I think haye probably had a bit of a footwear advantage in that pic but what height we got for Joe these days?
I'd say he's 6ft4 probably about 194cm. I saw him on TV standing next to the 196cm Jerome Kaino and there wasn't much between them.
He WAS 6'4," but last year he said he had grown, and was the same height as Izu at 6'5." So I figure, between 6'4" and 6'5." How about 6'4" and a half?

I don't think Izu is 6'5, even though he was listed as that. I think Izu is 6'3 or 6'4.
Jo is definitely 6,4, Maxing it. I think Haye and his lifts are playing up. I saw a pick of hAYE and Joshua and they looked similar. Kaino is a tall 6,4 and on a good day maybe a 6'5. I think jo has been honest with gis height and 6'4 is bang on. Sometime 6'3 people can look very similar to 6'4 as jo looks not to bad next to 6'5 and 6'6
Let me have another go at it. When Joe came into camp 3 years ago, Joe was listed at 6'4" and Izu at 6'5". KB and Joe clearly said that Izu was an inch taller. Moving ahead several years, Joe and KB said that Joe was the same height as Izu. They should know, being together, sparring, etc. So that would make Joe 6'5" now.

How it appears when Joe is standing next to Hughie or Haye could be the angle, how straight they stand, what shoes they have on, etc.
I agree with die but still cant shake that he is 6'4. Just some food for thought, When izu was a kick boxer he was 6'3.

Not saying you're wrong. Just giving the history. You could be right!
