1.73 CM NOW Those who say 5ft7 or 5ft10 are G's or Sly's agents !
Brad said on 5/Sep/16
His eBay handle was hilarious. Total implode. It never came back. Graphing in New York City was/is a tough racket. If Sly were in NYC sandals he'd be 5' 10.75" with young G. Who have you met, ya postman? I seen him 25 times Brad.....he's ovah 5' 10". Sal, napkins, I'm due upstairs in an hour.
THE REAL ANNONYMOUS said on 4/Sep/16
Lol Thankyou for confirming my banning and then unbanning Rob!
Nolifts81 it's good to see you posting a little more regular again. I really don't ever see Sly leaving home without some type of lift in his shoes.
He has carved out an amazing life for himself. Much respect to him!
Rey said on 4/Sep/16
Stallone is no taller than Cruise. This perpetuated hype is beyond humor for a man under 5'8".

Lol Brad I was
Banned and yes I did blast G!!
Hey Rob can you confirm I was
Banned at one point regarding big G
Editor Rob
yeah, I remember big G sending me an email once wanting big Brad and yourself off the site because of an ebay handle which could have got his benefits taken away. Although the handle wasn't to do with you.
Brad said on 3/Sep/16
He still wears custom elevators, 2" with ease, 3 in Munsters. He's a weak 5 foot 8 in 2016.
Nolifts81 said on 2/Sep/16
I've seen a clip of a charity event where He is on the stage with billionaire Carlos Slim. I've seen accurately His dress shoes and there are 100% custom made elevator shoes, and I know something about elevator shoes.......š. Thought that He wasn't wearing them anymore But He still use them. I think He get 2 inch from those dress shoes. Maybe He is 5'8"
Brad said on 2/Sep/16
The real Real Anonymous was never
Banned in '06. The real Real Anonymous never blasted the 5' 6.5" G. I did and was
Banned. I was prooven er proven (G moment) correct. He was 5' 6.5" in his photos barefoot, not 5' 8" listed under his name when I first got here. G was never 5' 6" in '06 and the real Real Anonymous wouldn't Newyork (sic) or Glen (sic),

Where was Jim Hopper in '06 when I need him against G force? Over 5' 10" in the Rambo Duece whopper custom wedged ones.
Jim Hopper said on 24/Aug/16
In Rambo 2 hes around 5-10" in his "special" boots. Go figure. Id say barefoot peak 5-8.5.
Brad said on 22/Aug/16
He is 5' 10" in Rocky movies but with custom built up footwear cept when he gets caught in Chuck Taylors or training film.
Sam said on 21/Aug/16
As a teen I always thought he was 5'10 in the Rocky movies but having a good look at him now 5'9 is probably the most accurate. At least then anyway. 5'8.5 would be my lowest guess.
richie said on 15/Aug/16
@Danimal...I do agree with your take on it, Stallone minus any dodgy footwear is around the 5'8/9" range, he was very slightly taller than Burt Young when wearing flat trainers and Young was pushing 5'8" though no more which would make Stallone 5'8.5" ish...This again reads true in Copland where we see Stallone, barefoot, literally towered by Ray Liotta by some 3/4 inches and Liotta is slightly above average at just 6' so Stallone's official height of 5'10" simply does not read true. Very hard to pin down, i'd gamble and suggest 5'8.5" without shoes...
jervis said on 15/Aug/16
Oliver Stone is was 6ft back in 93 ,and Clint has a clear 3 inches on him.Clint was around 6ft3 back then or at least 6ft2.5,no way was he only 6ft1.

I'd like to amend my height listing for Sly. Today at 70 years old, I believe he is down to 5'7.25". Prime height, I have no doubt that he was at least 5'8" and could have been as tall as 5'8.5".

You're right. He's 5'7.5" now and was 5'8.5" in his younger days.

@jorge Only 3 countries in the world have not accepted the metric system, or the International System of Units, United States, Myanmar and Liberia as per BIPM (SI maintenance agency) (can't place a link to their site here)
Many do use the old imperial system (feet, inches etc.) on the side but nevertheless, your 'rest of the world' is quite small by comparison.
On the actual topic at hand, 172-174 seems legit.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Aug/16
Could pull off 177cm range in his prime and sometimes even 178cm.
Brad said on 9/Aug/16
He has short legs. He tried the five foot ten (and more) for years but wasn't 5' 9". His Rambo boots were custom wedged. Go to any awards show in the 70's and carefully look at his heels, they are huge. The dance and move with Ali exposes priceless whopper heels.
Sam said on 9/Aug/16
I thought that he could look 177cm in his prime, maybe because of good proportions and generous footwear.
FrankR1 said on 8/Aug/16
Throughout the 1980s, Sly's height was listed at 5'9.5" in various newspapers and TV guides. He was definitely under 5'10", and it took the heels from his Rambo boots to make him look close to 6 feet. His body was very well proportioned for a man of his modest height.
berta said on 8/Aug/16
peak this height ore 176 i Think. wasnt he listed 177 hwere long time ago? now hmmmmm 174. loss about 1,5 cm at 70 years old that is good

it is hard to make an idea if you are used to meters and centimeters. gotta be doing the math. change that already ! ... rest of the world.
richie said on 5/Aug/16
Stallone's height is literally all over the place and is so difficult to judge, he's definitely a lift wearer no question and could be as short as 5'8" flat, Telly Savalas had a good 2 inches on him in Kojak and Savalas wasn't overly tall at 5'11" and Ray Liotta towered him by some 3 inches in Copland and Liotta is just 6' so i'd say minus any dodgy footwear, could be as low as a weak 5'8", barefoot
Shredder said on 3/Aug/16

