of sardinia (in english "Charles Albert of Sardinia") was 2,03 (sometimes I read 2,04-2.05).
He was the great great grandfather of Amedeo di Savoia-Aosta (1898-1942),general officer of italian army (He was 1,98).
Lanky said on 18/Oct/18
Sharif, it might just be the camera angle but when I watched that, my immediate impression was that Vitali was taller. Of course, we don’t know whether the French kid is actually 6’7” though.

Tunman said on 22/Jun/18
Yeah,in fact very possibly 3cm max.I know for a thing that Vitali had 201 and 202 listings and Wladimir 198 and 199.Of course we can only speculate about the method and time but knowing the close relationship between them I wouldn't be surprised if they were measured together.Anyways I think Vitali could dip a little under 6'7 like 200cm while Wlad is more like 6'5.5 or 197.I think his 6'5 claim is definitely a rounding downClick Here:
If Tyson Fury is 6'7.5"I see 2"difference but no more.Maybe a slight upgrade for Wlad ,Rob?
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 13/Jun/18
@Reece Not over 4cm between this two brother.
Reece said on 17/May/18
It might even be less than 1.75 inch difference between Wlad and Vitali.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 12/May/18
There is no way 2" or even 4.4cm between the Klitschko brothers.

Wladimir legit 196cm
Vitali legit 200cm
zem said on 12/Apr/18
just under 6"7 evening height guaranteed! Over 6'7 morning height. Look at him with 6'3 briggs and 6'9 odom. Just a smidge shy of 6'7
Bazza said on 4/Mar/18
I recently watched the Lewis - klit fight again and it is a clear 2 inch difference on the nose in Vitali's favour.if we are to go with lewis being a hair under 6'5 then that makes vitali just shy of 6'7 but i would be happy to give him the full 6'7. He is certainly not more though
Reece said on 30/Jan/18
I would not Rule out the full 201cm for Vitali. Less than a hair under 6 foot 7 would surprise me.
even said on 25/Jan/18
exactly 2,000 mm , no more , no less , period !
Canson said on 8/Jan/18
@EM: I’d prob go anywhere 196-196.2 for Wlad and 199.5-200 for Vitali
EM said on 7/Jan/18
I think he's 1.5" taller than his brother.
Michael said on 13/Dec/17
6'6" or 6'7" he's a tall guy. Anyone that's 6'6" is already a giant.
CreepX said on 7/Dec/17
VItali seems to be 6'6 3/4'. Doesnt look 2 full inch taller than Wlad, but more than 1.

196.25 vs 199.75 looks perfect between the two of them.
Monty said on 28/Nov/17
Solid 6'7 - he towered over Briggs in the ring who is an easy 6'3/6'3.5
Canson said on 18/Nov/17
@Ice: so because you like the guy he has to be 6’7”? You’re a fanboy
Canson said on 12/Nov/17
Vitali has claimed both 6’6 and 6’7”. My guess is somewhere between. Wlad has claimed 6’5 evening 6’6” morning so he likely is closer to 6’5”. A guy with a long torso can easily lose a full inch at that height. Even if not a full inch he could be 6’6 out of bed 6’5.25 at his lowest which is still closer to 6’5” than 6’6” and a more than reasonable and accurate claim
Reece said on 6/Nov/17
@ICE. Remember the Sanders and Lewis and Chisora fights. What fights they were. Vitali has never been down in pro boxing in his career
Ice said on 6/Nov/17
Vitali was devastating in his prime . Truly unbeatable . solid 6'7
Canson said on 27/Sep/17
@Reece: vitali also said he's 6'7" and Wlad is 6'6". Then he went on to say he's 6'6" himself. I think his 6'6" is a strong very strong one or he's a weak 6'7". He has 1.5" on Wlad
Reece said on 26/Sep/17
Vitali has claimed 6-7 also though. Wlad said Vitali Is 6-6. But it's clear in pictures he looks 6 foot 7
will k said on 25/Sep/17
Vitali already stated in an interview before his match with Chisora that he is 6'6". When boxers tell you their height flat out in interviews, there shouldnt be any controversy. Im looking at this thread and seeing people saying 6'7, some saying 6'8. the guy said 6'6 so 6'6 it is

