Is 6'5 3/8" arguable at times?
Editor Rob
At times he has looked that near 6ft 5.5 range, so it's not entirely improbable

He's a master at looking taller than he really is: Click Here

@Myself: wlad has a long torso for sure. Guys like that may lose a full inch in height which is why he claimed 6’6 (in the AM) and 6’5 (evening). He may be over 6’6 out of bed even. Whereas for me with a 35ish inseam I lose about 2cm some days 3/4”. My norm is 195.7-.8 before bed 193.7-193.9
Myself said on 22/May/18
@Canson How long is your inseam? Mine is about 88 cm, between 34 and 35 inches, for 192/192.3 height as the low. (i shrink between 2 to 2.3 cm usually) I think i have a pretty balanced torso to leg ratio, maybe a little longer torso for my height but i'm not sure. My hip bone is pretty large, so maybe that also contributes to the torso.

Anyway, looks like Vladimir has a very long neck, which makes a huge change when he is in a bad forward-head posture; In one of the videos linked by a user below, you can clearly see how his shoulder level is noticeably lower than that of AJ, but with the neck fully extended, he looked at least the same height to me, if not taller, or at least not much shorter.
Reece said on 12/May/18
Wlad claimed on Twitter he is 6 foot 6 198cm 2 days ago. But he usually claims he is 6 foot 5. What do you guys think? If that is really true then Fury has got to be upper end of 6 foot 8?
Arch Stanton said on 25/Apr/18
He can look a bit taller but a genuine 6'5.25 is massive of course!
Canson said on 15/Apr/18
@Bazza: I can lose a full 2cm now at 36 years old. I wake to 195.7 or 195.8 some days (usually 195.7) and come down to 193.7 these days. If I’m on my feet longer stretches at night for maybe 5 hours extra without a break I can get all the way to 193.1. I can lose 2.6cm in a day at an extreme low but I’ve only measured that low a handful of times that I’ve measured and it’s a truly compressed height because my back is compressed and I can feel it. But Klitschko is an inch taller than me perhaps. Maybe less but he apparently has a longer torso than I do. I’m built like Michael Jordan with an average torso and very long legs for a 6’4-6’4.5 guy. Wlad may only lose 3/4 as well. He may very well be what rob lists him on a normal day and only wake 6’6
Emil said on 15/Apr/18
Robbe

Floyd Mayweather's height was listed as 1.68 meter during the 1996 Olympics.
Those measurements are not always updated
Emil said on 15/Apr/18
He never drops below 196 that's for sure. His normal now is probably just a tad below 197 cm
Bazza said on 14/Apr/18
It's easy to lose an inch over a busy day.i wake up 189 and am usually 187 average evening after a normal steady day but can be 186-186.5 easily after a day of working and exercise.
Canson said on 13/Apr/18
He is 6’6” out of bed as he acknowledged. However, he stated that he’s 6’5” in the evening. Maybe he loses a full inch or it could’ve been a matter of him measuring at that height later in life or after a more demanding day. He also could be rounding down from 6’5.25 that Rob has him listed. Either way, I doubt he’s any higher than Rob lists him here but doubt he’s as low as 6’4.5 or 6’4.75. He is likely a full 6’5” at a low or maybe a solid 196 cm (6’5 1/8).
dje said on 15/Mar/18
Here with 198cm tall Hrgovic Click Here.
For me Klitschko is definitely 6'6 in the morning.
Canson said on 28/Feb/18
If Wlad dips to 195 it means he is one of those guys who dips 3cm from a morning height. He said himself 6’6 in the morning 6’5 evening which looks believable to be honest. But 195-196 or 196 looks more inline than 195 flat would on him. He looks at least a legit 6’5 no less and quite honestly can look a strong 6’5
CreepX said on 28/Feb/18
Robbe:

I think you put to much stock in that picture. They looked more similar in height when they took a picture in front of the camera. Joshua is naturally taller by posture with long legs and short neck. Wlad has long neck and torso that he needs to strech out to give his full height.

This footage is the best of the two of them measuring up. And i dont see Wlad in lifts compared to AJ from fight night. Same height differential.

Egven if Klitscko was labeled at 195 cm in the olympics. It could have been older measurments taken from his amateur record at 18 or 19 years of age.
Robbe said on 20/Feb/18
Anyone know how tall is this guy standing next to Wlad? Looks at least 6'7". He's name is Alexander Kokhanovskyy.

Canson said on 19/Feb/18
@Robbe: that’s the same for me. I have not gained since I was about 18 probably. I was a solid 6’4” or so (same exact height as my father was back then) when I was in high school when I got to College I got measured 6’4.5 or at least was told I was by the strength and conditioning coach on my team. It could’ve been because it was earlier in the Day or been rounded up from 3/8 not sure. I got told 6’4.75 once too but I can believe that being early morning now that I think about it. Because we were measured early morning sometimes then a couple late morning or afternoon. I would trust my Doctor tho and I would get right around 6’4.5 (6’4 3/8- 5/8) but had thicker hair too at one point than I do now. each time wasn’t till I came to this site that I saw the difference.
Canson said on 18/Feb/18
@Robbe: that’s possible. He may actually not even be a full 6’6” out of bed. May be 6’5.75 and said 6’6” in the morning like he did in the interview. Other possibility is with his long torso that he loses a full inch or more from 6’6 to 6’5 or 6’6 to 6’4.75
Robbe said on 18/Feb/18
@Canson, yeah, its very rare to gain height after you hit 20 years. Im exactly the same height now as i was when i left the army. The odds Wlad has gained 2-3cm moore height after 1996, is quite small. He was indeed 195cm when he won the Olympic gold in 1996.

Click Here

We all know Wlad loves lifts, so he can look 198cm in many pics, but the truth is he is no moore than 195-196cm. Yet he managed to edge out Tyson Fury with his stuffed sneakers, which is worth mentioning. He is an artist!
Reece said on 17/Feb/18
@Robbe. Even in that picture Wlad still looks taller than 6-4.5 or 6-4 3/4. Wlad was listed as that at 20. Then they started 198cm listing, Wlad is only a tiny bit shorter and his posture is worse. He could even pull off as much as 197cm 6-5 1/2.
Canson said on 16/Feb/18
@Reece: that is very rare someone grows until 25. Most men stop around 18 or 19-20 at best. I have been the same height since 18 as are most people I know. Maybe a 19 or 20 here or there but 25 is absurd. And Wlad is an athlete he’s measured regularly enough so at his age he would know how tall he is. I doubt he would say he’s 6’5 if he’s really 6’6”. I mean sometimes we have to not think wishfully!
Canson said on 16/Feb/18
@Robbe: that particular site simply knocks half inch off every athlete for the olympics. Examples Vince carter Scottie Pippen etc. but it is evidence that Wlad likely isn’t over 6’5” tho since that would likely be his barefoot height. And yes he is looking up to AJ and that looks about the difference it should be maybe 2cm or so. Wlad could just be a solid 6’5 at his lowest
Robbe said on 16/Feb/18
Wlad was looking up when he talked to Joshua after the fight. Usually it means your shorter than the person your talking to.

