Vegas, yes my head is small for my proportions, I would say, 9.5" as I measured just now. Smaller than Hogan's most likely. I have long limbs as well... people will maybe think I play basketball, sometimes, so I guess you could describe me in that dimension.

Atoadaso you are 6'5 and have a 9" head based on your description, thats very small, do you have basketballer type dimensions (long legs, long arms etc)

I'm 6'5", and 5'8" comes up to about 1 to 1.5" below my bottom lip standing relaxed, and to just about the bottom of my head standing tallest. Compared with Hogan and mean Gene, I'd say he is a solid 6'4", maybe a tad over, and 6'5" being the highest I would ever likely estimate. He looks very tall in the picture with Greg, 6'6" - 6'6.5", but angles can really distort things by huge amounts such as even 4-5".
Hogan prime: 6'4" 1/4
Hogan now: 6'3" 1/4

JT; there is not that huge of an amount of difference between hogan/stallone 1982 and hogan/stallone 2005 (certainly not 3" in any case) Click Here hogan has sly by around 6" in that video in 2005

No less than 6'5 1/4 305 in his prime, no more than 6'6 315. 6'5 3/4 310 is about right, 6'3 3/4 270-280 now.

On one of those VH1 shows a few years back, Hulk was talking about his height and Stallone's height. He said Sly was "5'9 or 5'10", and that he himself was "6'6", and he said it in a way that indicated he was stretching it. So I'd say Hulk at his peak wasn't quite 6'6, and isn't quite 6'4 now.

That is right Alex the monster Abyss was listed at 6'4" in most wrestling site in the internet. I think TNA over billed him at 6'8" or 6'10" sometimes when he is facing a much smaller opponent.

I don't think Hogan was ever over 6'6" pre-1990. That was his absolute tallest barefoot of course. Today, I give him 6'3 1/4".

Ive met abyss on many occasions and ive stood near him with my friends and weve totally anylised how tall he is in normal footwear and we all said just over 6'5. met a few other tall wrestlers over the years and abyss is the smallest of the tall guys by far.

I think Hogan maximum peak height was 6"6 and a maximum height of 6"4 now (if he stood fully upright), therefore losing 2" of height. Morning height, I think Hogan could have we been close to 6"7 in the morning.

Alex, I also believe that Kurt Angle is a legit 5'10 and HBK is an inch taller than him in their staredown in Wrestlemania 21. By the way Lance Hoyt admitted he was a legit 6'7" in his myspace page, which will give you the idea that the Monster Abyss is a solid 6'5"-6'6".

Christian sure looks taller than 5'10 in that video standing next to kutcher (they look the same height) Edge is still under investigation though, he does look 6'4 at times, looked 6'5+ one time with hogan in the middle of the ring.

Ashton I think is a legit 6'2. 6'1.5 at the lowest.
Edge I pet at 6'2.5 at least, maybe 6'3. Christian was always a few inches shorter, like 3-4 inches making Christian 5'11 yet he was billed at 5'10 but was then billed at 6'1 some years later.

i see nearly everyone is still ignoring the sasso videos, the fact that trips was only 8" shorter than Shaq, 2" max shorter than big ben, always has at least 1" plus on vince.
Viper; again we are talking about 1 photo with Noel and Booker. yes he looks approx 4" shorter but he is leaning badly. Booker doesn't look any more than 5" shorter than 6'7 Ted Hendricks; what gives the david noel photo more importance over the hendricks one??

Well folks, like almost everything else on here you are basing your estimates on pictures. In many photos Hogan, like Andre are leaning over or bending their knees slightly which if you don't know can easily take 3-4 inches off your height just try it yourself if you don't believe. I base my knowledge on factual evidence, I have stood next to both Hogan and Andre back in 1989 and at 5'8" I only came up to the bottom of Hulk's chest and Andre's belly. Andre also cleared Hogan by almost his entire head which if you remember was enormous and much larger than anyone else's. In Andre's later years he was for the most part unable to stand straight up. Finally, if you really take a look at the WM3 picture of the famous stare down you will notice that Hogan only comes up to Andre's mouth at best and andre's head was alone 18" from chin to top. Sorry guy's, I believe in some cases yes they have exagurrated heights and especially weights but with Andre and Hulk their was never any need to do so. Ron.

