Mark, my friend who is about an inch taller than me, and similar build, has a cousin who was your size when he was 11. One time he asked to be tossed for distance into the pool and the game was on. His 6'10" brother won with the best distance.

Max-
I learned to play the game. But really I know the big guys mean no harm. Sometimes it's actually fun on my part. Gets the blood going from the element of surprise. I had to laugh when you said on your 6'10 friend "If you let him". Do you think I'd have a choice. Sometimes with these football players I'd have to beg to be put down.
Max said on 17/Dec/07
Mark, I don't just randomly fling people, I have to know them pretty good, be in the mood, and they have to be game. My friend's younger brother who is 6'10" would probably want to toss you for distance, if you let him, he watches too much wrestling and likes to try the things they say not to try at home.

Max-
I have friends your size, and that's what they like to do. So I guess if we ever were to meet and take a photo, up I'd go. Right?
Max said on 17/Dec/07
Mark, I am. I have alot of fun with it.
mark said on 16/Dec/07
TO Max-
I know. I never ask, but I guess because of my size being rather small it comes with the territory. I used to teach high school and the football players would grab me and carry me in the halls. Be glad you're big.
Max said on 16/Dec/07
Lifting people is a funny thing, some don't want it because it accentuates there small stature and others love it and ask for it freely. I am approximately the same height and weight as Ralph and have on occasion,when asked, lifted a person with each arm for photos.
mark said on 16/Dec/07
Ralf is huge. I met him, and I'm 5'9 and 160 lbs, and when I asked for a photo he was gracious, but just grabbed me and threw me over his shoulders before the camera clicked. And said "Little guy you ain't going anywhere". And he even pulled my shoe off. He quite a jokester.

a guy once tried to lift me up in a photoshoot...he never succeeded though, I refuse any such public advances.

Ralf was listed between 6'6" and 6'8" in his bodybuilding days. I have a 1982 Muscle and Fitness magazine where they stated his competition weight at that time was a lean 280 pounds at 6'6" and then from a few years later, they had him at 6'8" and over 300 pounds. He did get larger, but I'm thinking he was 6'6" at his tallest and Dolph was between 6'4" and 6'5".

I meet Ralph at the Oktoberfest in Munich a couple years ago. He is the same height a I am so I think your post is right on the mark. Very friendly guy, I'm around 300 pounds and a weightlifter as well. He had many kind words of encouragement for my workout routine and even gave me a few efective pointers.

i think hes 196 cm
thats what hes said himself in german as well as far as i remember
anyway, hes one big mother ****er :)
PS to the other guys: Lundgren is not taller, Lundgren is about 194
Smok said on 16/Jul/07
Ralph is definitely a tall and generally big guy, but I don't know if he's 197 cm these days, looks more like 195 cm. On his own site you can see his pictures with Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Eastwood (who's now well below 190 cm):

He doesn't look 197 cm to me there, more like 195 cm.

I bet this guy's cm to feet conversion is skewed like so many, in 1997 Boston herald said "I'm 6'6 , 275 pounds"
Supermanfan380 said on 2/Jan/07
I remember a Muslce fitness article in 1997 said he was 6'8". I think he is more like 6'6", maybe 6'5.5" now, he is almost as old as Arnold.
I think all IFBB stats are about 2" exaggerated. For some reason guys gain 2" and 30 pounds after they win their pro card.
If ralf was 6'8" he would have had to weigh 320 pounds. As it was he was around 6'6" and 280-290 on stage.
He is tallet than Lou Ferrigno, that is for sure.

Can't get a better source than the man himself (when it's not claiming to be a listed or above listed height!)...
Most boxing listed heights are inflated a little. Vitali's really about 199cm, Wlad 196cm. Ralph looks the exact same height as Wlad and a few cm shorter than Vitali.
Gladiator said on 24/Apr/06
On German TV Ralph Moeller said : I'm 196cm an 124 kg
Editor Rob
yes, the question was if he rounding down...maybe he's actually telling the truth!
Anshelm said on 15/Feb/06
You know, according to the official website of the Klitschko brothers...
...Vitali's 200 cm:
http://www.klitschko.com/en/portret_v.php
...and Wladimir's 198 cm:
http://www.klitschko.com/en/portret_v.php
Though the conversions on the site are seriously messed up, but with Ukrainian guys I'd go for the metric stats.

Nice pics Cobra, Ralph does look a mountain of a man in front of the Klitschko brothers even though he is a tad shorter than them. Sheesh, I would never want to be in the company of those 3..lol..
Cobra said on 5/Jan/06
Here is Ralf, Training with the Klitschko brothers (Vitali 202, Wladimir 200).

german said on 6/Nov/05
He is definitely 6'4"1/2 (195cm)! He said that in a german TV-Show 4 months ago.
Jason said on 14/Oct/05
I would say Ralph is only 196cm (6'5'') like his official site said.
MA said on 22/Sep/05
Dolph Lundgren is 1 1.98m.I think that is Ralph 2.01m
Karl said on 15/Sep/05
I think he´s between 198 and 200 cm. Maybe the tallest bodybuilder ever
Anshelm said on 23/Jul/05
His official website says he was 196 cm in 1986 (http://ralfmoeller.com/biografie/weltspitze.php). Though he gets frequently listed at 197 cm on German websites (http://www.ralfmoeller.net/Biografie/biografie.html). I find it likely, that both are measured heights, and that 6'6" is a rough (rounded-up) conversion. His weight has varied between 115–130 kg (254–287 lbs) since 1979. He looked taller than Dolph Lundgren in Universal Soldier, as well as Tom "Tiny" Lister Jr. (6'5"/196 cm to my best knowledge).

Dolph Lundgren is a 1.98m.Dolph is a taller than Raph.