Click Here

Wlad listed as an amateur 6'4.5" Click Here
Canson said on 15/Feb/18
@Reece: if Wlad says he’s 6’5 that’s likely what he is. Since he loses height throughout the day like everyone else him being 6’6 out of bed and 6’5.25 or flat 6’5 ar night is very realistic l. As an athlete I can’t see him lying down about his height. 6’6.5 on his site is a shoe height for him. And he wears lifts often. Lewis could be 194 but doubt any less than that tho.
Kiwi Lad said on 15/Feb/18
It's true that some men can grow into their twenties. Some also hit their max height at 13-14. E.g mike Tyson, who was fully grown height wise around that age. In regards to Wlad, who knows what his story is lol
Reece said on 15/Feb/18
In my opinion he looked taller than 195cm. Wlad looked the same as AJ from many angles some taller some shorter. I think 197cm still. I think 195cm is still too low. That would mean Vitali is 198cm and Lewis is 193cm. Too low in my eyes.
Canson said on 14/Feb/18
@Robbe: lewis’s Height is debatable. He likely measures 6’4.75 at some point but no guarantee that’s a low for him. Could be 194 at a low possibly. As for Vitaly he could be 199 at a low as he edges Wlad by roughly 4cm sometimes 1.5”. I don’t buy listed heights of anyone unless I have something reliable to gauge against. I think wlad is between 195.5-196 vs 196-197 at a low. Meaning 6’5/6’5 1’8 is likely. 196 is better
Robbe said on 14/Feb/18
Yeah, its possible of course to gain height after 20 years, but looking at Wlad after the Joshua fight, without lifts, he looked around 195cm. So my guess is, he hasnt gained height..
Reece said on 14/Feb/18
But if is also possible he has gained height. Men often grow till 21 and even less often till 25.Vitali was listed as 198cm but it is clear in pro boxing less than 200cm is not very likely for Vitali. It is very likely both grew a little more in height. Vitali always looked a strong 2 inches taller than Lewis who was listed as 6-4 3/4 often and towered over other boxers. Wladimir is defo taller than Lennox Lewis. He has to be 196 and the very least and most likely 197cm. Vitali does look 4cm taller. So probably 201cm or thereabouts.
Canson said on 12/Feb/18
@Robbe: I wasn’t aware of the 195
Robbe said on 11/Feb/18
@Canson, im not so sure about it. Wlad was measured 195cm at the Olympics 1996. He was 20 years, and 3 months old. Its moore than likely he hasnä't gain moore height since then. He was cleary shorter than Joshua after the fight when they stood side by side in the ring. Check the pics i posted on 2/Oct/17.
Canson said on 7/Feb/18
I’d say a full 196. he’s a strong 6’5. Rob has him listed close enough
Kiwi Lad said on 6/Feb/18
Closer to 195cm imo
even said on 25/Jan/18
nothing under 6 foot 5 nothing
Canson said on 10/Jan/18
He is close to AJ in height but still a good cm or so off. AJ is about an inch or so taller than Joe Mangianello. 6’5.5-.75 range while Wlad is 6’5-6’5.25. Rob has both Wlad and AJ listed close enough to their normal barefoot heights it could be a 1.5cm difference at best between them maybe just 1cm

196-196.2 vs 197-197.5
Dwain said on 28/Dec/17
Can really look very close to AJ.sometimes the same or taller or shorter. 197cm is very possible imo
Canson said on 30/Nov/17
@Robbe: and to me at least that’s the absolute most Wilder can be. 6’6.5 could be earlier in the day and may just be 6’6.25. But He actually looks shorter than 6’6.25 Carmelo Anthony due to camera angle. Melo is actually is pre draft height having seen him in person. A rarity in the NBA
Robbe said on 21/Nov/17
@184guy, i dont think Breazeale is 201cm. If you didn't notice, he was wearing shoes in staredown with A.J, while A.J. was in socks. Yet he wasn't much taller.

Click Here

Here both men in shoes. Joshua probably in sneakers, and Breazeale in dress shoes.

Click Here

That's not 3-4cm difference. Breazeale is no more than 199cm. Same height as Helenius/Wilder.
Canson said on 19/Nov/17
@Junior: you said it well as always! I’d say it’s about a 4cm difference

Wlad 196 (6’5-6’5.25)
Vitali 200. (6’6.5-6’7)
Junior said on 13/Nov/17
Vitali look like a weak 6'7 next to him.
Canson said on 6/Nov/17
@184guy: yea does seem like AJ inflates height. He called Wlad 6’7”. I still think you have prob the most precise estimate as to how they both look. At least appear. Wlad is close to what Rob has him maybe a flat 196 and AJ 197.5 at his lowest
184guy said on 4/Nov/17
Joshua said that Breazele was 6'10 when in the reality he looked every bit of his 6'7 billed height
Canson said on 30/Oct/17
@Reece: lifts
Robbe said on 22/Oct/17
Check Tony Bellew page, there is a video Parker vs Bellew, where Bellew (189cm) edges Parker out.
Reece said on 20/Oct/17
Parker I think is 6-3 flat and Takam about his 187cm listing. Parker could be 6-4 out of bed and with shoes on. That could be where it comes from
Faza said on 19/Oct/17
Takam is 6ft1.5 haye and joshua both called him 5ft11 lol parker is not much taller there at all from what i remember parker looked a bit taller when they fought not sure on parkers height could be 6ft2 range?
Robbe said on 19/Oct/17
Lol if Takam is 5'11-6ft, then Parker is no moore than 6'1 Click Here

Joshua seems to be lost with his claims. He's not the only one though..
Canson said on 18/Oct/17
Strong 6’5 196cm
Faza said on 18/Oct/17
Yh saw that myself reece he also said brezeale is 6ft8 he added an inch to all of them to he described pulev as 6ft4 he is listed 6ft4.5 interesting that his next opponent carlos takam is listed 6ft1.5 on boxrrec and joshua said he is 5ft11 and david haye also described takam at 5ft11 6ft with a solid build
Reece said on 18/Oct/17
AJ said yesterday on a Kugan interview that Wlad was 6 foot 7. Is he getting heights mixed up? He said Molina was 6 foot 5 as well? They are not that tall are they?
CreepX said on 14/Oct/17
Just compare Wlad and AJ to Helenius. No lifts here:

@Reece

Pianeta looks 189-190cm range.
Canson said on 29/Sep/17
@Robbe: he struggles to look 196 with the 192cm guy maybe because of the angle and posture. I think he's full 196 tho and no less than 195.6 maybe. 184guy had it right with aj 197.5 (maybe 197-197.5) and wlad 196
Reece said on 29/Sep/17
@Robbw. Pinneta is listed as 6-5 even though he doesn't look that tall. The first pic guy

@Reece: I'm assuming you haven't seen Lithgow or Selleck next to Conan both are taller as is Hasselhoff and Neeson. Conan no way was 6'4" peak. Likely out of bed just like Wlad is 6'6" out of bed
Canson said on 14/Sep/17
@Robbe: I've seen him on an incline before to greet guests but not sure if that was the case with Wlad. Also have seen Letterman on it before. I don't believe Letterman is as tall as Dob has him listed either. But what you said is correct a strong 6'5" guy and a 6'3" guy or strong 6'3" claiming 6'4"
Robbe said on 13/Sep/17
@Canson, there is no podium behind Conan's desk. Wlad's posture is very bad there, that's why they appear pretty much the same height. But i agree, Conan is no moore than 6'3, and Wlad is 6'5.
Reece said on 13/Sep/17
Conan was defo bigger than 191cm at his peak. More like 6-4 in his peak.
Canson said on 12/Sep/17
@dd: the problem with that pic is Conan likely is on a podium he appears a bit taller than Wlad. Conan asked him if he was 6'6/6'7 before likely a shoe height for Wlad (slightly rounded or if its in lofts possibly). My guesses

Conan 190.5-191 today (191 peak likely)
Wlad 196cm (Robs listing is fair doubt he's under a flat 6'5" at night or over what he has him listed at night)
Aswin MK said on 12/Sep/17
I would go with 6 foot 5.5 minimum or 6 foot 6. He was clearly taller than 6 foot 5 boxers such as Tony Thompson and looks equally tall when compared to Joshua :)

Editor Rob: yet he said he was 6ft 5.

