I'm not that interested in weight estimates, only with big guys such as Big Show and people who are around my weight range interest me.
Guessing weights is not as easy as guessing heights. You can't really guess weights based on a couple of pictures as Alex proved with the pics of his friends.
I don't make a guess in the dark when weight is concerned, I normally compare them with people who's weight I do know. But apparently you could still be way off.
Alex I doubt that your ability to guess weights has got anything to do with working out. I hit the gym 5 times a week (during my peak I even went twice a day), but still I could be way of with guessing height.
There's one guy at my gym who's 6'1.5, has got like 17" arms and a chest of 43 inches. I'd guessed him at around 225 lbs, yet he claims he never weighed more than 205 lbs (with a bodyfat percentage of 8%). Seeing as he used to be in the marines he probably must've knew his weight accurately. I doesn't struck me as the type who would deliberately underestimate his weight.

Danimal, same here. I'm interested in both. And you probably noticed, that the people who estimate weight the best are the ones into working out/lifting weights the most. There are some on this site who I think aren't bad at estimating height but with weight some of their estimates are way off.

Alex, I'm equally interested in both height and in weight.

I just got done looking at some youtube videos, and sure enough Jones got billed at 7ft and 350 by the anouncers.
THis is why I tend to think he is 6'10". Also the fact that Milo Magazine 1995 listed him at 6'10" and they were a reliable strongman magazine.

Rob, are you a pretty good weight estimater or one of those guys who sticks to just guessing heights? Myself am actually good at estimating weights.

And by the way one of my heavy friends I posted down below that we were discussing his weight. He weighs 325lbs and I saw it myself on the doctor's scale 2 weeks ago so the 340-345lbs I mentioned back then isn't accurate because the scale was apparently off that day. I figured because he didn't look 340lbs plus. So that throws 300lbs or less out the window for those underestimaters with weight! haha

Yeah, Terkay has 3.5 or 3 inches on DDP. I've always thought DDP was 6'2 1/2'' and seeing him with 197cm/6'5 1/2'' Terkay more or less confirms he is in that range. Notice the size of Terkay's melon, though -- it's bloody enormous!!! He looks like he's got some Islander in him.

Glad to see you agree with me about Nathan Jones, Bleemo. Predator is quite likely 6'5''. Jones looked 6'7''-6'8'' to me in person but he could be 6'8 1/2'' as you say. He was an extremely tall guy, but not 6'10''.

Big Show, I remember Show having 2 inches on Jones. And 3 on Morgan I think and Also Jones was a bit taller than Morgan too.

Bleemo, your argument is not correct. I agree that Undertaker and Kane's heights are exaggerated but Morgans and Jones heights were not exaggerated because it would make the more established wrestlers (Undertaker and Kane) who are the companys know big men look inferior if there were younger unproven wrestlers coming in an being billed as bigger than them.
Alot of the heights are linked with power and standing within the company, the more you are going to be pushed and the more faith Vince has in you the more impressive he will bill you as being size wise.
So its not always as simple as saying if Kane isnt his billed height then Nathan Jones can't be his because thats not how it works.

Bleemo, first of all Nathan Jones has been listed 6'10 almost everywhere (Strongman competition, AWA, WWE, etc. He's also stated numerous times himself that he's 6'10, there are listings of 6'11 to even 6'11.5).
In the first pic of Jones and Sylvester, Jones is standing further behind, we don't see any footwear or the ground level.
The second pic is shot from a low camera angle and that always downgrades the taller guy. Plus they're all leaning a bit to their right. And again, we don't see any footwear of ground level.
Jones looked 3 inches taller than 'billed' 6'7 Magnus Samuelson, who looked 2 inches taller than a legit 6'5 TV-host (who hosted a strongman competition for the Dutch TV once) and he was also taller than fellow strongman Wout Zijlstra (who's around 6'6 himself).
The Big Show was clearly taller than Jones and not by just an inch. During that episode of Smackdown where Team Lesnar first showed up the 5 of them posed in the ring together after they've beat up Team Cena. Big Show was 2 inches taller than both Jones and Morgan and he wasn't even standing completely straight (there's a picture of this posedown somewhere on the net).

I've seen a times where Big Show only had an inch on Jones, but also Show's posture you gotta take into account as well where he may really have 2 inches on Jones but no more than that. Jones was 2-3 inches taller than UT at least.