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Aug/16
He's not 5ft7. Possibly heading toward 5ft8 flat though
RisingForce said on 31/Jul/16
Best guess would be 5'8.75", or in other words, a weak 5'9" until his mid 60's, imo. But I think he's currently down to just 5'8" the last year or so and currently now that he's. 70.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 31/Jul/16
I think it's possible and could have reached 179/180cm in boots
Buzzo said on 26/Jul/16
Rocky is shorter than me, at 5'8"?
What a shrimp! Of course, I wouldn't call him that in person.
Jug said on 25/Jul/16
On an episode of Kojak, Telly Savalas had about three inches on him. It's possible that Stallone is only 5'7. I would say about 5'8 at the most at peak.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Jul/16
Rob, how likely is 176cm peak?
Editor Rob
you could make a case for it, but I think with his footwear varying so much, he has always been a barefoot enigma to many.
Brad said on 16/Jul/16
He got enormous lift in his custom Rambo boots. Big heel with expensive custom made wedge inside. 5-8.5 max during those early films. Can you imagine him in those Rambo jobs at Sly's "5 foot 10 and 3/4" height fib?
Kyuss123 said on 13/Jul/16
It was said in Rambo 2 he used 3" lifts in those boots. They do look odd imo. 5-8" max prime height.

Ejel Khan said on 11/Jul/16
Rob, is Sly the most controversial celeb on here?
Editor Rob
probably, but there is basically a core group like Stallone/Cruise/Arnie/Pitt/Bieber who all have been argued about for years, with each having several thousand comments submitted.
I'm sure Stallone over 11 years had something like 5000 comments about his height! That's a book's worth!
Brad said on 11/Jul/16
Looking at the barefoot shots of him on the boat from a few days ago you might be right, he's looking shorter.

Standard 2 point 5 customs with Clint. Just needs an elevator button when Clint appears. Hangin by a thread at 5 foot 8 in '16. Wonder if he still fibs 5 foot 10.
He's long since dipped below 5'8" Brad. He's a 70 year old man now and the average will have lost 1.2". I give him 5'8.5" in his prime and 5'7.5" today.

Brad said on 1/Jul/16
5' 9 3/4" prime is almost G talk. He never hit 5 foot nine in his life. His Rambo boots were packed soild with wedge and a good heel....he needed to look stealth taller without a Vin board used with The Rock. Telly looking at his monster boots: "Nice try my New Yawk friend, nobody takes Telly" (lollipop put back in and a pinch of Sly's cheek)

Jesse Stone said on 28/Jun/16
I could make a bet now, that Sly's shoes were NOT normal at the event with Eastwood! Just look at some of the Don's custom footwear and there can't be any doubt he wore lifts with Eastwood.
Maybe Clint was around 6'2 - but you can't deny Slys eemm...nice shoes :)
James said on 28/Jun/16
I think it's easy for many people to confuse inches to feet and inches. I've known guys who were measured at 70" and they assumed that was 6 foot even. Or 72" inches was 6 foot 2. Clearly not the case.
I see little proof to suggest that Sly is under 5'8". I know these guys tend to shrink. But not that much. Sly takes better care of his body than many of those other's who are shrinking at a fast rate.
Case and point I would give him 5'8 1/2" just as this page says.
Dmeyer said on 27/Jun/16
Eastwood was near 6'2,5 back then And sly shoes look normal
Paul said on 26/Jun/16
Rob, is 5'8" possible?
If he was 5'9" he wouldn't be called 5'7" or that range by anyone. An error of 2 inches in height cannot by anyone. I would say he was 5'8" max in his youth. Now maybe 5'7.75 or thereabouts.
Editor Rob
another couple of years and I think he will probably look 5ft 8 most of the time.
Peter 179cm said on 25/Jun/16
I'd say 174cm peak and about 173 now,maybe 172cm at worst so he's pretty much a 5'8 guy now.
jim said on 24/Jun/16
Sly is 5 feet 7 inches tall. What the 70s TV series Kojak. Sly is standing next to Telly Savalas (Kojak) in a scene in Kojak's office, Kojak is looking down at Sly.. Telly was known to be 5 feet 10 inches, Sly is at least 3 inches shorter and the shortest and smallest man in most of the scenes.
Dmeyer said on 23/Jun/16
Even thaugh sly in some movies And premiĆØres did were elevators shoes or cowboy boots , in rambo 2 hĆ© apeared just 5ft 9 so maybe his army boots were regular 1,2inchers

Now think about it yourself. Eastwood might have hit 185 cm (6'1) back then in 1993 and still Sly in (maybe elevators) those shoes....
I say it is a need to downgrade Mr. Stallone to 173 cm (5'8) !!
Arthur said on 19/May/16
I am researching height for 5 years. I know custom wedged footwear much better than you. Thats why Sly looked nearly 1inch 1.5inch shorter than Arnold in some photos .))