Yes Rob, you're right, even many of us are constantly confused why he refuses to reveal his true height. He has fought many legitimate 6 foot 5 inch boxers and has at least looked 1 inch taller.

He looked a minimum of 4 inches taller than 6 foot 1.5ish David Haye, two-three inches taller than Kubrat Pulev, and as big as or equal to 6 foot 6 boxers such as Joshua.

Maybe he is around 6 foot 5.5 and just rounded off the other way shaving the 0.5 inch. I wouldn't say he is any less than 6 foot 5.5, there is way too much evidence for a 6 foot 5.5 because there have been a minimum of 10-12 weigh-ins where he has looked taller than every 6 foot 4+ boxer he has faced, In fact, the only boxers who have ever edged him out during his career have been Mauriz Wach, Tyson Fury and Joshua - the point to note is that all of these boxers were billed 6 foot 6 or taller. My guess is he is a srong 6 foot 5.5 guy. Unless he is weighing lifts in his shoes all the time, I cannot understand how he consistently looks taller than 6 foot 5 boxers.

Canson said on 31/Aug/17
@Robbe: that's a good question. I don't know if he said he's 6'4.5 or if he thought wlad was. But I have no reason to doubt wlads claim
Robbe said on 30/Aug/17
@Canson, when Wlad is wearing his famous 2.5-3in lifts as he did with Fury, he certainly doesn't have to look up at anybody :D
In boxing shoes it's different, he have to look up at several boxers, Helenius, Wilder, Vitali, Fury, Ustinov, Wach, Breazeale, Granat, Dimitrenko + many others.

Btw, that Sky Sports reporter, Jim White, is nowhere near 6'4.5, wonder why he claims such? Somekind of inside joke maybe? Looking at the pictures, he looks around 5'10 (178cm).
Canson said on 27/Aug/17
I see what you said now. My bad. you said at least 196 and could be -98. He admitted 6'6" In the morning 6'5" in the evening. What stood out for me as well was when he mentioned his brother that he's the only one he has to look up at
Reece said on 27/Aug/17
@Cason. I didn't say that. I said he is 6-5 at the least and 6-6 at best. I believe he is rounding down. He would easily be about 200cm out of bed and measure about 197.5-198 later In the day. That's not what I meant
Canson said on 26/Aug/17
Reece said on 25/Aug/17
I don't know how you conclude Wlad was standing at the best. Wlad is 196cm minimum. But 198cm max. I believe in the latter still. And I don't believe he wears lifts all the time and certainly not in the RING.


Well said! HE is 198 out of bed and 196 at night. with the torso, he could easily lose more height (a full inch). He admitted that he is 6'5 so that is what he is
Reece said on 25/Aug/17
I don't know how you conclude Wlad was standing at the best. Wlad is 196cm minimum. But 198cm max. I believe in the latter still. And I don't believe he wears lifts all the time and certainly not in the RING.
Reece said on 25/Aug/17
@Robbe. We all have our own opinions. But that picture is Wlad bending his knee. The Robert one. Robert looks more than 1.5 inches taller than Wlad. Wlad is not standing straight. That's not good proof. Wlad is not standing tall with Wilder and it's leaning down. Price is minimum 6cm taller than Harrison at worse. It can look slightly above. I often see 3 inches on the dot. Max is implying he can't be taller. Wrong word. Just because we think somebody is 202 or 203cm doesn't mean they can't be a shade above.
Robbe said on 25/Aug/17
And finally, this picture was after all pretty accure. Even with standing at his best, Wlad couldn't be just 0.5in shorter than 6'6.5 Helenius/Wilder. End of.

Click Here
Robbe said on 25/Aug/17
@Reece, nah, Price is no moore than 6cm taller than Harrison. If you look at the pictures, Harrison's eyelevel is above Price's mouth. 205cm is most likely Price's morning height, and he drops to 203cm in the evening.

@Cobra, good link there. Wlad says he is 6'6 in the morning, and 6'5 in the evening. Case closed.
Reece said on 25/Aug/17
@Robbe. Not max. Because he is slightly taller than Fury who is taller than Ustinov. Not max,. Minimum. Those Pictures with Thompson often don't have them standing at there best. Price stands at his best with Audley Harrison who is a legit 197cm and he looks a solid 3 inches taller. Tyson Fury is 202cm minimum. The red flag he could be taller is he always looks close to 6-9 with the bigger guys. But not the small guys.
Cobra said on 24/Aug/17

CNROM89 said on 24/Aug/17
Then Tony Thompson 6'4,5-6'4,75 at best. He looks near 1 inches taller than Kubrat Pulev (6'3,5 i think.) but no as tall as Klitschko for sure.
Robbe said on 24/Aug/17
Price is max 203cm. He is no moore than 6-7cm taller than Thompson, as we can see from the pics i just posted. Tyson Fury is slightly shorter than Price, around 202cm. About Wlad, you never know if he's wearing lifts, or not, so its hard to judge his real height. He says he is 6'5, so reckon he is?
Reece said on 24/Aug/17
Price is 203cm at the worse. But it is likely imo Price is a little over 6-8. Wlad was still a inch taller in the RING. I still believe he is 198cm
Robbe said on 24/Aug/17
193cm is absolutely too low for Thompson. If you look pictures Thompson vs. Price, the difference is no moore than 6-7cm. We all know if your eyelevel reaches someones mouth, the difference is ~ 7cm. Do the math.

Click Here

Click Here

If Thompson is 193cm, then Price is no moore than 200cm, which is ridiculous, of course. So its pretty clear Thompson is 196cm, and Price is 203cm.
Canson said on 23/Aug/17
@CNROM89: agreed! And a guy that size would measure over 6'4" close to 6'5" in the AM worst case 6'4.5 so they round up. And for Wlad he admitted he's 6'6" out of bed 6'5" at night so he would be an inch taller than a strong 6'4 guy like Thompson
Reece said on 23/Aug/17
I doubt it. Thompson is a picture perfect 6-5. Slightly taller than a older Lennox Lewis and clearly taller than Pulev who could be 6-3 1/2-6-4. I struggle to believe less than 195-196cm.
CNROM89 said on 23/Aug/17
@Aswin MK

Tony Thompson is more of 6'4 guy. 6'4-6'4,25 is better for him.

I don't think Wladimir Klitschko is over 6'5,25.
Aswin MK said on 21/Aug/17
Rob - are you kidding us? The photo that you have posted on this page clearly shows Wladmir towering over a minimum 5 foot 8, British Boxer Amir Khan :) Considering his head is a minimum 10 inches, I will leave it up to you to do the math.