Its tough to say for Jones's height he looks about 6'10", in the video I posted Show had a good 2 inches on him, but the only real way to compare would be to put them both back to back barefoot.

Yea, pretty much 400lbs as he weighed 416lbs to be exact on the scale at the recyling center because he was too heavy for a digital scale and at the gym the one maxed out at 400lbs and the balance beam hit to top and didn't move, funny how he went to get weighed at a girl's gym, Curves. Also take into account the guy is 6'5-6'6 as well.

I don't think it was quite that much Alex. From what I remember it looked maybe 3-4cm. This was around 2002 or 2003. I had Jones down as 6'9 1/2 which is 207cm..

Jason, what do you think about Big Black from Rob and Big? Do you think he's a legit 6'6 that he says. I think so, at least 6'5 as he just TOWERS over Rob by around foot and Rob looks to be 5'6 or so. Did you think Big was really like 350lbs before he weighed in at 415lbs? lol

Interesting fact out of my 4 best friends the average weight is between 280-290lbs with an average height of 6'1. I doubt most don't have an average of that unless their closest friends are wrestlers or football players. That stat really isn't a good one either as 2 of my friends are very overweight/obese and another is overweight while one is fit.

That is because here we teach kids that "you are ok exactly as you are, with clogged arteries and blood pressure and cholesterol so high you could fall down and die anytime, thus being MORBIDLY obese, yet it WHAT IS ON THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS."
Fat people are not lazy, they work very hard, much harder than the average person. For example, when was the last time a skinny guy was out of breath walking up steps?

I don't see many people as fat as your friends let alone Rikishi and Rosey, and I'm in the inner city a lot. The average person here is pretty much as fat as in the US but for some reason ridiculously fat people are more common there. I wonder why that is?

Jason, you're from Australia so I have a question. Since the US is the most heavier country, where you are from do you see many fat guys like my 2 friends or guys like Rikishi, Rosey much at all over where you are from? I see almost everyday a 300 plus pound guy and every weekend I see my friends who are even heavier.

Today for the first time in a while both my heavy friends, the 2 kids I posted below were at my house together. When around them I feel lite and should around 2 guys over 300lbs and by the way the shorter one told me today that he weighs 320lbs as he seems to flucuate if he's on a diet or not.

Would I have to get a picture of my friend on the scale with a picture of the weight he weighs in on? LOL
Another friend of mine saw a picture of him and guessed him at 345-350lbs and he's in the right range. Its the fact you guys haven't seen him in person is why you're underestimating his weight by that much other than Danimal and TNTinca.

I can't see how you guys see 280lbs. Look at his girth, his stomach, chest, his face, too fat to be just 280lbs. I've know this kid since he was 6 years old and he hasn't been 280lbs since 2001-2002 and he's 18 now. Danimal is right about his weight.

If I look at those new pics you've posted of your big friend, he does look bigger as he did in the first pic. But I would never have estimated him to be 330 lbs, more like 300 lbs tops. I remember Meat Loaf weighing 325 lbs when Bat out of Hell was released and he looked a lot heavier back then as your friend.
I never take a wild guess on anyone's height. Mostly I compare them to people, who's weight I do know. It's the same as how I estimate someone's height.

Jason, yea I'm 200lbs. Normally 195lbs or a bit under especially in the summer but when it gets to the winter I normally put a little more weight. I'd actually like to get to 225lbs if I could but mostly the right way and I did peak at 215lbs in early 2005. I normally get overestimated 10-15lbs more than I weigh though.

Jason, I beleive if you saw my friend in person you'd believe he was heavier and as for Rikishi the guy looks to be around 400lbs to me though.
As for the scale messing up, at the doctor's I wasn't there but a doctor weighed him in so I'm sure he was on the scale when he got weighed. But at my house 2 summers ago he wieghed 326lbs then the following summer 330lbs and now my scale only goes up to 330 and after that he got on it another time and it said error so you know he's more than the weight on the scale. Like I said I'll get him on a scale very soon again and see for myself what he is today, plus those pics you saw of him were from July-now and he hasn't gotten any smaller.

