Editor RobI think anywhere in 5ft 8-8.5 range is arguable.

No taller than Rob even with more footwear. He's not 5'8.25" More like 5'7 7/8".

If both were Bald It would be impossible to tell who is taller although François could be more of 5'8 flat since he has 1/4 advantage.Did he look 174 with you?

Editor Rob5ft 8 flat or 8.25...I think up close he seemed like he was near 5ft 8.5, minus a little fraction and in the solid 5ft 8 range I'd say.

Doubt he's the full 5'8" let alone a strong one.

Given the shoe advantage I think Rob would edge out this guy.

Don't let Francois' hair fool you. Rob edges him out here despite having 1/4" inferior footwear.
5'7.75" for Francois, very weak 5'8 guy.

rob Is it true that Cambodians are really short like the male average I Heard is 5 ft 3.5 - 5 ft 4? if so I Guess this guy is Pretty tall for his homeland.
his a tiny fraction taller from what I can see so I Agree with The Listing.

Editor Rob yes I'd expect 5ft 4 range for Cambodia.

Rob, would you say that with 1/4 inch more shoes, he looked a typical 174 guy? If not, I agree with shredder, he's pretty much identical height in pic so that would put him more 5ft 7.75 to 5ft 8 barefoot. The quarter inch seems unnecessary.

Editor Rob sometimes the closer someone is it can be hard to tell is this person a fraction taller/smaller.

Rob , how much posture is he losing? If he is not losing 1/2 than you look to be taller than him and he has 1/4 shoes over you.

Editor Rob when someone is very close, sometimes you can think they are slightly taller or shorter. I certainly didn't think he was shorter (albeit with him having slight shoe advantage).

Rob , If you think he was the same as you and he had more footwear and you only give yourself 5 '8 1/8 he is no more than 5 '8 .

Rob how bad was his posture? going by the hair you showed me he looks the same height as you but has .25 more shoes , so I say 5'8 flat , if his postures bad than I actually can see 5'8.5.

Editor Rob I think from eyelevel greeting him he was as close as I could tell to our heights

Rob he must have really bad posture , even his hair is only even with yours and his eyes and chin or lower , plus more footwear , he is 5'7.75 max or just really not standing correct.

Big head and posture has me fooled here. I'd have guessed 174 just looking at the photo.

His hair and posture is hard to tell , I think he looks shorter than Rob , though he can be taller.

His tall hair faked you out a little bit, Rob. He's probably a tad under 5'8".
He also seems to have a surprisingly large head for a guy his size.

@dj height isnt all about eye level, if that was the case we would get measured to our eyes. He could have a 1-2cm more head than rob.

He's 0.25" shorter and yet has a 0.25" footwear advantage. He's 0.5" shorter than you Rob, which puts him at 5' 7.75". You're being kind to him here.

I think that he is leaning a bit in this picture so 174 is possible even 174.5 but no more than that

I agree Rob , that he will still be 5'8.5 if he had better posture ... I felt that he was that for years ! Im glad you got him on here ! ... If you ever meet Saito he might be " The Shocker " looking under 5'8 !
Get a pic with Saito , then a pic with ME and you can make a Shredder page lol !

Editor Rob I go with 174cm, I felt he was around that mark. I'm pretty sure he has slightly looser posture here, a cm anyway.
Yes, he was a gentleman.