I would go with 6 foot 5.5 minimum or 6 foot 6. He was clearly taller than 6 foot 5 boxers such as Tony Thompson and looks equally tall when compared to Joshua :)
Editor Rob
yet he said he was 6ft 5.
Reece said on 17/Aug/17
@ Logan. Haye isn't 6-3. He might be 6-2 but that's tops maybe even 6-1.5. Wlad was much taller than Haye yes by at least 4 inches maybe more even without lifts. 6-7 is too much. 6-6 is very believable.
Logan said on 16/Aug/17
He looked taller than Joshua which is 6,6 so if Haye is 6,3 he might be 6,7 because he was a lot taller than Haye so I'm going to say 6,6-6,7
Christian-6'5 3/8" said on 11/Aug/17
@Canson

Well said. I think it's the same reason why a lot of people think Conor Mcgregor's a legit 5'9", when in reality he's 5'8"-5'8.25" range similar to Rob, not to mention Rob used to list Conor at a flat 5'8".
Canson said on 29/Jul/17
@Reece: or maybe not. A lot of people here guess based on what someone else is listed so if another guy is listed 6'5" and Wlad edges him that by deduction makes him 6'6". Nobody wants to find out if the other one "really isn't" 6'5". For some reason people inflate heights of others because it's not seen as "hating on them" whereas making them shorter is. Personally I think inflating someone's height after they've already claimed it is worse imho
Reece said on 23/Jul/17
@even. Not really. People guess different. Even if he is 6-5 he can pull of looking 6-6 easily. Even without lifts.
even said on 23/Jul/17
a legitimate 6'5" ( 196 cm ) man , anyone who says no is just not familiar with numbers .
Reece said on 22/Jul/17
Actually Wlad is taller than AJ in many pictures even in flats and AJ is taller at times. 200cm is too much I would say. Fury said he is 6-5 198 in their first pressed but 198cm Is 6-6. Fury could even be confused by the cm system. He had called himself 6-9 205cm but 205cm is 6-8.75.

i think dave allen was joking he looked the same height as Anthony Joshua.
Reece said on 22/Jul/17
@loka. Are u saying Wlad is 200cm?
Canson said on 22/Jul/17
Some food for thought If you have people saying he's as low as 6'4" Like Allen it means he isn't 200cm. Tyson fury also called him 6'5". He's no more than what he claims he is a strong 6'5 (196cm) guy. Joshua is taller than wlad is you can see it albeit barely I. The ring. Rob gave Joshua initially a full 6'6" but also conceded he's close to it. That said I highly doubt that AJ is less than maybe worst case 6'5.5 which is still about a cm difference.
Loka said on 20/Jul/17
He is taller than Anthony Joshua in boxing shoes.
I think he is 2 m.
Canson said on 11/Jul/17
@Reece: i doubt Lewis is 6'5" around midday if he's only a little over 6'5 out of bed. Height loss is more progressive in earlier hours than later. I don't disagree that Lewis may really be a hair over 6'5" when he wakes but that puts him at about the same as me maybe marginally taller 1/8 the same maybe even marginally shorter some days. I wake up at 6'5.08 and am a flat 195cm an hour out of bed if I'm on my feet usually then 6'4 5/8 after about 2 or so. I'm typically below 6'4.5 (194.2cm) after only 5 hours of just normal activities. That's just losing 3/4" most days. Lewis looks exact with Barkley who was 6'4 5/8 measured at the olympics in 92 so I would guess maybe he's 6'4.5 evening as is Lewis because we don't know when he was measured. Lewis could even drop to 194flat as some people on his page even say 193. Nobody here is perfect! But comparing to other people works in some cases I admit and in others it does not because that person will look taller or shorter next to certain people. Some posters look objectively some look in a way in correlation with someone else in. I mean if we took every celeb Rob has listed here I am sure some are measured first thing and are rounded up by a doctor or nurse or themselves some claim their actual measurement and are within 1/4" and some likely even are "strong territory" where they may measure later in the day and don't round down say if they're 1/4" over or so (and meaning the half who actually claim a "somewhat" legit measurement as in without shoes and only rounded up from above 1/2"). That said Wlad was specific about his measurements he said he's 6'6" Morning and 6'5 at night. He has a long torso looking at him so he may in fact lose an inch maybe not. Maybe he is over 6'6" by a hair upon waking maybe right at it and maybe he's a flat 6'5 or 6'5 1/8 (most likely) or 6'5.25. But with that logic if I wore the same shoe as Wlad with no lifts in mine (keep that in mind) and I claimed 6'5" and people assumed I was then people will assume Wlad is 6'6" because he's "close to" an inch taller. I mean the pics that are used sent the greatest here. Wlad could be 3/4" taller than Lennox and he considered an inch or 7/8" or between. He could also be an inch if Lewis comes down as low as some say. My personal opinion on Lewis is he's around 6'4.5 at his lowest give or take 1/8". Wlad there's no reason to discredit his claim when the other boxers are saying he's 6'5" and some even 6'4. I think the best estimate yet for him is what 184guy said when he compared him to AJ. AJ is taller than Wlad more than likely. When you have two people that close in height one can easily look taller especially on tv even if he's marginally shorter. Rob met AJ and said he's around 6'6". Is likely give the same estimate 184guy said around 197.5 worst case meaning he may dip to 197 and be a weak 6'6" which easily gives him close to what Rob said as Rob also said he had more footwear on. His definition of "weak" is 2/3-3/4 (I am a bit looser with it and say 1/2-3/4 though as someone who doesn't dip below 6'5.5 at night would be a weak 6'6 in my book). More than likely Wlad dips to a strong 6'5" at absolute best and at worst maybe he falls exactly to 6'5" "some days". 196-196.2 vs 197-197.5 look about realistic for both esp when Rob himself also says (tho he didn't meet Wlad) that AJ is likely the taller of the two
Reece said on 11/Jul/17
Thompson looks a inch or more taller than 6-3.5/6-4 Pulev. And slightly taller than Lewis. He would likely be 6-5 around mid day and a bit over out of bed. We won't know for sure. He could easily be rounding down u don't know
Canson said on 10/Jul/17
@Reece: define legit for me. Those guys you are referring to have no official measurements listed. We don't know if they are in shoes or barefoot. It could also be something simple as Thompson measures 6'4 1/2 or 3/4 in the morning where Wlad measures his 6'5.25 in the afternoon or evening. Both may have possibly measured it just at different times. If Wlad says he is 6'5 he is 6'5. Period.
Reece said on 5/Jul/17
@Canson. He is taller than 6-5 boxers. Like legit 6-5 Thompson. His official boxing listing as 6-6 198cm seems to be more likely.
Reece said on 28/Jun/17
I think Fury is 6-8 1/2 204cm and rounded to 6-9.
even said on 27/Jun/17
196 196 196 and no more . tyson fury is 205 cm maximum
Canson said on 27/Jun/17
Reece said on 26/Jun/17
@Canson. He knows it's barefoot. He is still been listed as 6-6 and 6-6.5 in pro boxing. It's weird he would put 6-6.5 on his website and he was said 198cm so many times. He has been taller than solid 6-5 footers in the ring to. Vitali is 4cm taller than Wladimir and sometimes it can look a bit less. I would go with Vitali 202 and Wladimir 198cm.

HE has also said he's 6'5 many times. The 6'6 or 6'6.5 is in shoes. That's how many athletes list themselves. Vitali is about 4CM or 5 taller nad he's a solid 6'7 guy or 6'6.75 is how I would go.

Wlad at 6'5'-6'5.25 (6'6 out of bed) makes the most sense. Wlad has said before that he is 6'6 out of bed and 6'5 in the evening. Definitely a stronger 6'5 tho like 196-196.2 cm. I still have AJ taller and agree with what 184 guy said. 197.5 (maybe 197-197.5 for AJ/ 196-196.5 for Wlad). Id say maybe 6'5.625-.75 vs 6'5 1/8-1/4 for Wlad. For AJ Rob guessing him 6'6ish would likely mean hes at least 197cm.