I dunno, Alex. I can't see your friend being anywhere near Rikishi in weight and he really was only 350 tops. I don't think you're making it up at all or anything like that, just think something is wrong here, i.e he's set the scale forward before he hopped on without you knowing or was too heavy for the scale or something. Digital scales screw up when you're too heavy for one. You do look 200lbs, though. :)

Danimal, you're very correct with the weight but hey thats my friend now. Don't go calling him a tub of lard now. And I am actually going to get him on a scale soon to see for myself again since I haven't seen him weighed since last summer which was 330lbs plus. He's minimum 330lbs and likely around 340lbs.
I know most of you guy guess wrestler weights in a big weight range and have different estimates but with wrestlers I can only guess to as I don't know for sure but with my friends I have seen them get on scales so I know facts about them.

Ok guys I think you guys are underestimating so much on his weight because maybe you haven't seen him in person. If I didn't know him and just saw the picture I would still guess he's at least 320lbs. 280lbs would be smaller than that for a 6'0 guy like him.

Viper, more than some people overestimate by weight by at least 5-10lbs and thats because I have muscle so it makes me look a little heavier at least. Never measured his wrists though and he's way heavier than 280lbs. The scale was legit, plus it was accurate for me too. You guys are underestimating by at least 50-60lbs. LOL

I once knew a guy who stood no less than 6 foot 9 probably actually 6,10 he must of weighed over 400 pounds wish i knew how much he did weigh. I mean he wasnt like really fat but was just a big guy not muscle bound just a big guy if you know what i mean. Height makes a tremendous diffrence to youre wieght so im gathering this guy weighed alot. Deffently the biggest guy ive seen in real life least in the height and weight ratio.

Viper, stick to guessing height. That man is a tub of lard and easily over 300 pounds. Quite a bit over. I would guess between 325-340 pounds for sure.

I agree with Jason. That kid looks 280. Still fat but looks nowhere near 330. He must have the largest, heaviest bones of all time. How big are his wrists, 10 inches? lol.

Jason, I seen him get on my digital scale at my house and weighed 335lbs last summer.
Cantstop, exactly Henry would have to be at least 375lbs in my opinion then but also Henry has much more muscle than me friend so he'd look more heavier than him than he already is.

I know. He looks over 280, but not 330. I am thinking he flicked the dial up on the scale before he jumped on or something lol. Either that or his bones are so heavy he'd make a bloody good anchor...!

Jason, you were bang on guessing my tall friend's weight when he was that weight 2 years ago in that picture I posted not too long ago, but with these 2 fat friends you are off by a lot. In particular the 6'0 one where you're off by 60lbs or more. Danimal was pretty accurate with him though. Weight can be tough to guess especially if they're that heavy.

The New Balance ones I have on there don't give me 1.5 inches like my other pair do. These make him 1-1.25 inches taller. Same for my friend too. He was actually measured 5'11.5 at the doctor's 2 years ago but I measured him last year and got 6'0 flat barefoot. He did just turn 18 over the summer so. He actually stopped growing at a very slow pace because when he was 12 he was 5'4-5'5 honestly and now 18 at 6'0.

Danimal, yea def around that weight. He's minimum 335lbs since I saw him weigh 335lbs myself but I question the 350lbs he said he weighed in at the doctor's because I didn't see it myself but I could believe it even though 350lbs seems a little too much though. He does like food, loves his chips and soda and I wanna get him to join a gym and lose some of that weight at least. If Jason saw him in person I know he'd think he's heavier since pictures don't always give you that impression.

TNTinca, he is 6'0 even, he's 1/2 inch shorter than me and I measured him. Yea, I caught him with the bag of chips, lol. He's easily well over 300lbs. 350lbs he weighed in at the doctor's this summer he told me.
Jason, if you saw him in person you'd think he was heavier. Pictures sometimes don't give the impression that they are bigger in person. I am actually going to get this kid on a scale again to see what he weighs today. Last year I saw him weigh 330 something for a fact. Doctor had him at 350lbs but I didn't see it myself though.

Actually, I still don't think he looks near 330 lol. Weird. I may think he was heavier if I saw him in person. I met a couple of BIG guys in 2004 -- one was 6'2'' 303lbs and the other just under 6'1'' and 322, and they looked bigger than your friend. The 6'2'' bloke was an Islander and had BIG bones and more beef than normal as well, though. The other was just fat. You look very fit yourself!