You have to be new to this site because there have been numerous pics to show Hogan at his tallest was maybe 6'6 (I think 6'5) and no more than that.

Vegas, those are probably the same dress shoes that Hogan wore when he towered over ~ 5'11" Stacey Keibler in heels. Regarding the 1986 video with Mr. T, Hogan's good at making sure he's standing a little closer to the camera to make him look taller and larger. Notice also how Hogan's almost always on the left side of the interviewer (right side of screen). I assume this is because his left biceps is larger than the right.

Upon having left the WWF in 1993, he lost even more size. there are articles on him from 1993, where he was promoting either Mr. Nanny, or Suburban Commando and they had hit at 6'6" and 260 pound actor.

No way was hogan ever 230, maybe in high school. Even when he was low he was just down to 270+ from 310. That's 40 lbs, that is gonna be real noticable on anyone under 400. And he was about 6'6 in his prime, no more than that to be sure. Some people are able to hold height really well, to witin 1 inch all the way till their like 70. But some, like hogan, really shrink up early on. I think he is only about 6'3.5, 275-280 now.

"I used to be 6ft 7, but after knee, neck and back surgeries I'm now about 6ft 4".
What Hogan said is true, and makes sense. And add the fact that he's older now, that's 3 inches shorter.
The samething was said by the wrestler "Undertaker". He said he used to be 6'10" but now he says he's 6'8", because of the injuries and all.
I have one more point to make, wrestlers have a habit of wearing very tall boots.

JT, he was never ripped in the 80's. What he had was SIZE and A LOT of it. Bodybuilders only get "ripped" when in competition. It requires lowering one's bodyfat count. This was not Hogan's objective back then.

I read an article in 1993 just before hogans return saying he was down to 235lbs... looking back i could give him that weight legit, he looked as skinny as edge back then, maybe a little more muscular but not much. I also remember Sweet Stan Lane on commentary usually giving far more realistic heights and weights. He said razor ramon was 6'5 and 260lbs when his listed height and weight were 6'7 287lbs

Not sure about Hogan ever being 325lbs? He looked 300-305lbs at his peak to me but I could be wrong. But he looks heavier in 93-94 than he does now though.

Shaq was always listed at 315lbs in the NBA I think. He got up to at least 350lbs they said then got down to 325lbs.

On paper he was. He was 285 when he entered the league according to his trainer at the Lakers (in the September 1999 issue of Muscular Development magazine). You don't think they pad the weights a bit sometimes? Mate, give your head a shake. He arrived at the Lakers in mid 1996 at 295. You're not exactly one to talk Mr. ''Bret Hart is 5'10'' 235lbs''... lol

Sid was 6'7" in his prime.
Shaq was 300 pounds when he was drafted in the early 90's. Jason, your weight estimates are consistantly WAY off. Everyone seems to be calling you on that.

Jason; its hard to compare du Randt and hogan, both have completely different builds, du Randts arms are really small compared to hogans. IMO hogan is bigger now than say back in 1994 when he made a 300lb+ Shaq o neal look skinny.
if Sid was 6'8 legit then Kevin Nash was 6'11 Click Here 7'6 Jorge Gonzales was also a full head taller than Sid and his head was probably close to 12" long Click Here I agree with Danimal 6'7 for Sid but i wouldn't be shocked if he was actually slightly under that..

''here is hogan today Click Here he looks very close to his old 1980s weight to me, didn't he say he was 280lb just a few weeks back?? looks close to it there.
notice the footwear too, he is basically barefoot in a busy supermarket in miami, everyone else with a 1-1.5" footwear advantage over him. I saw that episode of HKB on tv (where the screenshot is taken) and he towered over everyone in the supermarket, even though he was barefoot''
His arms and upper body is looking closer, but I reckon his thighs and hips area would be much smaller from the effects his injuries/surgeries and age would have on his training. 280lbs? Os Du Randt is 6'3'' 275 & Hogan isn't as big as that beast...