@Junior. Lamar has a footwear advantage of 0.75 inch. He is in basketball shoes 1.25 inch and Vitali flats 0.5 inch. It's no more than 2 inches with the footwear advantage. 200cm is th minimum but I think he is more 201-202cm

Vitali is 6-7 to 6-7.5. makes legit 6-3 and 6-4 look shorter. Wlad looks a inch and half shorter. i would put Wlad at 6-6 and Vitali at 6-7.5. i would say 6-5.5 and 6-7 are possible but no under.
Reece said on 4/Mar/17
Rob. what is your prediction for Vitali Height in the Morning and Mid day and Night. i still dont understand how u have Fury,Wilder and Vitali at 6,7. Fury is taller than both. if you see the Kiltschko Fight after Fury wins he calls Wlad a great champ or the Face off first press confrence the only one Wlad did not wear lifts and Fury looks a good bit taller than Wlad,looks the full 3 inches taller for sure. Vitali and Wilder look close in Height i think both are 6,7.Fury is at least 6,8.5
Editor Rob
Reece, there's a chance Vitali could fall under 6ft 7 at night, like a 6ft 6.5 range
Guesser said on 28/Feb/17
Vitali looked 6,7.5 in the RING with 6,5 Lennox Lewis. he looked 2-2.5 inches taller. Vitali is huge. Lamar Odam is listed 6,10 but likely 6,9 barefoot. Vitali looked 2-2.5 inches shorter in a picture but Lamar had footwear edge. i make Vitali 6,7-6,7.5 and Lamar 6,9 on the dot.

How come u have both V Kiltschko and Fury are 6,7? Fury looks taller next to Wladimir when he is not wearing Lifts than Vitali does.i believe Vitali is 6,7 but i think 6,8 is more like the Right Height for Fury. Fury was taller than a legit 6,7 Wilder by a 1.5 inches but he had a 0.5 inch edge Fury was wearing normal shoes and Wilder boxing shoes. Fury is a inch taller than Wilder with the same footwear.

Vitali looks to be 6'5.5 - 6'6
Canson said on 23/Jun/16
@Aswin: the problem with this site is people always say well "so and so looked such and such because he or she is 6'2" or "so and so looks this because he's an inch taller and he dwarfs people". Many of the heights listed here are off not to mention time of the day etc. I can't see Lennox as a legit 6'5. He looked as tall as Charles Barkley in pics and Barkley reliably isn't even 6'5. I have 6'2 and a 6'3 friend who met him that both said he looked 6'4 in person and is around the same height as I am. Lewis looks very tall as in 193 or maybe 194 but that's it. I'd go with the latter about 6'4 1/2. Wlad himself has said he's 6'6 in the morning and 6'5 at night. He chooses to claim 6'5 but in reality is prob more like 6'5.25-6'5.5 which adds up because of his brother measured 6'7 he looks 1.5" shorter. Again it could be timing. Vitali may drop to 6'6.75 in the evening potentially or maybe Wlad only gets to 6'5 3/8 or so. Either way he isn't 6'6 he'd say so if he were
Aswin Kini MK said on 26/May/16
@Canson: Yup mate, we can all agree on Vitali being 6 foot 7 or a tab bit more or less. However, I would slightly disagree with your statement on Lennox's height. Lennox, at no point in his career, looked less than 6 foot 4.5 -5. He towered 4inches over 6 foot 1 Holyfield, 3.5 to 4 inches over 6 foot1ish Tommy Morrison, was 2 inches taller than 6 foot 3 Bothas and only 2 inches shorter than 6 foot 7 Vitali and Michael Grant.

If he was really 6 foot 4 (As he was listed in the Olympics), I am sure Rob would have to downgrade almost every other opponent by 1 inches, that would make Vitali only 6 foot 6 (Mind you Vitali has been measured with legitimate 6 foot 9+ NBA players and has never looked more than 2 inches shorter).