Rob likes to add height when they are shorter sly is 5ft8 with his shoes on so he is 5ft7 barefoot

Arthur doesn't understand custom made wedged up footwear.
Arthur said on 15/May/16

I dont see a 4inch difference in here. More like 2.5 inch 2.3 inch range difference. Saying 4inch is blatantly provocation ! If we look at their prime difference yes there was a clear 4inch difference . But now ıts more like a 2.5 inch difference between them. The reason of this that tall people like Arnold shrink way more than shorter people. My guess for their current height ::
Sly : 172.5cm - 1.74 cm depending on the part of the day.
Arnold : 180cm - 182cm depending on the part of the day.
It is impossible for Sly to measure 5ft9 in nowadays. Maybe with 12 -14 hours of sleep he can measure 1.74 .7cm - 1.74 .8 cm at most. If I were Rob I would list him 1.73 cm.

5'9 prime. 5'8 today. He held his prime up until his early 60's IMO. Most of his height loss has come in the last 5 years.
Arnold was around 6'1 prime. 5'11 range today.

@ Junior31 - this is also not the Brad i know...This pic definately proofs not 5'9" for Sly! Arnold at this age is no way 6'1" barefeet, second you can't see their footwear..Third...4.5 inches shorter??? I Don't see that..!
@ Brad - What happened..?
Jcpenny said on 10/May/16
Virgo Mortensen is shorter than 5'8" I saw Gi Gi Rice in front of him at Columbus Ohio Security line for TSA. I thought Gi Gi was with him but she was actually going to her grandfather's funeral. Her dad was my boss and his son inlaw is Jefferson from Married with Children second neighbor husband. Vigo was wearing my climber shoes or some type of really flat tennis shoe. I'm just shy of 5'9" after injuring my back went from 5'10". He was much shorter than me even factoring my shoes. He was close to 3" shorter or more with shoes on both of us and def not taller than Gi Gi. I thought the guy looked like a short Viggo until I saw his ticket.

Tony said on 3/May/16
I'm no longer 5'8" due to my age, but in 1983 I was exactly his height. Then in 2009 he was at least 2 inches taller than I am. Looking at his shoes I estimated a 2.5" lift. If I had to bet my life on it, I would bet he's now 5'61/2" tall. Not that I find heights that important, but my torso is way bigger than his, my legs are way shorter than his. Sitting side by side, you would think he's 5'4" next to me. Either way, camera angles are deceiving, you should ignore those, but don't ignore the fact that the tallest I've been was 5'8" and sly was never taller than me. Today, in 2016, he is no more than 5'7" ( 67" ) barefoot, 66" is tops.

He was short for his time. Hard to pin down his height? That's because he's self conscious about it. If he were of average height of 5'10,5'11 (actually above average 30 years ago) he'd probably not have had such an obsession with making himself appear taller.
Bingo
Tell me,do You bleed? said on 15/Apr/16
@bernie ahahah,don't worry.I guess deciding on what Stallone's true height is makes everybody a littler bit upset against each other.As i stated in previous comments i would not go after a 173 cm mark.In many pics he appears shorter than Van Damme (175-176 cm),Mr .T and other celebrieties whos height goes from 5 9 and up.He also appeared shorter than Serena Williams who is listed as 175 cm .We cannnot deny the fact tha He is an elevator shoes user and more importantly his impeccable posture is a very precious factor to keep in mind when comparing heights.I Think we should all wait Him to meer James Corden on his show.Why?because at that point we will have the final answer (i hope)regarding his heights.If he will stand rhe same height as Corden then 173 cm is a must,if shorter or taller the comments on this page will blow out.Regards.

He was short for his time. Hard to pin down his height? That's because he's self conscious about it. If he were of average height of 5'10,5'11 (actually above average 30 years ago) he'd probably not have had such an obsession with making himself appear taller.
bernie said on 14/Apr/16
@ MJKoP ā asking a normal justified question (Why a 5ā10ā+ Sly is about 2 inches shorter than a 5ā10ā Mr. T, as well in the movie and also in the training footage) for you is stupidityā¦, but not being able to answer or give a reason for it is kind of intelligence? Ok, greatā¦
Stallone was TALLER than Amos in Lock up.. Iām not sure if he really was, maybe even close to his height, butā¦. MJKoP
the shoes he was wearing (+ inside Bonus) when the film was made helped him a lot to realize thatā¦ā¦..
@ Tell me,do You bleed? Sorry for criticizing MJkoP againā¦
Dmeyer said on 13/Apr/16
Did look a hair taller than Amos but had better posture And shoes in the 2,75 type so not under 5ft 9 And the other end looked barely as tall as 5ft 10-10,5 sizemore
Brad said on 13/Apr/16
Can you imagine saying Sly is a minimum of 5' 10"? He wore built up footwear like he did in Rambo to become taller than Amos.
MJKoP said on 12/Apr/16
I stand by my previous testimony. Just because I haven't responded to stupidity, it doesn't mean that I'm conceding. Rob recently met John Amos, and his peak height is listed as 5'11.5 - which is what he would be in "Lock Up"...and in that movie Stallone was TALLER than Amos. Even popular poster Dmeyer acknowledges that fact in the old comments on Amos' page. Go look.
Under 5'10 for Sly just doesn't even remotely add up.
charlie said on 12/Apr/16
Sly has to be around 5' 7" perhaps 5' 6.5. He is the same height as his daughters. Even Conan O' Brien stated that he would like to have a lever beside the guest's chair so when Jeff Goldblum sat down he can raise it up and when Sylvester Stallone sat down he can lower it down. I am going to say he looks closer to 5' 6". Not to mention when he did Rocky he was short. Now he's aged quite a bit he would shrunk a lot since. I'll say Sly is 5' 6" and his Brother Frank is 5' 8".
Brad said on 12/Apr/16
Paulie shots with Sly can turn deadly to Sly's figures. Still claiming 5' 8"......and he might be 5' 6 and a quartah at photo time in the evening tops. Fonz: "Whooaah!!!"