I'd still say 184guy had the best estimate so far 197.5 for AJ 196 for Wlad
MerkxX said on 13/Jun/17
he is 198cm,could not see him being shorter than AJ.
CreepX said on 12/Jun/17
Robbe:

Look at this picture, taken at the same time: Click Here

Here Wladimir stands more straight up and lifts his neck more, and the difference swings to his favour (on the picture)

Of course, he seems to stand closer to the camera, and Joshua are leaning a bit. But Joshua still has the more natural bodytype/posture advantage over Wladimir.

I just want to make a point, not claiming that Wlad is taller than Joshua. I feel that the truth is less than 1 cm between the two of them.


Im thinking about 196.6 cm for Klitschko and 197.3 cm for Joshua.
Editor Rob
you also can have 2 guys who have different shrinkage amounts, or extreme lows.

It's a bit like Jenny, she can still be 5ft 8.7 first thing, which really is barely less than me, but she drops down to 5ft 7.75 by afternoon, whilst I am still over 5ft 8...

at times I might only shrink half inch during the day, while she loses near a full inch.
CreepX said on 12/Jun/17
Robbe:

The only problem I see with that picture is posture. Wlad has got a longer torso and neck than Joshua. He needs to stand straight up to compensate the height drop of his walking height. Standing straight up/walking height drop/gain are not the same from person to person.

Me as an example looks shorter than my buddy in daily life,(1-2 cm) but when we do measure up - back to back - I am actually 0.5-1 cm(!) taller than him.

He has longer legs and shorter neck than me, so he doesnt drop/gain as much height depending on the posture as I do.

I can see the same problem regarding Joshua and Klitschko. (other than Wlads shoe/lifts problem as well)


My best guess is 196.5-197 cm for Klitschko and 197-197.5 cm for Joshua.
tom said on 7/Jun/17
Click Here. Metro bills AJ as 6-6 and Wlad is 6-6.5.it says Wlad is half a inch taller that cant be right can it?
Canson said on 6/Jun/17
Robbe good point!

Reece: that completely diminished your entire argument right there. Wlad doesn't know his own height when he said before he's 6'6" out of bed and 6'5 at night and always claims and looks 6'5"? Lennox Lewis if you see him next to a 6'4 5/8 measured Barkley looks no taller. Who cares what they claim because you don't believe Wlad's claim then why do you believe Lewis's claim? Only because it makes him taller? Btw being listed 6'6.5 on his website is because he is a boxer and he bills himself taller there in shoes. Meaning likely is 3cm shorter than that barefoot at 6'5.25 like Fob has him. No way he's a half inch shorter than his brother it's minimum 4cm like Rob said (he said about 5cm actually).Vitali may fall under 6'7" at his lowest and none of us could tell if he did. so if we have Vitali even 1/8-1/4" under 6'7" it makes Wlad around 6'5 1/4
Reece said on 5/Jun/17
Those Wilder and Helenius Pictures are keyed because Wlad is standing bad with both and even more so with Robert Helenius. even in flats he still looks taller than Bostice,Thompson and a lot of 6-5 or boxers just under.Click Here that is the staredown of Wlad and bostice both in flats. in fact Wlad looks more than a inch taller.
Robbe said on 2/Jun/17
Of all the pictures, this is perhaps the best picture to judge Wlad's real height. This pic has been posted earlier, but anyway, it is taken just after the fight, so i believe both men are still wearing boxing shoes, even it doesn't show up. Camera angle favours Wlad, and still, he doesn't appear taller.

Click Here

Forget all the staredowns, you never know if he wears lifts, or not. When he is in boxing shoes, he is cleary moore than just 1cm shorter than 199cm Helenius/Wilder. So he cant be 198cm.

Rob's listing is bang on, Wlad is 196cm and Joshua is 197cm. End of.
Bazza said on 2/Jun/17
@Canson - that is what i was going to say. Lewis is a shade under 6'5 and Wlad likely a shade over so that is why there is a slight difference that you can see but it isn't much and no more than half inch or so. For me, the listing looks pretty good for Wlad.
Reece said on 2/Jun/17
Lewis was listed as 6-4 3/4 before he jumped to 6-5. i think he is 195cm. not even a inch? Wlad is easily a few cm taller their.Wlad was listed 195cm at the olympics he has defo grew since his olympic days.Wlad is listed as 6-6.5 on his website. for instance on the Adam Corella Show Wlad said Vitali is 6-6 yet Vitali says he is 6-7. Wlad might not even be sure his own height. German TV listed Wlad as 6-6.5 199cm and Vitali 6-7.5 202cm or 6-8 203cm. Wlad was listed 6-6.5 on Box Rec a few years ago. he does not even seem to be sure his height. why would he say 6-5 but put bigger on his website and be listed bigger on tv?
Canson said on 1/Jun/17
@lucas: doubt he's under 6'5" flat highly but doubt he's over what rob has him listed either
Canson said on 1/Jun/17
Lewis is more like 6'4.5 and Wlad isn't an inch taller than him in that pic. 1/2-3/4" take into account that Wlad wears lifts? He's claimed 6'5" more than enough that's what he is albeit maybe a strong 6'5 like rob has him
Reece said on 1/Jun/17
He is taller than every 6-5 boxer or close to 6-5 boxer he has been next to. look at him next to 6-5 Thompson Wlad is always a good inch taller. no way is he 195cm,Lennox Lewis is 195cm,here is a pic of Wlad and Lennox Lewis.Click Here Wlad is right next to Lewis so no body is closer to the camara Wlad is obviously noticeably taller.

196 is bang on. Maybe not a low 6'5 flat but a strong 6'5 like rob has him is how he looks and with a long torso 198 out of bed 195.5 isn't out of the discussion. Just shows that legitimate 6'5 and 6'5.25 guys like him or Howard stern will always appear 6'6" just because you get a weaker 6'5" or even a classic 6'4" claiming 6'5" and making it look like crap
Lucas said on 31/May/17
this pretty much proves that Wlad is not 6'6", more like 6'4.5 to 6'5" Click Here
Lucas said on 31/May/17
@Reece in all the pics you posted Wlad is standing in front of the camera or is favoured by perspective gifting him inches of height, Wlad Klitschko over 195cm is simply unrealistic and out of question.

I think giving Joshua 6ft 5.75 is probably more realistic, I mean he did loo 6ft 6 but then did have at least .3 more sneaker.

@moreno, some Kiltschko is taller and sometimes AJ is taller. I think their both 6-6. How tall do u think Wlad and AJ are
Reece said on 21/May/17
Wlad is 198cm. Wlad is taller than every 195/96 boxer their are lots of pictures on the net. Vitali is 202cm he towers over 6-3 and 6-4 billed boxers.

Drepop.I know. but i dont count that one. he looks taller than AJ more often than not. even in some training pictures back in 2014. I still think he is more 6-6 than 6-5.

@Joe Joe: Conan inflates everyone's height that's why he called him 6'6/6'7
Drepop said on 13/May/17
@Leo In the weight in, wlad immediately put his sneakers on after he got off the scale. So after anthony got off the scale and did the staredown, he was still barefoot and wlad had shoes on.

Derek said on 13/May/17
it is easy to tell Wlad is taller than 6-5. He has been in the RING and Face to Face with 6-5 6-6 boxers and looked taller. check him with legit 6-5 Tony Thompson. David Bostice 6-5 billed. 6-6 Billed Ray Austin,Antony Joshua,Derek Jefferson all 6-6. Wlad is 6-6 to 6-6.5 Vitali towers over 6-3 and 6-4 heavyweights so he is 6-7.5 to 6-8.
Johno said on 12/May/17
Since Wlad always seems to edge Joshua, i would say Wlad is not far off 6'6.