Danimal, In the 80's Hogan looked to have varied anywhere from 290lbs to 305lbs. By the early 90's he still looked at least around 290lbs. In WCW he looked 270-280lbs. Today I'd say he looks 260-265lbs at least still if not 270lbs. What do you think he weighs today?

Dave, it is very possible to someone can lose more than 3 inches in height. I've seen people who have lost more than four inches in height as a result of serious trauma to the legs, back and neck.
Not everyone is the same, but this is not that uncommon for people who have spent 20+ years in a brutal and extremely dangerous sport like wrestling.
Hogan always towered over most people in his prime but it is a fact that he's lost a lot of height over the years as a result of extensive knee injuries (he talks about it in his book), back injuries (a big factor in height). Hogan also has developed poor posture over the years and seldom stands straight, which makes him look shorter than people who used to tower over.

That's impossible he lost 3 inches during these years, and there are lots of photos that proof that theory, at the same time he wasn't 6-7 he weared elevator boots like all wrestler do, he was no more than 6-5 (195.5 cm) in his youth, today he looks around 6-3 to me (191 cm)

Back in 1986, I was on the same flight from Vancouver, BC Canada to Tampa with Hulk. I was 6'1" barefooted then (I'm now 63 years old, and have lost about 1/3 inch in height since then), and Hulk was wearing similar athletic shoes as I, and appeared to be 4 to 5 inches taller than me as I stood right next to him in the Customs line. So, back then he was a true 6'5" or 6'6". I didn't talk to him, but he was very gracious and friendly to anyone who did talk to him, especially kids. He made a good impression on me -- seemed like a nice, easy-going guy.

Hogan was 6'8 in his biggest cowboy boots back in the late 70's. That is why they put him at 6'8 back then, Wrestling was still in the stone ages back then and they had to hype the stars like a circus carney to get fannies into the folding chairs. Which means he was probably a hair under 6'6 barefoot. And he probably topped out at about 312 or something, that is why they thought they could just get away with putting him at 340. That was huge back then. I think he has lost about 2 inches from that today.

Hogan was about 6'5 3/4, 310, at his peak in the late 70's early 80's when he had that big head of hair. he lost about an inch later on when he went crome dome, and dropped to about 6'4 3/4, 295. And then when he got old and had all the surgeries he has dropped another inch to 6'3 3/4, 275 now. All in about a 30 yr span from 77'-07'.

Nova, those Hogan pictures are excellent! They clearly show him to be taller than HBJ (even if you take 1" away for footwear) and he's as nearly as tall as Akeem (who I think was a legit 6'6") and about equal with Earthquake. More evidence that Hogan was over 6'5" barefoot in his prime and has lost significant height. I'll post a recent pictures of Hogan and Ed Leslie (Click Here). I know it's a bad angle that favors Leslie and he's closer to the camera, but please explain how he went from towering Ed Leslie (Click Here) to being about the same height!!!! Footwear won't explain it.

I saw the Hogan/Arsenio interview in Youtube. Yes, Hogan was wearing his cowboy boots but Arsenio was clearly wearing one of those quasi-Air Jordan basketball tennis shoes with huge heels. These were designed this way to give basketball players more height, running and jumping advantage.
Back in the days I remember wearing those kind of basketball shoes and my height would go from 5'10 to 6'0".
So if Arsenio was 5'11" or 6'0", then with those basketball shoes his walking height would've been 6'2" or more. That would make a prime Hogan look 6'8" with cowboy boots.

He also matches up well to this height with Trump , Foreman , Ali , Ventura all people of known heights. Click Here

Hogan doesn't wear cowboy boots as often as he used to. In the most recent episode of HNB, they went to a dude ranch and he was wearing tennis shoes the whole time. Of all times, you'd think he'd be wearing cowboy boots then.