lol your awesome Brad!!
I do believe he was no taller than 5'9 and no less than 5'8.25
Brad said on 6/Apr/16
You got the 10 hours lying in a Volvo and Sal getting fries delivery correct. The NYC Sandals shot was "young G", a 5' 6"er. Stallone owned him hard in wedged footwear on top of his 5' 8.5" barefoot tootsies. G was measured just under 5' 7" after hours in the Volvo bed. 6 hours after a Bronx wake-up I guarantee you 5' 6.5" tops fer da Bronxer in every photo at 9 P.M.. Porty and tip-toe action pushed aside. At 44 years old and 2 and quarter large in '16, he'd measure less now. Sal, napkins.
Brad said on 5/Apr/16
Sly wore enhanced footwear in every Rocky and Rambo movie. He didn't in the training footage or with Paulie and the meat.
THE REAL ANNONYMOUS said on 4/Apr/16
Yeah but Brad you have to remember Glenn was 5'8 and Stallone had his Newyork Sandals on so that makes Sly 5'10
Then Rob measured Glenn at 5'6 after consuming a huge amount of fries and laying in the back of a car for 10 hours
Do you suppose the shrinkage was dye to the fact that Sal put too much salt in the fries??š
Jay said on 1/Apr/16
I understand ,Rob.But the Rocky 3 shots of Stallone and 5'10"Mr.T suggest a 2 inch gap beetween the two .Have a look at this pic
Click Here .Probably he did not weae any sort of enhancement for that movie,even today he seems to mantain a similar height thanks to his posture
Editor Rob
I think he could look in some shots near 2 inches shorter than T, but 1.5 might be ok.
Brad said on 1/Apr/16
The slaughterhouse scene with Paulie was a crushing blow to anything over 5' 8.5". I met my astronaut. "Look at da photo with him n me, see I'm 5 feet 8 and he's 5' 10 and a half". Reality: 5' 6.5" and a 5' 8.5"er in built up customs from Beverly Hills.

I feel for his peak it just seems too low, but today it is more believable.
bernie said on 29/Mar/16
@ Tell me,do You bleed? - alright..
i could also go along with 5'8" in earlier days, but what concerns me personally..no more; caus' of the slaughterhouse scene in Rocky for example (of many others), as already mentioned, with Paulie, who never was taller than 5'8", and they seem very simliar in height, Stallone in sneakers. I'm not pretending to know exactly how tall he is/ was, its only an estimation, but i am very sure 5'7" is too low and 5'10 + has not much to do with reality.. barefoot of course...
RoseBench said on 28/Mar/16
MJKoP is simply lying or severely mistaken. I think lying, but who knows? Over 5'10"? MJKoP stop...just stop,
Tell me,do You bleed? said on 26/Mar/16
@bernie i understand..
By the way,in Rocky 3 Stallone looks a solid 5'8"against a 5'10" Mr.T if not less.I saw a pic of the two.I am firmly convinced of a 173-173.5 cm range for Sly.Plus ,his posture has always been flawless .
truth said on 26/Mar/16
5ft7 is just as ridicolous as 5ft11 for him imho, he is average for his generation and shortish compared to young people.
bernie said on 25/Mar/16
@Tell me,do You bleed? - alright, i understand, everyone has the right to his own opinion and so on..,but no panic.... just wanted to allure MJKoP a little bit, nothing serious....
According to his claim i only requested a suitable answer, why 5'10.75" Stallone is 2 nches shorter than ca. 5'10" Mr. T, for example in Rocky III, nohing more, nothing less, but....
no response unfortunately...

@bernie we understand your height opinion .Stop criticizing MJKoP user in every comment you post,it is very immature
richie said on 22/Mar/16
@Alucard. Yes it is ridiculous to suggest that Stallone is as short as 5'7", he was and still is an average height guy, probably lost a little compared with his peak years and is closer to 5'8" these days but be fair he's almost 70...I noticed you downgraded Carl Weathers to 5'11" which is also nonsense as Weathers is still around the 6'1" mark. Rob's estimation is very accurate i believe...
bernie said on 22/Mar/16
@Alucard - except when you ask MJKoP! He has Mr. Stallone at 5'10.75" without lifts, means barefoot in the late 70ties, as far as i remember..
I doubt this really much..The very first statement i heard about his height, when i was a kid and not that much interested in those things in the early eighties, was
5'7.75" / 172cm. Thats what seemed plausible to me and thats what i believe he was around that height and has not been significantly above that...
Today may be a little less..
Good posture and good lifts (and he had many of them obvious ones..) can give the illusion of 5'11" of course, no question....
Brad said on 21/Mar/16
He's been 5'8.5" for decades til the past 2 years or so. He got 3" easy in heeled boots for decades.
Alucard said on 19/Mar/16
What's borderline ridiculous is having Stallone at a "strong" 5'9, period... He's not average height, never been, he's short... Pulling 6' with lifts? Is this a joke? With his massive 3 inches lifts or more, he barely gets in the 5'10 range, maybe 5'11 at best being generous... Stallone has always been not over 5'7 without lifts and Hollyweird's tricks...