Canson said on 2/May/17
Wlad has said himself before he's 6'6 out of bed 6'5" at night. With his torso it's easy to lose an inch in a day. He could potentially be 6'5.25 like Rob has him or 6'5 1/8 at his lowest while Joshua is more 197cm
Muresan80 said on 2/May/17
WK is clearly taller than AJ during the fight...
Derek said on 2/May/17
every body has their own opinions. but in my opinion i have been thinking for years Wlad was taller than 6-5. every time he is to a 6-5 boxer he looks taller. David Bostice he fought back in 2000s and Wlad was like 2 inches taller. Lennox Lewis as well and Wlad is clearly taller than him.6-5 Tony Thompson. 6-6 Derek Jefferson and Ray Austin he was clearly a bit taller than both. these were all giant men and Wlad was taller than all of them.he was a bit taller than AJ on Saturday on the weekend.
Robbe said on 2/May/17
P.S. Wlad is not even taller in your pic, Leo. Notice AJ is leaning on Wlad. You always loose some height when your leaning on someone. AJ is also bending his head. Still, he appears the same height as Wlad.

Click Here

So AJ is definitely taller one there.
Gman said on 1/May/17
Looks like this debate will never be resolved, despite MOUNTAINS of evidence that they are both EXACTLY the same height. If there is a centimeter between them I'd be surprised. Wlad is not Houdini, he is not trying to trick us all about his height. My father was 6'2.5" but almost always said "six-two" when asked. He rounded down. Wlad rounded down. I think Wlad measures 6'5.75 midday. He is a very tall man.
Robbe said on 1/May/17
Sorry Leo, but i have to disagree, Wlad is closer to the camera. Just look at his left shoulder. Camera angle definitely favours Wlad there.

@Leo, that pic is no good as well, Wlad is closer to the camera. Just like in this pic, Joshua is closer to the camera.

Click Here

Its really about centimeters, if your 5-10cm closer to the camera, it adds several centimeters to your height. Guess we'll never know for sure which one is taller, my guess is A.J. is 1-2cm taller. He really looked slightly taller in the pics taken in Wembley stadium grass before the match.
177 cm (m|GER/NRW/CGN) said on 1/May/17
@Leo
Pause after 1min you can see Wlad closer to the cam still shorter. There's a clear 1" advantage Joshua -WITHOUT LIFTS. Klitschko does the Big G, trick quick nap in Hotel, to appear even more impressive with his Don's
Big T said on 1/May/17
Joshua only looked taller when they were fighting at range because they have different boxing stances. Boxers don't fight standing upright so that's a terrible comparison. When they came together, clinched,embraced after the fight etc, Joshua clearly didn't look as tall as when in his very upright fighting stance.
Paul said on 30/Apr/17

In the ring I thought Wlad looked a fraction taller during the stare down but during the fight they each looked taller at points and it was really hard to say for sure who was taller.

I don't think the 0.75" advantage for AJ can be justified. I would just give them both 6' 5 1/2"

@Shiva: I doubt someone that size loses a full inch honestly but Wlad with the long torso maybe. I'd go more with

Wlad 198-199 (tops) if he loses a full inch or 198-198.5 is more likely of the two/ 195.5-196 or 196-196.5

AJ 199-199.5/ 196.5-197
Canson said on 29/Apr/17
Mark I don't think you are far off. He claimed 6'7" that could be a morning or earlier measurement and maybe he's 6'6.75 people round up so it could be right. None of us here is that good that we can tell 1/2" diff
Canson said on 29/Apr/17
Vitali is 200 range Odom is at most 6'9" barefoot
Canson said on 29/Apr/17
Robbe is correct. Joshua is taller of the two. I'd say at worst it's a full cm 196 vs 197
Bazza said on 29/Apr/17
Near 2" booster trainers on!

I'm still expecting at least half an inch in AJ favor. I will eat my words if not!
177 cm (m|GER/NRW/CGN) said on 29/Apr/17
I'm still convinced he was in Lifts... unfortunatly we can't se his feets.
manbearpig said on 29/Apr/17
Wlad boosters make me think hes def in the 6'4-6'5 range
Kano said on 29/Apr/17
@Sonny Black. 6-6.5? your probably concluding that on how he looked next to Kilschko. in the Fight Fury was like 2.5-3 inches taller. Kiltschko was wearing heavy duty listed. Fury fought a guy called tony Nelshaw who is 6-7 and he looked taller. he looked nearly the same as David Price who claims to be 6-9. Tyson Fury was also clearly taller than 6-7 1/2 Ustinov in the weigh in
anyways these are what i think for the following Heavyweight Figures from Tallest to Shortest
Price 6-8 1/2 or 6-9
Fury 6-8 1/2
Wilder 6-7
Kiltschko 6-6
AJ- 6-5 1/2
Hughie Fury 6-5 1/2
Lennox Lewis 6-4 1/2
Reece said on 29/Apr/17
Wlad still looked taller than AJ in the Face off when both were wearing shoes Wl
Robbe said on 28/Apr/17
Yeah, Joshua was barefoot, while Wlad was wearing his boosted trainers. That's why the difference.
Johno said on 28/Apr/17
Wlad had some 1-inch trainers on at the weigh-in and Joshua was barefoot but the difference looked more than inch.

Also at the press briefing yesterday at the presa briefing when Joshua and Wlad faced off again in humour, Wlad was the taller guy.
Mark said on 28/Apr/17
Hi Adam re Vitali being around 6"6.5 I just called as I saw it. I've met guys around that height so confident not far off.
177 cm (m|GER/NRW/CGN) said on 28/Apr/17
Yeah Jam, it seems as if AJ is still barefoot.
He doesn't strike me as the text book lift-wearer. Facing Tyson it was a psychological plot...
Jam said on 28/Apr/17
Wlad put his shoes back on after the weigh in. Joshua was barefoot
miko said on 28/Apr/17
He had some monsters on at the weigh in..
Adam said on 28/Apr/17
@Mark. Vitali 6-6? are you kidding? look at the Lamar Odam pictures. Vitali is actually as tall as 6-7.5. He wasnt more than 2 inches shorter than Lamar with a 0.75 inch disadvantage. Vitali was the same height as Timo Hoffman a guy who was also 6-7.5 a while back. Lennox is a legit 195cm i dunno if he is shorter now and Vitali was like 6-7 cm taller. Vitali could also be 6-7 but no lower.
tim181 said on 28/Apr/17
Don't know how he elongates at weigh-ins
Click Here
Looks to have more height on Joshua like he did with Fury. Surprising thing is his sneakers don't look chunky either.
Sonny Black said on 28/Apr/17
Wlad is probably 6'5 flat. Fury isn't 6'9 like he claims, Fury is probably more like 6'6.5. I notice that Wlad is a bit taller than Joshua who claims 6'6, so I'm guessing Joshua is really 6ft 4.25inch and Wlad is 6'5.
Reece said on 28/Apr/17
Is Wlad wearing Lifts? He looked 2 inches taller at the weigh in that AJ
anon said on 28/Apr/17
Wlad looked a tad taller than Joshua at the weighin, did he have is booster shoes on again
Daniel said on 28/Apr/17
Watch last press conference - face to face. Klitschko is a little bit taller than Joshua.
Big T said on 28/Apr/17
ROB- we've just seen the pre-fight square off. Klitschko has 1 solid inch on AJ which makes him a 'press conference 6'7"' as per your own AJ listing. You still think it's 1.75 inches of footwear?
Editor Rob
I think he was a bit taller, but he knows about positioning and we just don't know what he has in his footwear, it's a big unknown.
Bazza said on 28/Apr/17
@Muresan80- interesting, i believe it to be the other way around. We will see tomorrow in the ring who has it for sure, no trickery possible when both in boxing boots. lets not forget Wlad looked near a 6'8 Fury last time out all over in the build up before the bout, but looked a good 2.5 - 3 inches down on fight night, same with the 190cm and a supposed same as Bellew - David Haye, who was clearly was way shorter in the ring :-) ......
shiva 181 cms said on 28/Apr/17
Wladimir klitschko's height

