Arnold Schwarzenegger along side Wilt Chamberlain and Andre the Giant

[Wathen1955]

Arnold: ~240 lbs. 6'3"
Wilt: ~275 lbs. 7'1"
Andre: +500 lbs. 7'4"

I'm sorry, but that is a chop. Wilt is only 10" taller than Arnold, and I'm 6'5" and just measured my head from chin to crown, and is 10". Arnold's would be the same. AND, Andre is 3" taller than Wilt. Again, picture doesn't support it.

Another quick measurement...

In the provided picture Wilt is 5.483" and Arnold is 4.6....both from left heel to crown of head. That shows Arnold being 83.995% as tall as Wilt.

Doing the same math on 85" and 75" yields 88.235%.

Okay, now you're just showing off.

No, now I am. The red line shows his true height compared to Wilt. And as his height increases, so does his breadth. He's nowhere near as puny as this pic attempt to portray. Andre is still bogus.

It could be debated endlessly with conflicting sources, but there's a lot of people that think Arnold is somewhat shorter than others think.

My research says he's 6'2", which means he'd be even bigger in the OP.

So measuring the same heel to crown metric from the 6'5" dude and Arnold in the airplane pic, big dude is 3.783" (77" in real life) and Arnold is 3.625" (???). The math says he's 73.78", or extremely shy of 6'2" give or take internet photo measurements. 3.625/3.783 * 77" equals his height. Arnold is 6'2". People don't understand perspective.

Then your research didn't include reading my link.

I read your link and used your picture (the airplane one).

Measure the 1st picture yourself and do the math.

Did you read the part about his high heeled boots and lifts in his shoes?

And the people in that picture are not standing in a straight line. Some are quite a bit closer to the camera than others. Most have their feet apart and/or knees bent. The guy under the 6'3" mark has his right leg bent quite a bit and appears to be leaning back on it. He is also several feet back from Arnold. An since we don't know the height of the camera we have no perspective point.


It's an endless argument. Actually pointless, too.

Yes - the info I posted are approximate values noted by the "~" due to the different specs being reported at different web sites. Either way, Andre is a monster in size all the way around.

I've got a tenant who is almost as big as Andre. When he shakes your hand it's like shaking hands with someone wearing a baseball catcher's mitt.