I would go with Rob's measurement of 6 foot 4.75 for Lennox, he looked the most strongest candidate for a solid 6 foot 5. Wladmir, on the other hand, is an enigma, he states 6 foot 5 as his height but towers every other 6 foot 5 boxer on the planet :( Dude really needs to stop understating his height.

Here is a pic of Wladmir with the now-5foot 9.5 Arnold. (Look at this and tell me if you see 6 foot 5 or 6 foot 6).
Click Here
Canson said on 25/May/16
@Aswim Kini MK: you're correct about Vitali. He's 6'7". Wlad is 6'5 however. He has said many a times he wakes up at 6'6 and is 6'5 by evening. His prerogative to claim his afternoon/evening height. In reality he's prob an avg 6'5 1/4-1/2 guy where Vitali is 6'6.75-6'7 as there a 1.5" diff or so. You're making Wlad taller because the other guys are not as tall as they claim. Lewis btw is 6'4. He's at most 6'4.5 not 6'5 or almost 6'5. He even has referred to himself as 6'4 before.
Arch Stanton said on 25/May/16
@Aswin, if you really look at Wlad with people like Ivo Karlovic, doesn't look 6'6 or more.
While 6'5 flat seems too low something like 6'5.25-.5 is reasonable for him, though at times can look a proper 6'6.
Aswin Kini MK said on 23/May/16
Hi folks, just thought of clarifying a few things here. Vitali and Wladmir are both tall boxers. However, they often like to understate their heights to get a mental advantage in the ring. It's a part of their tactic. 1) Understate your height by 1-1.5 inches. Let your opponent assume you are one of the 6 foot 3 inch boxers who has overbilled their height to 6 foot 5. 2) Come to the weigh-in wearing lifts (2-3 inches) and stare down at their opponent (Who by now is freaked out by the height difference. He will be mostly think, 6 foot 5, no freaking way, this due seems more like 6 foot 8). 3) Go to the ring and jab the opponent to death.

To put it shortly, Wladmir is not 6 foot 5. He is clearly taller than a lot of solid 6 foot 5 footers. He is somewhere between 6 foot 5.75 to 6 foot 6 1/8. With regards to Vitali, I think Rob has his height spot on. A solid 2 inches over 6 foot 5, Lennox Lewis and towering 4-5 inches over 6 foot 2+ boxers. The max I can give Vitali is 6 foot 7.5 as he seems to stand with very good posture. But he is definitely 1-1.5 inches taller than Wladmir who is no lesser than 6 foot 5.5 himself.
movieguy said on 26/Apr/16
My guess is the same as that of poster Ice, I'd put him and Fury at pretty much the same height. Still mystified by the Wlad Tyson weigh in where Wlad looked to edge to have the edge on Fury in height. Why would a guy as big as Wlad wear lifts if that is what happened.
Ice said on 3/Apr/16
His height is very similar to Tysons .. Tyson just gets billed as 6'9 , but doesnt edge out legit 6'7 guys like Vitali or Mariusz Wach .
Ice said on 3/Apr/16
Nowhere under the full 6'7 .
Canson said on 3/Feb/16
At the end of the day both of the brothers look exactly what Rob has them. Wlad wakes at 6'6 and is 6'5 at night (is in 6'5 range even at the top for more of the day than he is 6'6). he'd be a 6'5 and a little change but closer to 6'5 than 6'6 if he claims it. He looks 1.5" shorter roughly which puts Wlad around 6'5.25-.5 (probably 6'5 3/8 in the afternoon) and Vitaly at a certified 6'7 or at worst a weak 6'7 (like 6'6.75 maybe 6'6 7/8).
movieguy said on 17/Jan/16
Just read an old interview in which Vitali says that he is 6'7''. I see no reason to doubt this, Vitali seems a matter of fact guy. Wlad slightly shorter. The listed height is correct on Vitali I believe.
Canson said on 27/Dec/15
He is exactly an inch and a half taller than Wlad. I'd say a weak 6'7 esp at his lowest. midday/early afternoon 6'5 3/8-1/2 for Wlad and 6'7 around that time for him. 6'6.5-.75 at his lowest in evening

Haye and wladimir klitschko.