6'6.25-5(199cms) out of bed at best
6'5-5.25(196cms) before bed at worst

Anthony Joshua's height

6'6.5(199-200cms) out of bed at best
6'5.5(197cms) at worst before bed
Canson said on 27/Apr/17
Similar in height with Christian maybe a 1/8" or so shorter. Would wake at maybe a full 6'6 (198) and drop to around 195.5-196 with the long torso
Mark said on 27/Apr/17
Saw Vlad last night at Wembley Arena, 6"5 about right his btother Vitali a big man at around 6"6/6"6.5
Muresan80 said on 27/Apr/17
Clearly taller than Joshua by an inch Wlad is 199 cm and Joshua 197 max
Robbe said on 27/Apr/17
David Price is nowhere near 206cm Click Here

Just check him with Audley Harrison and Tony Thompson. He is max 203cm. That's also his billed height in Boxrec, which is correct. Page for Price, please, Rob.
luke said on 26/Apr/17
that is highly poosible to.also another thing to note. When Wlad Fights in Germany it lists him at 199cm. 198/196 is possible to. be i would go with 199/197. i dont think he will be shorter than Joshua i think eye to eye. but like i said,i could be wrong....
Canson said on 25/Apr/17
Possible. We're more 1cm apart so no we're close no need to split hairs. I'd go 198/196
Lucas said on 24/Apr/17
Page for David Price?
luke said on 23/Apr/17
if Wlad said he is 6-6 in them morning but gives 6-5 as his height it means he is going with a low. Wlad is 199 out of bed in my opinion and 197 before bed. he could be rounding down.i know a guy who is 6-5.5 but rounds down to 6-5 because its easier. Vitali looks 4cm taller than Wlad to me. again just a opinion....
Canson said on 21/Apr/17
@Luke: uh. Wlad said he's 6'5" he didn't say 197. And if you have guys like Allen saying he's only 6'4" he's probably not over a solid 6'5". He also said he's 6'6" out of bed and 6'5" evening. His brother has him by 1.5-2" he's 6'6.75-6'7 yes but to say they definitively give their low heights is speculation
the Slav said on 19/Apr/17
Wlad is probably 196.5'ish at his extreme low (e.g. after a workout) and 199-199.5 out of bed.
Huge mf'er lol
luke said on 19/Apr/17
Wlad is 199cm at his highest and 197cm at his lowest. Vitali 203cm at his highest and 201cm at his lowest. the Kiltschkos are the few athletes how give their height at a low
Canson said on 18/Apr/17
@Johno: have to disagree think it's the other way around AJ is more 197 he's 195.5-196.2
Johno said on 17/Apr/17
He is taller than AJ and you will see that in the ring.
Reece said on 13/Apr/17
He has stood next to 6-5 and looked taller each time. 195cm Lewis,196cm Thompson,196cm Bostice and 196cm Pianneta. Wlad could easily be getting the metric unit confused in forgin countries they may not have used them very much. It could be a physiological ploy as well. Click Here. Wlad looks a inch taller than Tony Thompson
Ice said on 13/Apr/17
Wlad has claimed 6'5 . Thats a fact . Now why would someone who is obviously height - concious (he's a undisputedlety tall guy and wears lifts bc He thinks He isnt tall / imposing enough than He already is) Claim a height SHORTER than 6'6 If He is that height ? Do you guys think that he doesnt know his real height? Its ridicilous . He is a solid 6'5 and Not 6'4 nor 6'6. , End of Story !
Robbe said on 12/Apr/17
Btw guys, did you noticed how Wlad is tiptoeing in his sandals in the picture grizz posted on 4 April?

Click Here

He looks taller than his 6'6" partner and i wondered why, untill i realised Wlad is tiptoeing there.
Robbe said on 11/Apr/17
Pictures taken in the Wembley stadium grass, both men wearing trainers, A.J. looks taller in allmost every picture. But when both men are wearing dressing shoes, Wlad looks taller. I think we all know the reason why..
Canson said on 10/Apr/17
Wlad is 195-196. Tops a full 196.
AJ is 196-197. Lowest could be 196.5 high 197. He's somewhere between a strong 6'5" and weak 6'6 while Wlad is a strong 6'5@ in the low end of it
Canson said on 10/Apr/17
Ice is correct he is 6'6" out of bed and 6'5" at his lowest. Rob has him appropriately listed even if he may drop a fraction under 6'5.25. He has claimed 6'5" for his height enough times that he most likely is that height. Don't know why we believe guys who claim to be like 6'2" and are 6'0" or claim 6'4-6'5 like the Rock who is actually 6'2" but when someone tells the truth about their height they inflate him. Wlad knows the difference between 6'5 and 6 and a half feet
Ollie said on 10/Apr/17
@Shiva. Wlad can look shorter but he can look taller a some pictures.Click Here. Wlad looks taller than AJ even with both in flats in my pic.I dunno who is really taller. could be any of them
shiva 181 cms said on 10/Apr/17
Come on guys do you think wlad is taller than Joshua no definitely not
Here we can see their footwear and wlad has a bit footwear advantage Click Here
Imo wlad is 6'5.26 as listed and claimed by him and Joshua is 6'5.75
If he got confused and said six five which implies 6.5 feet
Then what would six six imply 6.6 or 6'7.2 ?
Athletes have a perfect idea of body statistics given he is the hwc for years

Reece said on 9/Apr/17
Ice. Wlad looks taller than AJ in some pictures even in Flats. i think Wlad could edge out AJ. Wlad always looked taller than 6-5. i think he would be a bit bigger than 198cm out of bed. i think Wlad would be 199cm early on and measure 197-197.5 late on in the day like before bed. i think he would be 6-6 for a lot the day...
Canson said on 9/Apr/17
Agreed Ice 198 out of bed 195-196 or full 196 lowest
Ice said on 9/Apr/17
Ok so let me get this straight once and for all. Wlad is a solid 6'6"/198 cm Out of bed guy ans is a NOTORIOUS Lift wearer . those monsters give him over an inch to his height with dress shoes on. Joshua never looked shorter than him on any occasion , only with certain camera angles . Wlad is 6'5" without lifts and claiming that Joshua Stands at 6'4 is Just pathetic and sad.