I think that so many people keep coming back to the Ben Davidson pic because what it does is take 6'8,6'7 and even anything over a flat 6'6 off the table for a peak hogan. If a 6'8-6'7 documented guy who is old is defintivly 2+ inches taller than a peek Hogan(and I think that even supporters of a really tall hogan would have to admit that)then you have to jump through some hoops to even get to the flat 6'6. 6'5 1/2 is far more likely. And I saw the show(I'm sorry to admit) and Davidson was no less than 2 1/4 inches taller MINIMUM.

I see Hogan is still up to his old tricks in that third pic that Alex posted of Hogan standing with the bodybuilder. Even next to that rather short man, Hogan plays camera hog in his typical pose edged out nearest to the camera with a double hand shake while flexing. Hey you little Hulksters out there, now you too can look bigger and taller in pictures. Just do what the Hulk does and you'll be lookin large in pictures with your friends. lol

Hogan was 6'5 3/4 an 305 in his prime. with the boots and the garb that means he probably stood 6'7 3/4 and 315, so he then was able to pull off 6'8 and about 330. That's how he measured himself. Of course he was bigger than Ferigno because lou was only 6'4 and about 275 and since he was'nt a wrestler, didn't have boots on. If Ferigno would have went into wresting right there they would have put him at 6'6+ 300+ in a minute. Hogan is about 6'3 1/2 and 275 now. 6'5 285 with the boots and garb.

Looking back at the Jesse Ventura pic, it is more clear to me that a prime Hogan was taller than that I thought.
Jesse Ventura who was always 6'4", and who even said he was 6'5" in the Predator movie, always looked smaller than Hogan, and in that pic (taken sometime in the late 80s), Hogan easily looked in the vicinity of 6'7".

Whats this whole obsession with Hogan's footwear? Andre wore cowboy boots, and occasionally Trump does too. Unless Andre and Trump were barefoot at the time of the pic (and I seriously doubt so), then substract an inch or two from all of them.
And since we all get shorter as we age, Trump might actually be taller than 6'2 back then.
Hulk Hoga in his prime was easily 6'5" to 6'6". With cowboy boots: 6'7"

This is a better angle of Hogan/Trump/Andre. Click Here Hogan is wearing his spandex outfit so he likely has his cowboy boots on. He has Trump (at least 6'2") by around four inches. Subtract roughly one inch for the footwear advantage of the cowboy boots and that puts Hogan at around 6'5" as of 1988.
Before anyone starts whining, this is Hogan and ~ 5'8" Mean Gene from around 1985 in comparable tennis shoes (Click Here) He needs to have Gene by approximately a head size to be 6'6" (like e.g. Earthquake and Giant Haystacks do).

Another thing about that Hogan/Trump/Andre picture is the camera angle. That very low camera angle actually favors Trump. If that picture were taken at a higher level, their height differences would be more significant. And before anyone starts the whole footwear argument, keep in mind Trump would be wearing heeled dress shoes, so even if Hogan and Andre are in boots, they aren't getting much, if any, advantage.

This is stupid. Now rob is claiming Hogan is 6'0'?! Yes Hogan is much shorter than he once was, but he's still over 6'3". Here is a picture of him with the Rock (Click Here). Many feel that the Rock is 6'2"-6'3". Take out the Rock's hair and Hogan is close to an inch taller. Jonathan's pictures show that Hogan (whether he was wearing boots or not) is much taller than the 6'2" Donald Trump. There's no way that's just a footwear advantage. Face it, Hogan has lost 1.5"-2".

Here is another pic with Donald Trump and Andre the Giant. Hogan towers over Trump. Isn't Trump over 6'2- 6'3?? Hogan owns him by about four inches at least.

Hulk definitely between 6'5" and 6'6" in his prime.

People do shrink with age, especially if they've had a rough life of taking falls and knee replacements. Hogan barely ever stands up stright and walks with a limp. David Hasselhoff looks very very tall. People say that he's 6'4" but I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually taller, because I've seen pics of him where he towers over other tall celebrities.