His boxing footwear was built up by a custom shoemaker in Rocky not to mention typical Sly camera shots making him look taller. He was 5' 8.5" in Rocky.
Bingo.
richie said on 16/Mar/16
@Alucard...Stallone's peak height during the 70's was definitely a strong 5'9", watch the scenes in the original Rocky with actor Joe Spinell, who at 5'11" was not a small man and Stallone has a clear inch on him, allbeit with cuban heels so we know that he could pull off a weak 6' with lifts, to suggest as low as 5'7" is borderline ridiculous. Rob's estimation of Stallone's height back then and now is very accurate, he wasn't a particularly big guy but of average height would be closer to the truth.
Johno said on 15/Mar/16

Never been over 5'7 all his life, barefoot, probably even shorter than that... Can't believe at some of the comments here, 5'9 or 5'10 for Stallone, ridiculous, even 5'8 is complete fantasy... Just look at the monster shoes he's wearing, even back in Rocky's days, do you think a legit 5'9 guy would wear those kinds of shoes with 3 inches of boost or more?
curious said on 11/Mar/16
His Peak height was around 5' 8.75'' (174-175 cm), today he seems more like around 5' 7.5'' (171-172 cm).

@ Henry said on 5/Mar/16 your friend got it right! I thought the exact same thing when he was promoting the "Planet Hollywood" restaurants. I met him and said hello. There was a silent gasp. He is not a tiny a man. Giant hands. Just expected him to be taller. He was wearing boots, too. He was very personable with his fans. A lot friendlier than some of the other "stars"...He shares a lot of traits like Rocky Balboa...he even seems even more genuine today.
Henry said on 5/Mar/16

The never ending topic being the height of Sylvester Stallone.....Stallone's height with lifts is somewhere between 5'10/11", which is the height he appears in most of his movies to be fair, Rob's estimation of a peak height 5'9" and 5'8.5" today is probably very accurate. The rare occasion we witness Stallone practically barefoot is in the opening scene of Copland, where he stands with Ray Liotta who is just 6' and we see Stallone towered by at least 3 inches. 5'8.5" is spot on Rob...

Bern', I've said for years the non film training footage has Sly in standard non custom made wedged up boxing footwear. He is clearly 4.5" less than Weathers looking foolish with the 6' 1" actor. Mr. T and Sly training, same deal, owned in same footwear to 5' 8.5". Gster is probably 5' 6" in '16 at 11 P.M., he's over 2 and a quarter from reports I've heard.

@MJKoP - ok, i don't want to make fun of you or doubt what you wrote, honestly!
Just let me know/ please explain to me just two things to give more strenght to believe you, caus for me S.Stallone never looked that height you claim. Ok, i never met him, but in his movies he does not look like that.
Alright, In the Coreography/ footage for the fight in Rocky 1 (I'd say this was his prime..)..why does Sylvester Stallone looks clearly 4-5 inches shorter than 6'1" Carl Weathers?
In the training for Rocky 3 with Mr. T.. why does Sylvester Stallone looks clearly a good 2 inches shorter than 5'10" Mr. T? Strictly speaking the whole body proportions look clearly shorter than mr.T's...; shorter legs, shorter upper body.. you can check this clips on youtube. I would be very grateful for a convincing answer. Thanks, Regards
pauly e said on 11/Feb/16
I saw a recent video of Sly and Carl Weathers yesterday. Sly looked little next to him...but when they stood next to each other it looked to me like Carl had 4 maybe 4.5 inches on him. So I really think the 5'8.5 listing is close assuming Carl WEathers is 6'1 (which I think he is)
184.3cm (Night) said on 11/Feb/16
@MJKoP
I don't need to see him in person to know he was never 5'11. His ex Wife is around 6 foot and was easily 2.5 inches taller than him. Arnie always had legit 4 inches on him back then so unless he was 6'3 at least ( pause for laughter) we have again a problem. He was shorter than 5'11 Viggo Mortensen in Dayllight as well.
You say you have issues with your height, well i say face those demons. Grab an aerosol and measure yourself against a wall and be honest with yourself. If your "5'10" Brother" was shorter than Stallone and you are two inches shorter than him...then my guess is you are a G man 5'6" range is all you get.
Jim Hopper said on 10/Feb/16
5-8.5 peak. Now 5-8. Not lost much.

MJJ and Stallone were both in the 5'11" range. Only difference is that Michael often slouched and wore flat shoes, while Sly frequently forced ramrod posture and would occasionally wear lifts, boosting him well past six feet.
Thanks for the laugh needed that. 5'9 peak for both men and Stallone is 5'8 now.
Please remind of when you saw Stallone in person? I did, and for an extended period of time. I've told this story many times. Him and my brother were wearing comparable water-resistant aqua-shoes. It was on a boardwalk by a beach. I looked down and saw Sly's bare-skinned heel with absolutely zero extra boost. He may as well have been barefoot. I took careful observation, because at 5'8" I've always had a height complex. My brother measures just over 5'10", and Stallone, was clearly taller than him - granted not by much, but enough to make him a weak, but legit 5'11". In fact, had a picture been taken, the difference between Stallone and my brother would've appeared greater, due to Sly's hair advantage. I could tell that my brother was standing as tall as possible to try and match Stallone, but he couldn't quite do it. No matter what stance or position the two of them took, Sly always had a higher eye and shoulder level. Stallone was no doubt the taller man, and my brother is a legit 5'10 plus - or at least he was in 1979! I saw him measured myself barefoot midday at the doctors only months prior to our encounter with Stallone.