Quite clearly, hayes head reaches past wladimir's eyeline in most pictures. I don't believe wladimir has a particularly large head. Haye would be between 4 - 4.5 inches shorter then wladimir.

Haye him is about 0.5 inchs taller then froch, thus haye is about 6'0.5 and wladimir is max 6'5 (the height he states himself at)

His brother is 1 inch taller then him, thus is really 6'6 as his brother states.

Froch 6'0
haye 6'0.5 - 6'0.75

I can't see Haye at anything over 6'2, he can look 6'1.5 at times.

Haye looked the same height as Eric Bristow and Rob saw him and said he was 6'2" range. 6'2" is about right for Haye; I agree at times he can look more 6'1" but seeing him on I'm a Celebrity next to 5'5.5" Dec snd 5'8" Ant and Bristow I don't think he's under 6'2". But he aint 6'3"..

kk55 said on 11/Nov/12
Wlad fought Mariusz Wach last night. First opponent to be taller - 202 cm. There was no more than 4 cm difference in height. I wonder why he claimed 6'5" earlier. No way he is shorter than 6'6". Perhaps he always knew his height in cm and was not quite sure what is it in inches. Also check out his photos with Tony Thompson (legit 6'5") Wlad always looks and ich taller.
thetruth said on 13/Oct/12
I've read the interview in which 6'5'' Chuck Wepner states he is an inch taller than Wlad. Strange cause Wlad looks massive at least 6'6'' although he himself claims 6'5''. When Vitali fought Lennox Lewis he did look a good 2 inches taller than 6'5'' Lennox. Wlad is a little shorter than his elder brother although more muscular by far.
Shaun said on 29/Sep/12
Rob if you were to list David Haye what would you guess? One thing's for sure he isn't 6 ft 3. He looks 4 inches shorter than Wlad who claims to be 6 ft 5 barefoot. But if Haye is 6 ft 1 Craig David needs at least a 2 inch downgrade. Haye had like 4 inches on him I think. Height can be a strange thing as I doubt Craig David is under 5'10".
Editor Rob
I think near 6ft 2 range is likely for him, he raises his eyes sometimes and probably creates impression of being taller.

If you were to start a page on Wladimir Klitschko Rob I'd probably go with 196cm or 197cm. If you look on the tube Wladimir Klitschko BBC interview he claims 6-5. Personally I think he looks 6'6" ish but he is about 2 inches shorter than his brother.
Shaun said on 25/Aug/12
If Wladimir Klitschko is 6'4" David Hay is struggling with a flat 6'!!! Klitschko looks 6 ft 6 but I think his claim of 6 ft 5 is the truth. Vitali can look 6'7.5"-6'8" a lot but he has about 2 inches on his brother. They're 6'7" and 6'5" as they state I think.
Fredrik said on 26/Jul/12
I met both brothers in 2002 and I can say for sure that comments putting Wlad at 6'5 or lower are totally off the mark.
If I were to make an estimation I'd say he's 199 cm (6'6,5).
Vitali is clearly on the north side of 200 cm (6'7). Indeed, earlier in his career German ring announcers put him at "zwo meter zwo" (202 cm / 6'7,5) which to me seems a very plausible height for big brother Klitschko.
ed said on 24/Jul/12
Produce, Becker was around 6'2 as of 2005. I got his autograph in Bremen and I am roughly 6'1.5 in shoes and he was a hair taller. I could see Vitali as 6'5 and change and Wlad as 6'4.
Produce said on 16/Jun/12
Joe frazier never was 5 11.5. He was more like 5-9 as Foreman said. Tyson could be right with saying hes 5-10! Wladimir only 6-4? I actually found that next to his shorter opponents there most was MORE difference in height as reported. so if hes only 6-4, than i dont want to know how short Chris Byrd , Mormeck, etc are. Bu if he says hes only 6-5 i cant imagine hes taller because The Klitschkos have much marketing and imageactivities. Next to Boris Becker, who was 6-2, he also looks more like 6-4: Click Here
Cranberries said on 16/Jun/12
I think the evidence I just posted indicates that Vitali is not quite 6'7". I would say 6'6" to be precise given Wladamir's more realistic height of 6'5". Both could be a fraction of an inch lower, even.

