The Tallest/Bigest boxers at each weight

I'd only be interested in hearing about those prior to 24 hour weigh in's (below heavyweight anyway)

 

Panama Al Brown a 5'11 Bantamweight.

 

As I said, prior to 24 hour rehydration periods :good

101 inch reach...

He's also 2.31m compared to the small SNV who was just 2.17m.
And still at cruiserweight.

Obviously the largest Cruiser ever, and also the longest reach for any weightclass.

 

He is the oddest looking person I've ever seen, looks like a real life slenderman:rofl

 

Breland was taller than both Tommy and Williams at 147lbs.

 

7-4 (224cm): Gogea Mitu, Romania (2-1, 1935) -- Lost to highly regarded African-American heavyweight George Godfrey. One Web site listed him at 7-9.

7-4 (224cm): John Rankin, New Orleans (1-0, 1967) – Fought only once, in his hometown, and won a four-round decision.

7-2 (218cm): Jim Cully, Ireland (1-2, 1942 and 1948) – It’s long man from Tipperary.

7-2 (218cm): Ewart Potgieter, South Africa (11-2-1, 1954-57) -- Fought only journeymen in southern Africa, the UK and the U.S.

7-1 (216cm): Carl Chancellor, El Paso, Texas (4-6-2, 1988-90) -- Once fought at 430 pounds.

7-1 (216cm): Julius Long, Detroit (15-12, 2001-present) – Has lost to some big names, including Ray Austin, Sam Peter and Audley Harrison.

7-1 (216cm): Tom Payne, Napa, Calif. (2-2, 1984-85) – Former NBA player went to prison for multiple **** convictions.

7-0 (213cm): Nikolai Valuev, Russia (50-1, 1993-present) – The greatest 7-foot boxer in history.

7-0 (213cm): Marcellus Brown, Louisville, Ky (26-17-1, 1989-2008) – Has lost to Trevor Berbick, Tommy Morrison and Lamon Brewster.

7-0 (213cm): Luis Alberto Gonzalez, Colombia (NA) – Reportedly fought out of Miami in the mid-1980s.

7-0 (213cm): Gil Anderson, Richmond, Calif. (2-0, 1954) – Fought only his hometown.

It seems there really was no single **** longer than that "slenderman"

 

Akeem Anifowoshe was huge at super fly.

Celestino Caballero at super bantam.

Jeffrey Mathebula at super bantam, feather.

 

Fenech was a huge dude at 118
Celestino Caballero at 122 obviously
Arguello at both 126 and 130
De La Hoya and Mosley at 135
Victor Ortiz at 140
Mark Breland at 147 in terms of height, Clottey is supposedly very thick and rehydrates up like crazy after the weigh in
Mike McCallum, Guillermo Jones at 154
Gerald McClellan, Iran Barkley at 160
Michael Nunn is up there at 168
Michael Spinks and Bob Foster at 175
Holyfield at Cruiserweight

 

Oscar was a huge super feather.

 

I would say
Hearns at WW
Ali and Lewis at HW
Antonio Tarver at LHW
Arguello at LW
MCcallum at MW, and maybe at WW too

 

Spinks and Foster are great choices for that weight!!