He should be 5'8.25 today, but by the time Rob's wholly convinced, Sly will be 5'8 flat.
A Cut Above said on 3/Feb/16
As i mentioned a lot of times before,viewing several pics of Stallone,the actor is aroind 173 - 173.5.The concept of height loss due to age is widely adopted on this page but I will tell something.The stature decrease everyone argue about comes most of the times in people eho are experiencing poor posture developing ,such as slouching.Is this a condition in wich Sly is involved?Not at all.In fact,if You see the movie "Copland",Stallone is slightly shorter than De Niro (possibly 1.74 cm at that time).De Niro had a good posture back then .Now,see some photos of the two nowdays...De Niro posture is very very poor so the loss of stature is pretty visible and Stallone appears taller than him,of course most of the pics i saw Sly was wearing elevator shoes but you can clearly observe that bad posture subtracts a lot cms ,as in the case of the De Niro.In a Pic from Rocky 3,Stallone and Mr.T are facing off each other and i can see a 2 inch gap between the two.Besides,Mr.T is 178 cm so mathematically you obtain 173 for Sly.So this is my opionion,folks.
Arthur said on 3/Feb/16
Some people on here talking about body proportions saying Sly was 5ft10 he has long lengs etc.I will tell you proportions tell nothing. Nothing! My sister is 5ft3 she is very skinny and has very long legs and even she can look like a 5ft5 5ff6 girl! Everybody always guess her a 5ft5 girl.Same as my father.My father is a 5ft8.5 5ft9 man and he also has very long legs compared to his body he is about 160 lbs.And most people guess him 5ft9.5 to 5ft10.
So proportions tell nothing. You need to properly measure a guy to know his real height or you need to judge him in photos where he stands with other people.Ä°nstead of talking about body proportions explain the photos I sent here with logic.You can look at Slys newer photos he isnt even taller than his daughters of course they have heels but I am pretty sure they are 5ft10 max even with heels.You can also look the photo of Sly where he stands with 5ft10 Micheal B Jordan Sly clearly looks 2inch shorter.For my opinion it is impossible for Sly to be taller than weak 5ft9 in his peak days.He is about 5ft8 in nowadays.He has a great body compared to his age I dont think he shrunk more than 1inch.
Lolo said on 2/Feb/16
To me, all in all, sly was a weak 176 cm at peak and still is 175 cm now. Anything under is suspicious with what we see in Creed. Did you see the movie ROB ?

Current height 5' 7.75''
He wasn't short for his era but just average and with lifts (2.5''-3'') was able to pull off a maximum of 5' 11.5''. Actually I never knew he was max. 5' 8.75'' until recently as he always appeared 5' 10'' to 5' 11'' in his movies because I had no idea that lifts and elevator shoes were so widespread in Hollywood.

Come on, Arthur. Are you seriously trying to imply that Mike was never any taller than 5'6 or 5'6.5? I'm sorry, but even without platform shoes, he never looked that short in his adult years. Not ever. It might look that way in that pic of him next to 5'7 Sinatra, but there could be a catch to it, especially since it was only focused on their upper bodies. Heck, I'll even come out and say the same thing for those pics of him and Sly that I mentioned, so that I don't come off as hypocritical. But never mind about that. Let's just focus on Sly, because if there's one thing that I really hate, it's when discussions are constantly switching on certain pages that regard only one specific topic. Now, what you mentioned about Sly being only 5'9 in his heyday, that might be negotiable. I just feel that the look of his natural body length might suggest otherwise. I mean, something just doesn't seem right.

Jackson was over 5' 8" easy, I met him in '84 in Orlando.
Arthur said on 31/Jan/16
Anthony I never said Sly was 5ft7. I said he was a weak 5ft9 guy in his peak days.Yes Sly was taller than Micheal Jackson but this was 1inch at max.By the way Micheal Jackson was never over 5ft8.
He wasnt even taller than 5ft7 Frank Sinatra.

Rob, is 5ft8 flat today a possibility?
Editor Rob
you can argue at times he does look that short
bernie said on 30/Jan/16
@Patrick 5foot9 - "statham and stallone are not lying with his 5foot10 and 11 claims" ..yes, thats a good joke for sure..LoL!!
Statham besides 165-166cm Jet Li only appears 2 inches taller...
Sorry, you're not a good estimate in height, i have to agree to Jim Hopper, no more than 5'8" for both, Mr. Statham & Mr. Stalllone flat/ barefeet...!
amaterasu said on 30/Jan/16
Looked no less than 5'9" at his peak, and at times could look even taller. Rob, a guy like him did a lot of stunts and weight lifting in his life, plus he is already old now, so how could an old man with that active life style shrink only by 1cm ? He still manage to look close in height with 5'9" guys like Statham. Any chances he was more than 175cm in his prime?
Editor Rob
at times he certainly looked over 5ft 9, but I think most of that was down to footwear. I think Stallone's bone health is probably a lot better than other guys his age range, so although he did a lot of action movies, it's possible he only lost a little with normal wear & tear.