We know that Hogan walks around with a bad posture and with bad knees, and a bad back.
Here is a pic of him vs. Ric Flair. Ric is clearly 6'1" and a prime Hogan towers over him by at least 4 to 5 inches.

Hogan can give a 6'2 impression at times I do agree on but more likely he's 6'3 today but barely though.

The last time the super Bowl was in Tampa, I saw Hulk and he wasn't taller than me with tennis shoes on. 5'11" natural, maybe 6'1" with tennis shoes. Just watch the show and watch him walk through a doorway. Or look at his shoes, sometimes his shoes have extra soles.

hey, the Hasselhoff and Hogan pic is a good one and shows more truth on Hogan's height than many other pics such as some with unknown people. Hasselhoff is widely known to be 6'4" and clearly he has Hogan beaten well,even with Hogan standing closer to the camera. However, I don't think we will be seeing that pic posted at the top of the page ever.

With each famous wrestler, you have to take away about two or three inches from their billed heights. But Hogan in his prime was a very tall man. We can't take this away. Hogan in his prime barefoot was a solid 6.5+. With the boots I can see why he looked 6'7" in the 80s. And Andre with the boots was perhaps close to 7'2 or '3. And the Rock, who looks about 1 and 1/2 inches shorter than the Hulk (look at their staredowns) is perhaps 6'2, and so on...

I stood next to Hogan for about 2 minutes. I was working security at a WWE show in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I swear I was looking slightly down on him. I am 6'5 315lbs. and there is no way he is over 6'3". I had shoes with no heels and he was wearing sneakers.

LV, I guess my point was what hogan is now at 54yr old in 2007. not what he was at 31 in 1984. If he was was 2+ inches shorter than a scant 6'8 guy back then (Davidson is old and practically bending over)that means he was only about 6'5 1/2 max back then. And he says he has lost inches in height himself, so he can't be 6'5 now, the 6'3 he looks now is about right. Which is ugly for a guy who was billed as 6'8 for 25 yrs 1977-2000.

Greg was lying because he wanted Hogan to be a certain height,it's as simple as that. Greg did say Hogan was wearing sneakers and he remembered the day clearly. When asked for proof of his claimed height he made up some excuses then said he was just measured at the doctor's office and would submit that as proof. Guess what? Greg vanished and never came back. So who do you think is lying now?

Greg's height could very well be only 5'11. 5'10 maybe but to be a legit 5'10 and say 6'0.5 isn't going to get away with people for the most part. 5'11 saying 6'0.5 is more likely since he could have just measured 6'0.5 in boots or bigger sneakers.

Hogan first went head to head with flair in 1991. Danimal most people wear heels on their shoes ;) Flair's wrestling boots in WWE in 1991 and WCW 1994 were normal and hogan lost no height by 1992 unless out of thin air :D
Lets have a look at how 6ft Roddy Piper looks next to Hogan in 1986 (about 3" taller than greg looks imo) Click Here and no Piper wasn't 6'2 or 6'3 as he was barely 2" taller than Mr T at WM2.

Hogan had already lost height by 1992, when he had his first showdown with Flair and lost even more height in the WCW/NWO AND Flair was known to wear heels on his shoes/boots. Any way you slice it, Hogan PRE-1990 was not under 6'5" and in reality was closer to 6'6" barefoot.

Hogan was 6'5 3/4 peak and about 310, and 6'4 280 now. A true 6'5 3/4 IS really tall. And back in the late 70's when Hogan started that was huge, it would be like someone comming out now and being about 6'7 1/2, taller than most everybody else. I still think he is the 6'4 280 now. If the average joe had stand next to that big SOB by the pool with no shirt on, alot of the 6'2 250 stuff would end for him real quick.

As is the case with any picture of Hogan from the 80's & 90's you must be able to see the footware involved or the picture is doubious. There's about a 95% chance that Hogan has boots or the Timberland heel wrestling boots on, which skews everything. About 6'5 tops would make the most sense, the top of that locker is probably 6'0 even, which would jive with a 6'2 otis wilson. greg can't be more than 5'10.