No way is Wlad 196cm in my opinion. Wlad is taller than AJ IMO in most pictures. Wlad is 198cm for sure and AJ is a bit less probably 197cm. here are some pictures.Click Here. Wlad looks taller in most pictures. i doubt he is 0.75-1 inch shorter

-------

I agree with AJ being 197cm, but Wlad isn't 198cm. He just tends to wear lifts when he's around AJ for some reason.
Canson said on 8/Apr/17

Intresting you have Kiltschko at 196 and AJ at 198cm.Kiltschko looks taller than AJ in most pictures with Flats on.i think AJ in 197cm but Wlad is 198cm.
Mathew said on 3/Apr/17
Kiltschko changed from 1cm insert to 2cm. it is very possible he is putting something in his boxing shoes. Why would Chuck Wepner lie about Wlad being 6-4. Wlad might not be putting a direct lift but he could easily be getting his Heels raised. i have seen both Kiltschko brothers look bigger in press confrences than in RING. Wlad seems to love Lifts. look at him with Pulev who himself in 6-4 yet Wlad look 4 inches taller in confrences. he could easily be 6-4 barefoot but making himself look bigger with lifts. remember lifts come in all forms even in socks.
Ian said on 2/Apr/17
I think it's absurd to suggest that the heavyweight champion of the world for almost a decade, has risked losing every fight he had by wearing lifts in his boxing shoes. Seriously, it's just crazy. He is clearly somewhere in the 6'5" to 6'6" range. Not 6'4"
Gman said on 2/Apr/17
Come on guys Wlad is very likely 6'5.25" at his lowest of lows. Like at midnight before bed. No way on earth does he wear lifts in his boxing shoes. That would be bad for his balance. I can believe he uses boxing shoes with a slightly thicker sole and insole, maybe giving him a 1 inch boost over barefoot height but that's all. I that his 6'5 quote actually means 6.5 or 6 and-a-half feet. Remember he comes from a world were the metric system is boss. And take a look at the face-off with Fury at the weigh in. Wlad has in running shoes. With a lift in there, which I can believe is possible, he is maybe 2 inches over barefoot height so lets say 6'7.5". Which would be about right based on the way he looked with Fury who I believe is between 6'7 and 8. No way on earth is this guy a flat six four. He is very likely NOT wearing lifts with his MANY stare-downs with Anthony Joshua, that's his real height folks.
Matthew said on 2/Apr/17
Strange. i just read a article in 2009 about 6-5 Chuck Wepener saying Wlad is not the 6-6 everybody thinks and that he is really 6-4. David Allen said Wlad is 6-4 to and Hughie Fury who is 6-6 said Wlad was wearing Lifts and he is shorter than Hughie then Hughie started pointing to his forehead that would imply Wlad is 6-4. if Wlad is really 6-4 then he must be putting Lifts into all his shoes including Boxing shoes. this would mean if Wlad is 6-4 that Vitali cannot be much more to because he is taller than Wlad by a inch to a inch in a half tops no more than that. are the Kiltschko brothers putting on that 6-6 and 6-7 impression by putting lifts into all their shoes including their boxing ones.got me thinking.
Canson said on 1/Apr/17
@Robbe: i agree. I don't get why all these people here think Wlad downplays his height. He's said many times he's 6'5". And even said once he's 6'6" out of bed 6'5" evening. That looks the most precise
Canson said on 31/Mar/17
Wlad is 6'5" not 6'6".

Out of bed 198cm-198.5

Before bed 196cm
Robbe said on 31/Mar/17
@Paul, i find it quite odd that Wlad appears shorter than Wilder in every picture found in the net. Quite a coincidence? You should think that Wlad would be similar height at least in one picture? Wlad posture aint so bad afterall, exept the last picture.

Also, Wilder might be just flat 6'6". He looks shorter than 6'6.25 listed Carmelo Anthony, and he is definitely shorter than Kelvin Price, who is around 6'6-6'7.
Paul said on 31/Mar/17
@Robbe. Wlad thinks 6-5 is 198cm when it is he is getting the cm unit confused.In the Vitali Kiltschko height thing Rob even says Wlad said 6-5 198cm i doubt he fluffed the conversation. Wlad does realise 198cm is 6-6 and not 6-5.Wlad is standing awful with both Wilder and Robert not up Straight and at his best thats why he looks a couple inches shorter. AJ is not taller than Wlad in most pictures even in Flats Wlad is the taller man. AJ looks 6,5.5 with Rob and Wlad is full out 6-6. i Doubt AJ is a inch taller than Wlad and Wlad is taller in most pictures.
Canson said on 28/Mar/17
Robbe: completely agree with you
Robbe said on 27/Mar/17
There's no way Wlad is 198-199cm. Robert Helenius and Deontay Wilder are both 199cm and they edge out Wlad by 3-4cm. I believe Wlad has said his morning height is 198cm. That means he is flat 196cm (6'5).
Paul said on 24/Mar/17
How can Wladimir say he is 6-5 when he is actually could be as tall 6,6.5. Wladimir is 198-199. he looks no less than 17 inches taller than his 5-1 partner. David Haye is not the small man people keep saying i have met him and he looks in the 187-188 range. i really think Haye is 6-2 but Wlad was like 4-4.5 inches taller than Haye. Vitali is massive to easily 202cm he makes 6-3 and 6-4 look shorter. look at Wlad next to Johnny nelson not long ago in training camp and Johnny reckons he is 6-5 yet Wlad towers over him. Lennox Lewis is a 195-196cm guy and Wlad is taller. and David Bostice who is 6-5 and Wlad is taller too. as for AJ i doubt he is under 6,5.75 and the pic with you he doesnt even seem to be Standing his best. AJ does look 6-6 with Charles Martin and other boxers.Wlad 6-6 to 6,6.5
Canson said on 23/Mar/17
@Andrew: I'd put AJ more 197 maybe 6'5.5 (196.85) and Wlad 6'5-6'5.25 but you're right a cm maybe 1/2" is all it is
Canson said on 23/Mar/17
@Nick: respectfully disagree: Joshua wakes up north of 6'6" and is nothing less than 196 range. I'd go 197 but it's possible rob may have overestimated him because it's such a small difference but he can easily tell he isn't 6'4".
Nick said on 22/Mar/17
Andrew said on 22/Feb/17
Nick Joshua is taller than Klitschko. Klitschko wears lifts. Take note when they're both in the ring AJ will be 1cm taller. Joshua is 198 and Wlad probably 196-197 without lifts. Again, take note in the ring.


Dear Andrew I would be willing to bet on this, your claims will be debunked the moment they are stepping on that ring, besides I just dont buy all this Wlad is wearing lifts or whatever stop joking. Oh and you made me laugh so hard like you can spot a 1 cm difference??? cmon not even if you had a magnifier.
Nick said on 22/Mar/17
@steve,

And now we can review some Math together. "6'5.45" is not 6'6"....I'll give you a few days to take than in.

Also keep in mind Ace that When I said he doesn't have 9"-10" on Rob, that means 10" ( after taking into account the footwear). If you meant 10" Including footwear then my fault, may have thought that's would you actually meant.....HOWEVER....If you still somehow think Joshua has 10" on Rob with equal footing then you SHould start to Worry.




The issue here that nobody seem to consider is that when you claim Joshua is X height you mean in shoes because in the pic with Rob he has sneakers on, which means that when Joshua is really 193cm barefoot in sneakers he should be about 195cm (also according to that picture with Rob also seen that Joshua is clearly stretching up to the point of looking stiff everytime he poses no matter with who) but not without shoes big difference in there.

Beside I really cant say for sure but Ive serious doubts on these pictures with Rob, you never get to see their feet and even if you could who says Rob or someone else is not retouching the pictures in order to make these guys the billed heights?

Check the pictures where Joshua is standing besides 190cm barefoot Eddie Hearn, then check Eddie Hearn next to 175cm billed Luke Campbell and you will know what I mean...