If he is 6 foot, I would say he is easily over 300 lbs based on the roundness of his body. (The bag of chips was a nice touch in that one photo)

Jason, honestly 2 summers ago I guessed him at 280-285lbs and he told me he went to the doctor and he weighed in at 326lbs with cloths so one day he got on my scale with just jogging pants and a t shirt and weighed in at 320lbs and 2 years later he has gotten a little heavier at least. Shows pictures can be decieving. And if he's really 350lbs where the doctor weighed him in as then you underestimated him by 70lbs, LOL. In a way I have a feeling the scale was off but he's in the 330's for a fact at least since I have seen it with my own eyes.

BTW, I have a wrestling magazine interview with Rikishi (from 2002) where he says he's currently 360lbs and trying to lose weight for his comeback (from some injury, I forget). Could one of your friends you actually saw weigh in have moved the dial up from 0 before hand? lol

Jason that picture of him can make him look leaner because of the darker cloths but in ligther cloths he looks a little more heavier at least.

You're right, BMI is a stupid thing. I don't go by it. If you go by something, go by body fat percentage. My BMI is in the overweight range but I have muscle so.

BMI is a useless statistic by the way. It does not factor in muscle mass and density and assumes that to be static.
Just as a demonstration, they took several actor's current height and weight and derived their respective BMIs. The statistic showed that actors like Vin Diesel, Christian Bale, Sylvestor Stallone, etc. were all overweight. Now clearly that is not the case. Their muscle adds to their weights and skews the BMI.
I really wish they would abolish that statistic since I think it gives many people the impression they are overweight when in fact, they are just more muscular.

Viper, you can see he's fat in the picture but he doesn't look obese but his BMI and weight for his height has him at obese. If he wears cloths that are more lighter he looks a little more fatter. Like Big Show said his cloths make him look a little leaner.
And the 5'7 kid tells me he is 5'9.5-5'10 though which is silly.

They are both pretty chunky in my mind. Problem is, this country has gotten so fat, we forgot what it means to be normal or average weight.
I am amazed sometimes when I see the ever increasing levels of obesity in this country. Especially among young children. Being obese at a young age makes it so much harder to be leaner and trim in adulthood.

Rikishi I think is nothing under 400lbs. Maybe closer to 425lbs at a point. Mark Henry 350lbs at least, maybe 375lbs or so. But its just weird how my 6'0 friend in the 1st pic is about in the same weight range as Henry. It proves that Rikishi is around 400lbs like I said too because there is no way my 6'0 friend and Rikishi are the same weight.

Rikishi was indeed around that 400 lbs area, but Mark Henry was a couple of years ago 350 lbs. When Brock Lesnar F5'd him, Michael Cole said: "That's a 350 lbs man!". I doubt he would say that if Mark Henry was heavier in real life. I don't know what he ways nowadays, but he doesn't look that much heavier. Maybe 375 lbs, but Mark Henry is not all fat though. I mean look at his gut, it's not that big. He has a huge upper-torso and huge arms and legs.

Big Show, true that the picture does make him look less than he really is. In person he looks bigger though since pictures can be deceiving. That kid is without a doubt in the 330-350lb range. The other kid you can clearly see his weight that he's 320-330lbs. Both need to go on diets though. The shorter kid has but he goes off and on and his weights goes up and down.

Like I said Alex, that first pic was really bad to estimate someone's weight. Not only does he wear dark clothes, he also positioned himself in the pic in a way that you can't see if he has a huge gut or not. Looking at this pic I would never imagined him to be in the same weight area as Mark Henry.
If both are the weights you claim they are, they should go on a immediate diet. That 5'10, 330 lbs friend of mine had some serious health problems and wouldn't live past his 30's had he not go on a diet. He was even to fat to undergo surgery to decrease the stomach.

Cantstop, the first guy doesn't lift weights at all and really isn't strong for his weight. He has fair strength and he is def over 300lbs. He weighed in on my scale at 330 something last summer and was probably closer to 325lbs legit because of heavy cloths, sneakers. The fact that he's 6'0 he may not appear that heavy and he said this summer that he weighed in at over 350lbs on the doctor's scale but didn't get an accurate measurement since the max weight is 350lbs. I didn't see it myself and he said the scale was probably broken as an excuse but I am sure he's not under 330lbs though as the scale could have been off. The 2nd kid is def 320-330lbs at 5'7 as he even told me. They are some big boys. You guys are underestimating.

