Yeah, 10 inch head is believable... You look about an inch above his chin, so that's 9 inches, let's say 9 good inches AT MOST. Considering the fact you're 5'8.25, you can say he can pull off 6'5.5 in the picture (certainly not over though). Take away 0.3 inches and 6'5-6'5.25 is probably his barefoot range! I'm sure a guy like Big Ali, who is a legit 6'6, would be taller than him!

I don't think I was that much above his chin, but he did seem taller than some guys who claim 6ft 6 (like nonso anozie and rory mccann), although I think he has a slightly above eyelevel for his height.

On a side noticed from weigh in of Joshua vs Whyte that Eddie Hearn the promoter is really tall. Pretty much eye to eye with 6'6'' Joshua. Hearn isn't really a celebrity I suppose but when you are a height obsessive you can't help but notice these things.

Gaining weight or getting bigger Photos don't make u taller
Andrea said on 13/Dec/15
For those who say that he looks 6'6 with Rob, look at Big Ali with Michael Rooker who is supposed to be 5'9... Unless this guy has a 11 inches head or he's losing an inch in posture, he doesn't look 6'6! He looks a good 6'5, but considering he has got more shoes, 6'5 flat is what he looks HERE! And that also makes sense if you look him with Wlad...

Very rare to see boxers/MMA fighters/wrestlers whose height listing is legit spot on.
James B said on 13/Dec/15
Rob maybe give this guy 6'5.75 since you think he is 6'5.5-6'6

Rob, do you really think that a guy like Hopper is a big 1 inch smaller ? They are quite close,and one had the advantage of the footwear.
EzioAuditore711 said on 12/Dec/15
Doesn't look under 6'6'' to me.
pablo77bar(184cm) said on 12/Dec/15
Very simillar to the Big C
Rob,do you think that he is a potential Clive Russell ?
joe @@ said on 12/Dec/15
clearly higher than Joe Manganiello
Andrea said on 12/Dec/15
Then do you think an inch has gone away, Rob? He doesn't look 6'6 in the picture, that's for sure!
Editor Rob
I think his head would be near 10 inches, so I'd say he looks over 6ft 5. You could argue 6ft 5.5
The Exorcist said on 12/Dec/15
He's about the same as Wladimir Klitschko.
6'5.25"- 6'5.5" range.
S.J.H said on 12/Dec/15
Look more like 6'5.5 consider he had long head and 0.3inch more shoe as rob say. Really not quite 6'6 and maybe measure earlier day at 6'6 could be possible?

He's smaller than Vladimir Klitschko - 6'5.
kaplaaa said on 12/Dec/15
Some people will say he is a strong 6"5 rather than the full 6"6, but I think he really is that tall. Next to other fighters he looks it consistently.
TJE said on 11/Dec/15
6'5.5'6'5.75
Mathew Robinson (190 cm) said on 11/Dec/15
He could be rounding up. Taking into account the footwear advantage he should look about 199 cm, yet doesn't quite really.
Gaz said on 11/Dec/15
Glad you're adding more ombat sports athletes recently keep them coming! and I would say he is 6'6. Would like to see him and Fury next to each other.
Emil 183 cm said on 11/Dec/15
@Rob
Judging from the picture he looks more 6'5 range. Did he look 6'6 in person?
Canson said on 11/Dec/15
Rob,
He looks 6'5ish with you. Your head comes near where a 5'8 person would on me and I'm mid 6'4 at my lowest!!!
mrtguy said on 11/Dec/15
Solid 10 inches.
miko said on 11/Dec/15
A full 6'6 Rob? I do think he's in that range but he has looked a tad under it a few times. Great posture.
Andrea said on 11/Dec/15
Considering he also has more shoes, he definitely looks more 6'5 range than 6'6! Also, he doesn't look any taller than Wlad... If anything, Wlad can look taller in some photos!
It seems you are a bit generous with these boxers you're meeting, Rob! Well, except for Big Wlad :)
Editor Rob
up close he was taller than 6ft 5 guys for sure. I watched him with a few people in this queue and 6ft 5.5-6 range he generally looked with them...