Man, he definitely gave the appearance that he was 6'7" back in the day and he wasn't too far off that mark. He was a solid 6'5"-6'6" and up until 1986 he was still over 305-310 pounds. He once has not only a large UPPER torso, but had LARGE legs too. Today, he has shorter and thin legs.

I've come full circle on Hogan, Back in the 80's I watched Hogan and I beleived the sizes he was listed as and I thought he was about the most impressive physical specimen ever, but as time went by in 90's and 2000's I think that I and alot of other people have gotten sidetraked by how big he looks now and think that he never used to be so big. Don't be fooled, I just saw a clip on a youtube site from back in early 1983, AWA days, of Hogan fighting a suprisingly young and healthy looking Andre the giant in japan. Hogan sizes up incredably well with Andre! back then almost nobody could ever even wrestle the giant because he was so big and here is hogan going at it with him and not even looking terribly smaller, This was a great looking giant not the one from several years later that could hardly stand. Even if the giant was only 6'11 and 450 Hogan looks as though he must be 6'7 and about 330. Hogan looks completely different than he does now, he stood so straight and was so athletic looking that he dos'nt even look like the same person now, it's like the same thing that happend with anna nichole smith, she was this playboy goddess and then she looked like fat albert. people change appearence sometimes as they go though life, and anyone who looks at that video will see that a hogan from a quarter century ago was freakin gigantic, just as big as he said 6'7 330
I've come full circle on Hogan, Back in the 80's I watched Hogan and I beleived the sizes he was listed as and I thought he was about the most impressive physical specimen ever, but as time went by in 90's and 2000's I think that I and alot of other people have gotten sidetraked by how big he looks now and think that he never used to be so big. Don't be fooled, I just saw a clip on a youtube site from back in early 1983, AWA days, of Hogan fighting a suprisingly young and healthy looking Andre the giant in japan. Hogan sizes up incredably well with Andre! back then almost nobody could ever even wrestle the giant because he was so big and here is hogan going at it with him and not even looking terribly smaller, This was a great looking giant not the one from several years later that could hardly stand. Even if the giant was only 6'11 and 450 Hogan looks as though he must be 6'7 and about 330.

Danimal, umm well when I was in my teens before 18-19 I was more lean and was just naturally lean but after 12th grade I gained like 25-30lbs of not so good weight and wasn't working out. So I guess I'd be average looking size if I didn't workout at all since my metabalism slowed down or something by nearing 20 but also I was inactive for some months too which was why I gained that sloppy weight.

Alex, are you big because you work out? What I mean is, what would you weigh if you didn't touch weights?

Please read my entire post before making a series of stupid replies. First, I clearly stated that, between his large feet and numerous pictures of him during his peak, he could've easily been 6'5"+. Second, there is a proven correlation between height and foot length. They are so closely correlated, the forensic scientists use their relationship to determine someone's height from shoeprints at crime scenes. Do you think forensic scientists would use that technique if it weren't reliable? Yes, there are short people with big feet and tall people with small feet, but on average that's not the norm. It's all about sample size, if you take 10 people's height and shoe size, you may or may not see a correlation. However, if you took the same data from the entire population of the US, you'd see a strong correlation. Don't call my argument weak, Arjun. At least I have proven statistical methods to back it.

JT, you are a hypocrite and I'll tell you why. You've become worse over the last year. Do you remember the pic of Hilbilly Jim standing next to Earthquake, on Hilbilly's page? Of course you do. You do remember that Hilbilly was slightly taller than Earthquake, right? WELL JT, we also realize that Hogan was always taller than our dear friend Hilbilly, right? Of course!! You CANNOT have it both ways JT.

I remember the scene where Andre spoke to Quake. He towered over Quake. At the time I believed the 6'7 billing for Quake and Andre's billed height too.