The kid 6'0 is 340-350lbs while the 5'7 kid is 320-330lbs depending on his diet. Well the 6'0 kid went to the doctor this summer and he said he got on the scale and it was put on 350lbs and he was still too heavy for itand he said the scale was probably broken but that could have been an excuse I bet. He's not under 340lbs then. One I knew from grammar school who was a year ahead of me and the other I knew from when he was 6 since he is a couple years younger than me.
Jason, I really don't have anymore except for 2 others but my scanner isn't working now though. Pictures can be deceiving because they are around the weight I said.

Would need some more pics to make a good guess. Neither looks the weights you said, but pictures can be deceiving. Where'd you meet these two? Old school friends I guess?

Hey I was in the Netherlands in 01 and in the house I stayed, there was a 13-year old kid who was easily 6'3 or 6'4 asnd was already auditioning for the Holland national basketball teamk, plus he had an 18 year old sister who looked a lot like Maria Sharapova in both looks and height, I always felt like a dwarf in there I just wanted to get out of there!

Big Show, true his dark cloths can not make him look as fat or heavy but you can clearly see he's pretty fat there. Take a guess at his weight though. Just curious to see what you guys would guess. Also he's a lot taller than the 2nd kid so those 5 inches will help him out a little while the other kid is much shorter which will make him look fatter.

The first pic is a crap pic to guess someones weight, because he's wearing dark clothes. You can't really see if the kid's fat or that he just has a small overweight. Judging from his face and neck, I'm assuming he's not that fat. He looks pretty healthy, not morbidly or severely obese at all. But like I said, the dark clothes can cover up a lot.
The second kid looks to have a real weight problem. He kind of has the same build as a fat friend of mine use to have. He was 5'10 and weighed 330 lbs (he was getting serious health problems, so he went on a very strict diet and is now somewhere around 250 lbs). I'm guessing this kid could be anything between 275 lbs and 310 lbs.

Dutch people are the tallest people in the world (if you don't count the Tutsi's). An average male is around 6 feet tall around here. I'm 6'0.5 and when I walk through the city I sometimes feel like a dwarf. Most people that are shorter than me are old folks, but young people are mostly around my height or taller. 6'7 is definately not a uncommon height here in Holland. When I was working in a supermarket I saw people of this height almost on a daily basis (I could compare them next to a 6'5 colleague of mine). The tallest person that ever came into our store was probably around 7 feet tall. He was a fool head taller than me and he always slouched big time, so I'm guessing he would be even bigger if he stood straight up.
Even women that are taller than 6 foot is very common here. I regularly see women who are around 6'3 or something.

Jason, I've never seen anyone in my life over 6'10 before in person. Only a couple guys in my whole life have I seen who were 6'9-6'10. Like 3, maybe 4. A few more 6'7-6'8 but thats still very rare. Guys 6'5-6'6 here and there but not near often though. Most guys I see on a daily basis are anywhere from 5'9-6'1.

Jason, also about weight if you get guessed at more than you are it shows that you have good muscle. When I was 195lbs I was guessed at 210-215lbs then when I was 210-215lbs I was guessed at 220-230lbs. At 185lbs I was guessed at 200lbs or so. As you can see my weight did flucuate though. Now I have good size, big but not huge like some wrestlers or even body builders. At 6'0.5 195lbs and arms 14.5 unflexed to arms 15.5-15.75 flexed is good I'd say.

Jason, yea I know what you mean. If you're leaner you'll pack muscle weight/mass in better places.
I actually seen him get on my scale 2 years ago where he weighed 325lbs in cloths so he was really around 320lbs but he has gained since then to 330lbs last summer and this summer he told me he went to the doctor, got on the scale and it was put on 350lbs the max it can go and he was still too heavy for the scale. he claimed the scale was off and he wasn't that much. I don't know though, probably just an excuse, lol. The other of my fat friends I seen him on the scale too and it was legit too.

I don't see very many guys taller than me. 6'7''-6'8''? Rare as hell. Usually when I go to the city the tallest guys I see are 6'3 1/2''-6'4 1/2''. Of course Perth, Australia is much smaller than NYC, though!

