Kuclo on the right is 6 feet flat, Dennis looks to be closer to 6'2 honestly. I know someone who has trained at the same gym as him and is 5''10 and said dennis towered over him.

These guys all wear shoe lifts and/or ALDO type shoes that add 2 to 3 inches to your real height.

Levrone, Flex, Ronnie, Chris Cormier are all around the same height, given a inch or two---look at them all together at Olympia line ups---If Kevin is 5'7-5'8, then Shawn Ray is 5'3.

I'm a height expert in bodybuilding.

Kevin is 5'9
Flex is 5'10
Cormier is 5'10
Coleman was 5'10 (shorter now)
Ray is 5'6

wrong on both parts.

1. kevin is not 5'9 and a half barely 5'9.
2. Dennis has had some back problems and several surguries  I believe and lost some height from cancer treatment/ loss of bone mass.  IN his prime he was very tall, I would say a strong 6 feet. People loose height with age, add what he's been through and it's very believable he could of shrunk an inch or two. Which would make him 6'1 in his prime. Look at the pic I posted of him with kuclo, steve is 6 feet flat

your wrong on both, I am 5'9 and have seen Levrone 20+ times and he is taller then me and I have seen Dennis as far back as the late 90's,  and he is not 6 foot trust me, you are dead wrong, a pic?... are you kidding, a pic don't prove height, I have seen these guys on multiple times in real life, stood beside them, I know more then you looking at a pic and basing your information on a pic.

One also has to take account what type of shoes you or the bber is wearing during said meeting..90s Era Sketchers boots with the big thick heel, dress shoes, sneakers, Nike Shox, flat Sambas or Chuck Taylors, etc.

no your wrong. First off titus is 5'9,  dennis is leaning down , craig titus has his head raises up ....and  3 inches dont look like much on the computer screen. I think you  need your eyes  checked. Hell there was  someone on a thread who asked gavin kane if dennis really 6 feet tall?  Sad "at least" as the other fucker was  5'11. See the interview with dave palumbo and newman..... dennis is a good few inches taller than dave. 5'11 ::)

Who needs to get their eyes checked.... can`t you see that pick, ya his head is down, but his knees same level as Titus, his waist, his chest, same level, fuck man give it up bro, you haven`t even seen him in person and I have, Wolf isn`t even 6`1 and he towers over every competitor, Dennis never towered over his compittion. In every mag and every documented stats he is always 5`10 and I clearly remember when they varified his his height at a show and it came up to 178 cm,... all of a sudden a guy from getbig is claiming he is 6`1 revealing this to the world after 20 years, ya ok.....

BTW no beef, just saying 8)

Seen Levrone enough times over the years to know he's slightly taller than me. Unless he wore elevator shoes, my best guess is 5'9 without shoes.

I used to see Cormier almost everyday when I lived in socal he and wheeler were about the same 5'10, maybe u might not be as tall as u think

Take a look at stage pics of levrone, Cormier, Ronnie, wheeler ALL relatively the same ht. Ray is clearer shorter than kev by 2 to 3 inches...

Again height and bbers in thongs is serious business

i'm 6' now... was 6'1" maybe 6'1.5" back when I'd see these guys in person semi-regularly. I don't recall ever seeing ronnie in person when he wasn't sitting down. I was surprised at how short kev and cormier were... ruhl too, and how small/narrow/compact johnnie jackson was, and was always surprised at how tall wheeler and lee priest were, or how wide tom prince was.

the other guys were about what i expected (dillett, cutler, mike morris,  kamali, titus, milos, nasser, melvin, derik, ect..... ), height wise.

Flex got robbed here.

Also any of the top 10 at the 1996 Arnold would walk this years Arnold but in modern judging terms would get passed over anyway.