Any other opinions?

Wladamir is 6'5", and tends to wear flat shoes. His brother is 6'6". EOS.

I never met Vitali, but I did once encounter his brother Wladimir. He too was a very nice guy. It's not often at 6'3 you encounter someone who looms over you. He seemed around 6'6.
It wouldn't surprise me if Vitali was a tad bit over 6'7. He certainly looked taller next to Dereck Chisora than 6'6 Robert Helenious did.

Vitali is 6-7. Stood next to him several years ago. Nice guy.

I think Stallone's height is less than listed here, but Vitali is indeed a foot taller.
Shaun said on 9/Jan/12
At the very least a flat 6'7" barefoot I'd day. He's massive.

Strangely the photo perspective makes him look an easy foot taller than Stallone but makes his brother Wladimir look only 6 inches taller than Sly!

chuck wepner says Wladimir is really 6'4'' according to him in a interview from 2009 and that he's not the 6'6'' he says he is. Wepner claims to have Wladimir by an inch. Wepner being around the 6'5'' mark. weird.
mister said on 26/Dec/11
On youtube there is a video about Haye's training before Valuev. He has a cardboard pictre of Valuev at 7'. It has various heights listed on it and he stands for a picture next to it and is only 5-11 to 6-0 in trainers.

If you look and ManUtd.com & goal.com, Rio is listed as 6' 5. I would probalby put him at ~6'3 1/2 - 6'4.

There is no way Wlad is any less than 6'7 and his big brother Vitali 6'8.

Here is a picture of NBA star Lamar Odom (listed 6' 10) with Vitali:

only 1.75 tops between Lamar and Vitali. so Lamar is probably 6'8.5 or so

david haye is not 6'3, 6'1 is closer to the truth if even that.
Dural said on 13/Dec/11
David Haye must be about 6'1", he's shorter than 6'2" Rio Ferdinand.

haye is a 6.2" not 6.3",i know a guy who has sparred with him,hes 6.2" bang on,haye is just about that on a good day he said.
mister said on 7/Oct/11
Guys, listen I have a friend that worked with him and his brother on their "McFit" commercials. He has a picture with both of them and he is 6-1 and has a solid build at around 200 lbs. Vitali is clearly 6-7 inches taller and wladimir is significatly taller as well. I tried to post the pictures but they didnt work. I believe that the heights are correct for each...I do believe though that Haye was only 6'2.5" and rounded up to try to get closer to wladimirs height. The other thing I noticed about Vitali in the pictures with my friend is that nhe is deceptivly broad. On tv he looks tall and a lot more slender than a guy like Shannon Briggs or Danny williams. He is very broad and looks his weight at 250lbs.
Steve said on 5/Oct/11
LOL at Vitali being 6-5 or 6-6. Why do people here always try to downgrade?
Produce said on 17/Sep/11
Vitali didnt look tallert han ribalte in my opinion. Ribalte is reported from 6-5 to 6-6
HULK said on 13/Sep/11
VITALI--- 6'7 is the MOST id give HIM 6'8 is a JOKE
WLAD----- 6'5.5 is the most id give HIM ANYTHING BIGGER IS A JOKE.IN A SKY SPORTS interview and numerous other interview he has stated he's 6'5. STANDING next to his brother he alwaye looks 1 inch or so smaller.
DAVID HAYE--- 6'1/6'2 HE looked 4 or 5 inches shorter than WLAD. Standing next to CARL FROCH who's 6FT/6'1 HE ONLY looks and inch taller. Further proof when standing next to JOE CALZAGHE who's 5'11.5 there's only a 2 inch difference. AND after seeing pictures of him next to FOOTBALLER RIO FERDINAND who's 6'3 HE looks an inch smaller.
filmfan said on 26/Aug/11
There isn't too much differnce between the two brothers having seen them recently on Sky. Probably only an inch in Vitali's favour. Wlad is more muscular and athletic but maybe not as tough as Vitali. Vitali 6'7'' possibly 6'8''. Wlad 6'6'' maybe 6'7''. Brilliant fighters although perhaps not always as aggressive as the American heavyweights of old. Hence some of the criticism of their 'boring' style. Unfair I think as they are fighting to their strengths. You can't blame them for being bigger and more talented than their opponents.
Scott said on 18/Aug/11
Wladimir looks approx 2.5 - 3 inches shorter than Tyson Fury: Click Here is 6'9. I'd say that most of the Heavyweight heights are in order, give or take less than an inch?
Mike said on 16/Aug/11
At around 2:08 you can clearly see that Wlad is taller than Thompson, and the same height difference is discernable in the "stare down" photos that were taken before the fight. As I mentioned below, it is very difficult to judge fighters' heights while they are competing, because they are continually bouncing around, bobbing, weaving, ducking, etc. If one fighter bobs while the other weaves, a height disparity will ostensibly increase or decrease, and in some cases a fighter who is actually a couple of inches shorter than their opponent will appear to be the taller of the two.