Great analysis,Arrhur.Keep it up
Anthony said on 29/Jan/16
First off Arthur, let me just say that you didn't have to get so upset at my verbal defense. For 2 reasons. 1: I was not trying to start a fight, but only trying to prevent one from escalating. And 2: it wasn't even directed towards you, given that you're not the one who was attempting to insult my intelligence. But just to show you I'm not insecure, I grant you my sincerest humble apologies. Now back on subject here, what you said about MJ having never been 5'9, I have to say that's impossible. Many places list him at that height. He certainly looked like he was, especially since he appeared much taller than that slimy rat Martin Bashir who stands a measly 5'6. He couldn't have been wearing heels at that point. As for those picks you pointed out to me, as much as I'd like to say they were helpful, in all honesty, they were kind of confusing. But, Arthur, if you have doubts about MJ being naturally 5'9, then don't let me stop you. And GP, maybe I am new to this site and maybe I'm not. I just figured that it shouldn't matter if those pics I mentioned only showed Sly and MJ's upper bodies, since a lot of people seemed to know MJ's natural height. Maybe it was lifts. However, I still say that Sly's body length looked much longer that a lousy 5'7. But don't let my theory offend you. Sorry boys, but I just can't stand the excitement of this argument anymore.

Cant see over 5-8 today barefoot.
Patrick 5foot9 said on 28/Jan/16
Im one of those guys who never thought Stallone ist small. I would guess him taller than me. Rob is the expert, but i think, maybe many people like statham and stallone are not lying with his 5foot10 and 11 claims. IĀ“m 1.75m at worst, and i dont see so tall as the dudes appear to me in photos and other media stuff.

Lift magician. His sneakers are ramped.

james, was Ray Liotta wearing shoes? if so, that would still make Sly average height for his era - 5'8''-5'9''

Funny to see the same people trying to downgrade him for so long on this site. By the way, Boxing shoes is like being barefoot. When i see my friends with them on, they loose 1 Inch on me automatically. You have the feeling that they look small. But they aren't. They just lost 1 inch on you because you have normal shoes and thay have Boxing shoes which is like being barefoot.
My guess : 176 cm peak
175 cm now.
I wouldn't go under. Just watch Creed. He is often on sneakers and he barrely looks short.
As a boxer your 100pct right. Boxing shoes add virtually nothing in regards to height. But I will tell you. Look at his sneakers a little closer. There was a scene in creed when he was in the hospital going through chemo and he is seated. His sneakers look like stilettos. Don't be fooled he's been a lift magician since the 70s. He's 5'8 and a hair these days.
Arthur said on 27/Jan/16
Anthony I am not you enemy or something I just got angry of your offensive attitude.I have respect for your opinion.Now lets get to the business Micheal Jackson has never been a 5ft9 guy.He used to wear 2inch 3inch heeled cuban shoes yet still looked 5inch smaller than Bill Clinton
Click Here
And one more he used to wear 2inch shoes with Eddie Murphy who has flat red generic shoes and yet looked same height as him.Eddie murphy is 5ft9.
Click Here
Click Here same height one have cuban shoes one have elavator shoes no difference!
Click Here you are talking about this micheal jackson has terrible posture and massively slouching and Sly have his magical shoes again
Click Here Click Here look at slys shoes hope this helps!
GP said on 27/Jan/16
Hey Anthony, I'm just curious are you referring to photos of Sly with Jackson where you can't see the shoes? I think you gotta be new to this site since you think that Sly was legitimately taller than Jackson. Only recently he has started using smaller lifts, before he always had at least 2" in his shoes.
dmeyer said on 27/Jan/16
Even the monsters he had in rocky and cobra he could get 2.75in measuring almost 6ft
james said on 27/Jan/16
I watched Copland at the start of the movie Stallone is coming out of a bar in flip flops 5'11 Ray liotta helps him to his car ..he was about 3 inches shorter than ray
Anthony said on 27/Jan/16
I'm sorry Arthur, but are you Danimal's agent or something? You can't tell me not to stand up for myself, which is all I was doing. This guy was the one who started it. Because I was politely pointing out a fact until he began running his big mouth, trying to label me as a fool, which I'm not, so I fought back. And I'm sure you would've done the same thing. Now as far as Sly's real height goes, if you're still not convinced that he used to be near 5'10 (without heels), check out some old pics of him standing next to Michael Jackson, who by the way was one of his close friends. Michael Jackson stood 5 feet 9 inches, and Sly clearly had at least half an inch on him. If that's not enough proof, then I don't know what else to tell you.