A few screencaps of Earthquake. (Click Here) (Click Here). He looks around an inch taller next to Gene than Hogan ever did and was taller than Hogan in their matches. Bossman is pretty closer to 6

Viper, its also fun sometimes to mess around and downplay your height. Like you're 6'3 so you should tell people you're 6'0. A few times I've told people I was 5'9 messing around and they were like get the hell outta here.

Viper, some guys downplay their height. I've seen it before but its rare though, mostly guys are upgrading their height.
He probably was 6'5 and maybe thought he was 6'4 or something.

Vegas, I met a guy recently who I swore on my life was an easy 6-5, but he said he was 6-4. Even his girlfriend said he was 6-5. He even looked more 6-6 to me when I first saw him. Did I just fall into the trap of overestimating a 6-4 guy at 6-5-6-6? He had 2 inches on me at least, I could tell that. He must have been downplaying his height.

Vegas, you certainly don't have short arms, though not NBA-star long either :) I'm 3 inches shorter than you, wingspan about 2 inches less than yours. I would say my arms are longer than average , but not THAT long for my height - one of my friends is also just 5'8" but has a 6'3" wingspan. He has broader shoulders and bigger hands than me though - our arm + forearm bones are practically the same in length.
Guys like Shaq must be getting a good 2-4 inches in wingspan over others with the extra hand length alone.

I agree Jason I don't think Hogan was ever over 6'5 but I don't think he was as low as 6'4 peak either. He was somewhere in between 6'4.5 and 6'5 and has dropped maybe one inch in the meantime, 1.5" max (and 1.5" is a hell of an amount to lose for such a young man; don't forget Hogan was just 48 years old when he went face to face with the Rock in January 2002)

''I'm a size 14 and I'm a medium frame based on my wrists. Even though I'm big, I may still not be a big framed.''
You're on the large side-framed. You can still have a big frame but with smaller wrists, or ankles, narrower shoulders, etc.

''of course jason if hogan was only 6'4 peak that makes Tiny Lister no more than 6'4 either here due to his slight footwear advantage Click Here I believe Hogan was close to 6'5 at peak.''
By 6'4'', I mean about that. He's never looked 6'6'' or 6'7'' or any of that shiznit to me.

Hogan's very big-framed, so it's kind of expected he's gonna have big feet for his height. I'm a size 16 and I'm not quite 6'4''. I remember 6'1'' Rikishi saying he's a size 15. Hogan's only ever physically looked 6'4'' to me.

LV, that shoe size argument is one of the weakest ones I've ever heard. Shoe size is in no way an **accurate** indicator of someone's height. It can, and often is, wrong by several inches. Some fool once said that Shaq had to be " atleast 7'1" " just because he wears a size 22 shoe. Yeah right, maybe Yao Ming is'nt 7'5" just because he has a size 18? Is Yao only 6'11" then????

LV; my 6'4 friend wears a US size 15 sneaker.
I was watching an episode of HKB today and hulk, nick and brooke were all barefoot and hulk had an easy 6"+ on his kids, the kids were well under his eyeline.
Arjun; my wingspan is 6'2.7", it doesn't look like i'm gonna become an nba star anytime soon :(

On today's episode of HKB, they were shoe shopping and Hogan wears a size 15 sneaker. I know legit 6'6" to 6'8" guys that don't take sneakers that big. Personally I have big feet for my height and wear a 12 or 13 and I'm only 6'0". I realize that shoe size isn't always an indicator of height, but normally it is. A 6'5"+ barefoot peak height is still very likely for Hogan based on that and the numerous pictures we've seen. Many of hear want to downgrade his peak height because he can look 6'2" nowadays in some instances (mainly on his show when he's barefoot or in flip flops while standing next to his daughter while wearing heels). Height loss, especially with athletes, is just a fact of life and the sooner everyone realizes that, the better off this site will be.

6'10" wingspan at 6'3", that's quite long! In my case though, a lot of my wingspan comes just from my arms and forearms, because I have small hands (only a little over 7 inches from wrist to middle finger tip) and narrow shoulders. And my legs are'nt proportionally long either, about average for my height I would say. What's your wingspan, Vegas?