Have you seen your friends actually weigh in on a scale you know is properly calibrated, Alex? Lots of guys lie about their weight as well as height. I guess to sound tough or something, even some fat guys.
Muscle is more dense than fat, but you look bigger the leaner you are. The leaner you are the less size you have in your midsection and gut and the more size you have in places like your arms, chest, back and legs, etc.

Ohh, one more thing, Jason is correct that weights are often even more esaggerated than height.
It is true that muscle weighs more than fat, but it still does take up space.
A lean guy can "look" 300 pounds, and only be 275, so a legit 300 is very big, expecially if it is lean, and I mean 8% fat or less, even over 6'6".

Well, as far as when Jones first showed up on WWE TV, anounced at 305, or 295, or whatever, by 2003 Survivor Series, when he came back from ovw, he looked a lot heavier.

Undertaker was (and still is) one big mofo, but Magnus does make him look like a relative toothpick. Twice as much beef and Taker doesn't have a bone frame like Magnus. If they're right about the same height, you'd be looking at 30-40lbs between them. 300lbs is beyond ginormous. I met a gigantic Maori a couple of years ago who was 6'2'' 303lbs and not all that fat and he was so big people were turning around and staring at him even on the other side of a main city road. WWE lies about weight, fans believe it then go thinking that X weight isn't near as big as it really is.

Here's Jones' Smackdown debut. Michael Cole clearly states him as being 305 lbs.
Danimal, Undertaker or Kane never weighed 330 lbs. Compare them to Samuelson, who at his peak was 330 lbs. He would make Undertaker look like a toothpic. I think Kane's peak weight is more around 320 lbs and Undertaker's around 300 lbs.

There was a time Taker was a legite 330 pounds and Kane 340. In reality, for guys over 6'6" (which is 8-9" above average height), you usually add 10 pounds per inch, so in reality, these guys aren't THAT heavy.

Bleemo, there are exceptions, but they listed Mark Henry for what he really was. Samuelson like all other strong men LOSE height. My God, do you know how much they are lifting overhead. The famous Ronnie Coleman who was dethroaned this year is getting shorter and shorter and is barely taller than Jay Cutler. As for Magnus Samuelson, he was originally listed at 6'7" and yes, Jones had at least 3" on him. I have the World's strong Man competition of 1995 on VHS tape and there are behind the scenes of them shopping in the local market and Magnus looks short at times next to Nathan and BACK then, Magnus was NOT under 6'6". He MAY be 6'5" TODAY, but I doubt it. Jones was at least 6'9".

Here's a vid of the armwrestling match between Jones and Samuelson (aka Megaman. Looks 3 inches to me. Samuelson is a legit 6'7 in my book. He looked about an inch taller than Wout Zijlstra who's a legit 6'6 and about 2 inches taller than the 6'5 Dutch TV-Host Ron Brandsteder.
That Juoko Ahola claimed Samuelson was 6'5 is a load of crap to me. Ahola claims to be 6'1 himself, so if Samuelson is 6'5 that means Ahola is lying about his height, 'cause there was definately a lot more height difference between these two than just 4 inches. Ahola barely came up to Samuelson's mouth if I remember correctly. The difference was definately 6 inches if not more. Based on Samuelson's height I'd say Jones is 6'10.

Heidenreich looks about 6'5 to me unless he was wearing lifts. I do remember he was a bit taller than 6'4 Snitsky. Big Show was 1-2 inches taller than Jones I believe. I gotta look at a tape of them together again. Probably more an inch taller than Jones though who I think is 6'9 minimum.

I know very well who John Heidenreich is, he didn't look more than 6'2'' and change. This was at a house show so maybe he wears lifts. WWE billed him as 6'5''. Speaking of Jones and Big Show, I have the 2003 Survivor Series on DVD and Big Show is only a smidge taller than Jones - they were on the same team. Jones looked about one and a half inches taller than Taker to me.

If Heidenreich is 6'2 .5" that would have a massive knock on effect to every wrestlers height. Cena would be about 5'8" Undertaker 6'4" Big Show 6'7" etc etc. Do you know who Heidenrich is or are you confusing him with another wrestler he is a tall guy at least 6'5".

I really do think he could be this short though Danimal, it all comes down to the Big show for me. There is no way the WWE would bill one of their biggest guys as his actual height, not Vince not ever. He did used to be billed at 7'2 though so I still think Show is 6'10 or a little less. So that would put Jones somewhere between 6'8-6'85, there's no way this guy is 3 inches taller then taker that is crap I can remember them in the ring together.