Rob,do you think he used lifts during the fight against Anronio Tarver in "Rocky Balboa"? I saw some pictures of them together at the premiere and Stallone seemed to wear elevator shoes.Hower,I still can't guess on that movie fight
Editor Rob
I wouldn't put the idea past him...after all, he talked about fighting in lifts before.
Brad said on 25/Jan/16
Sly has never been 5' 10" or even 5' 9". He has never had long legs, get any beach shot, short legs. Sly's boxing shoes on camera were wedged up customs like his Rambo boots. Anthony sounds like G.
Arthur said on 25/Jan/16
Anthony I wont call danimal rude he is a polite person and I have the same opinion as him.Sly was a 1.74 1.75 cm guy in his peak.Danimal is right Sly wasnt even a strong 1.75cm in his peak.There are lots of photos showing he was a weak 5ft9 guy in his peak.He was a weak 5ft9 guy in his peak.And this is a height forum with rules so everyone has rights to say their opinion.Dont call anyone pathetic again.You cant stand a person when he dissarange your opinion.Dont be like that.in my opinion Sly was around 5ft8.5 range in his peak days.It can be anywhere beetween 1.73cm to 1.75cm range.I dont agree with the opinions that stating he was over 5ft9.I am not saying Sly was 5ft7 or something.But definetly between 5ft8 to 5ft9.
Alex said on 25/Jan/16
Looks barely 5'8 with his wife
Brad said on 25/Jan/16
The first one Jesse chucked up is the reason he looked taller so many times, wedged up monster custom boots. He tried this crap with Telly in '75 and got the "who loves ya baby" pointing at his Telly whoppers.
Anthony said on 24/Jan/16
Danimal176, is your life really so pathetic that you have to respond twice to my first comment from last month. First of all, I'm not your friend, so don't you be calling me that. Secondly, I've already explained that aside from the high heeled shoes, a person's height is clearly noticable by their body length. Back in the 70s you could cleary see that Sly had very long legs, which showed he was either 5'10 or close to it. And thirdly, that Rocky 4 photo you pointed out to me that showed Sly and Burt Young standing nearly the same height is completely invalid. Wanna know why? I'll tell you. Sly was wearing his frigging boxing shoes in that pic! And every smart person knows that boxing shoes have much flatter bottoms than regular shoes, which make people up to an inch taller. Which by the way 5 foot 8 Burt Young was wearing. So, whose the uneducated one now, smarty?
Pitch_Fork said on 24/Jan/16
I guess he was in 5'8'' range in his prime and now is about 5'7'' judging from Jesse Stone pics.
With his build, proportions and wearing elevator shoes almost all the time it's no wonder he doesn't look short.
Still a legend if you ask me
jtm said on 22/Jan/16
i was watching the critics choice awards last week and he was shorter than mary j blige. she must have been wearing big heels but there is no way he's 5'8.5.

Sly most certainly was a full 5 feet 10 inches in the early Rocky movies
He most certainly wasn't. He wasn't even a full 5'9" in the early Rocky movies. LIFTS and HIGH-HEELED leather boots my friend. Pay attention to his footwear in those movies.
Alex said on 21/Jan/16
I think Sly is about 170-172 cm barefoot.
Jesse Stone said on 21/Jan/16
These aren't quite flat I'd say
Click Here -- see, cuban heels and a huge amount of insole... guess he could pull off over 5'11 in these!
And here too

Sly (in those odd shoes) not taller than his 5'9 wife almost barefoot
Click Here Click Here
I think he's around 5'8 now
Arthur said on 21/Jan/16
To be honest for Sly the most he pulled of was 5ft11.75.He never appeared over 5ft11.75..Considering the maximum amount of lits he uses around 3inch range that gives him 5ft9(1.75cm)- 5ft8.5(1.74cm) in his peak.
You can argue for him that he is in 5ft8 range nowadays.Anything below or over is absurd in my opinion.Most new people in this site dont know the fact that the maximum height a person can get with elevator shoes is in 3.5inch range Rob prooved that.If you buy and try the 5inch -5.5inch big elevators and measure yourself you will see they will give you 3.5inch-3.8inch at most and keep in mind it is very hard to walk with that type of big models.So there is no way for Sly to wear these munsters all the time.And we are talking about action films there is no way that you can wear this type of biggest elevators in these films.But I agree with you there is no doubt he weared 2.5inch-2.75inch models he weared that type of small elevators all the time.Yes Sly used elevator shoes.but most of them are in between 2inch-3inch range.The 4inch or 5inch ones are urban legend.There is absolutely no way to get 5inch from an elavator shoe..Sly is a legend and a charismatic person and uses moderate elevator shoes not obvious ones.If you want to know a person that uses monster type of elevator shoes it is Robert Downey not SLY!
Click Here Never seen SLY wearing that type of obvious ones!

Well he really is a magician isnt he? He could look Arnie in the eye at ome point but now consistently looks 3 inches shorter. He must have been packing elevators that gave minimum 3 inches. Probably rambo customs Ā£Ā£Ā£
So i have Arnie at 5'11 nowadays so Sly is 5'8 flat imo.
The Shadowmaster said on 17/Jan/16
Telly Savalas height is 5ft 10.75in. Stallone appeared with him in an episode of Kojak. There were eye level shots of them standing, talking together. Savalas was much taller. At least 3 inches taller than Stallone. No way was Stallone 5ft 9in back in the 1970's when the episode was shot.

Old fashioned average height was 5'8
richie said on 17/Jan/16
@Alucard...Carl Weathers 5'11" and Sly Stallone 5'7" ???? Sorry but Weathers is still a tall guy at 6'1" and Stallone a weak 5'9", to suggest anything less is just ridiculous. Remember Tony Burton from the Rocky series, Burton was actually a professional boxer and stood at 5'11" and Weathers had 2 inches on him.
