Here are the 10 tallest men.
No.1
Mr. Robert Wadlow
8.11 feet
Alton, USA
He was the tallest man to be ever born and till now nobody could break his record of the tallest man ever. In the photo he is standing with his father, Harold Franklin. It was really sad that he died at a very young age of only 22 and people even said that his height didn’t stop growing even just a few days before his death. He died in the year 1940.
No.2
Mr. John Rogan
8.9 feet
Tennessee, USA
He became the tallest Afro-American. He was not able to walk because of his height. Unfortunately he is not alive anymore.
No.3
Mr. Leonid Stadnyk
8.5 feet
Ukraine
He was recorded as the tallest man by Guinness world record but the title was removed from his name when he refused to be measured by the Guinness world record representatives. He is still alive and is counted in top 3 tallest alive men on earth
No .4
Mr. Vaino Myllyrinne
8.1 feet
Finland
He once was called the tallest man on earth at time of 1961 to 1963. He was the tallest Finnish soldier ever. Unfortunately he is not alive anymore.
No.5
8.1 feet
Mozambique
He is the tallest African ever recorded in the history and he is one of those 12 men who reached the height of 8 feet. His height turned out to be a problem for him and that is why it became very difficult for him to walk. He died in the year 1994.

i saw aman in canada so tall that i could hardly fit him into my camera.
Good job. =)
Sorry to bust your boble, but mr Leonid Stadnyk is not even 7.7 – and I can see why he don’t wanne be measured up. everybody just take it on word. If someone took their time to “investigate” compare him with other known people he is with on pictures – for exampleif Ukraine’s President Viktor Yushchenko in Kiev, you would see why Guinness choosed Sultan Kosen as the world tallest man.