Jiga, there is no way Jones had 3 inches on Taker. He had a good 3 inches on A Train though who was 6'6+. Taker was taller than A Train also.

So fine Jason, he's MINIMUM 6'8", but I really don't think he's that short. We can't ALWAYS go with the LOWEST denominator though Jason, especially because one Juoko Ahola SAID SO. It doesn't work that way.

John Heidenreich only looked 6'2 1/2'' to me in person.
Danimal, I remember Sing said there was like 3'' between Nathan and Magnus. Juoko Ahola said Magnus is 195cm an interview - that's barely 6'5''.

If he's really 6'10'' he would have been at least 320lbs. WWA billed him as 7'0'' 350lbs the night I saw him in person.

Jason, Nathan had at least 4" on Magnus Samuelson and he's been listed as 6'6" and 6'7". Lets say he's MINIMUM 6'5" and now I'm low balling. Nathan Jones is still 6'9" at a minimum. As for his weight. Well, Samuelson climbed up from 270 pounds his first WSM in 1995 to 330 pounds today, which isn't THAT much, considering all Strong Men were over 300 pounds starting in 1977.

Absolutely not, in that photo he looks at least 5 inches taller.

WWE said he was 6'10'', you can't trust them. They also billed him as 340lbs when Nathan Jones himself (in a 2003 interview when he was debuting in WWE) said he's 295 - Click Here
I saw him in person at a World Wrestling All-Stars show in 2001 and he looked 6'7''-6'8'' in the ring. Didn't get to stand close to him on level ground for a good estimate, though.

Anyone see him on the movie Troy? He absolutely dwarfed everybody. Some of that could be camera work. But honestly, the man appears to be huge to me.

This guy looks a solid 6'10 to me. I agree with this listing. He was def taller than UT and he was pretty close to Big Show's height too.

Clearly wearing extra thick heeled boots in this photo with 5'11-6' Scott Steiner. He has is legs massively apart so I won't bother using this pis to gauge his height it was mostly to show off his dodgy boots....

Anshelm, that Australian guy who did not make it too the final WAS Nathan Jones.
He broke his arm arm wrestling Magnus Ver Samuelson at an earlier heat. At the time Magnus was the European champion, and Jones, had virtually no experience, and easily fooled for the arm breaker position.
Arm breaker is girpping your opponent far out on the hand, "goose necking" your wrist, and dropping your weight low. now your opponent is reaching across the table, his wrist is extended, not curled in, and if he pulls with his opposite arm hard enough, he will fracture his humerus. Thats exactly what Nathan did, and that is why he was out of the finals in 1995. But he did win the Highland games world strength championship earlier that year, and he was Austria's Powerlifting champion, and strongman champion at the time.

I had him down as 6'9 1/2. Could be 6'10 but no more.

Agreed Dave he really was only about an inch taller then taker and this was fairly recently so taker wasn't even in his prime. Even if Taker was say 6'7.5 then that would place Jones at 6'8.5.

He seems to have participated in the 1995 World's Strongest Man competition. Now, I saw that on TV, and there were no Australians in the final (and the tallest guy was 205 cm/6'8¾" Marko Varalahti of Finland) – but they did show some contestants that just didn't make it to the final, and there was this Australian, whose name I didn't catch then, that they said was 210 cm/6'10½" tall...
BTW, according to his website he weighs "330 lbs (132 kilos)" – not very good at math, I guess (330 lbs=150 kg, 132 kg=291 lbs):

He is barely taller than the undertaker so that wouldn't pit him level with Kevin Nash.
I think he is lucky to be over 6'8.5

Just a massive guy & 6'10" seems spot on to me. I still can't believe he was picked to play the Juggernaut in the X-Men 3 film. He would have been perfect for it. Instead, they picked 6'2" Vinnie Jones, who hardly had any lines in the film and even had his native Australian accent. He even needed a muscle suit and lifts for the role. They could have saved a lot of time and money by just getting Nathan.

Agree with this; roughly 0.5-1" taller than matt morgan, 2" taller than taker and slightly shorter than big show. He has been listed at 6'10 everywhere since the first time i saw him in person in 2001