I don't think Wlad was wrong when he claimed 6'5" multiple times. He doesn't look any taller than Tony Thompson in their fight, who's listed as 6'5". I've also read that Klitschko wears a size 14 shoe; expectable for someone 6'5" tall.
Truthman said on 5/Aug/11
My friend seen him in person yesterday. He said Vitali seems 3 inches taller than me. I'm strong 6'4.
Mr. R said on 4/Aug/11
@Tua Adamek is sometimes listed at 6-1.5 or 6-2. I think the former is correct.
Mike said on 4/Aug/11
Adamek is listed at 6'1.5" on Boxrec, but on some recent broadcasts he has been listed at 6'2.5" and I think that is accurate.

Actually, Harrison doesn't even look an inch taller than Lewis.

Mike said on 14/Jul/11
Audley Harrison has one of the longest reaches in boxing and he is heavier than both Klitsckos, so this might have made him look bigger compared to Haye than Wlad did. However, I don't think that Harrison is taller than Wlad, and if he is, he certanly isn't "substantially" taller.

You can do a quick google search and find pics of Audley with Lennox Lewis, who is listed at 6'4.75" on here. Harrison looks about an inch taller.
Scott said on 13/Jul/11
I think 6'6.5" & 6'3 were the listed heights, tbf.

I was more highlighting that when Klitshcko took on 6'1 Eddie Chambers the difference looked GIGANTIC ... watching Haye vs Klitscko, it just looked like 2 big guys, one a bit bigger than the other.

I'm guessing Chambers may not be a genuine 6'1?

Also - as I mentioned - Audley Harrison looked SUBSTANTIALLY bigger in the ring and weigh ins vs Haye than Klitschko did.

Yet 'officially' Harrison is 1 & 1/2 inches SHORTER than Wladimir :(

Clearly, Audley is obviously actually taller.

Ultimately, at this weight level height is irrelevant in the ring - otherwise young Brit Tyson Fury (6'9) would be champ.

But it is difficult to know what the genuine 'tale of the tape' is!

Height differences are always less noticable during boxing matches because the fighters will are constantly leaning back, bending down, etc.
Wlad has towered over Haye in almost all their photos together; if Haye is 6'3" than Wlad is 6'6" at shortest.

Yeah, and I'd even go so far as to say if Haye is 6'3" than Wlad is 6'6.5" at the shortest. The difference seemed like 3.5" minnimum to me.

During the 'Big Fight' Haye looked a lot closer in height to Klitschko than I anticipated from the press conferences.

He certainly wasn't dwarfed and there only seemed 2-3 inches difference MAX as opposed to when Wlad took on 6'2 Peters & 6'1 Chambers.

Haye, bizarrely seemed 2 or 3"s taller than these guys?

Audley Harrison also seemed MUCH bigger in the ring than Wladimir.

My conclusion is that heavyweight heights are all over the shop.

I think Haye actually is 6'3 though.
Truthman said on 5/Jul/11
I hope this photos can help you to understand how tall Klitschko brothers are
