    Wasn`t Williams a light middle though? Surely he couldn`t have made 140, he was even taller than Hearns.

    Paul Williams was a Jr. Middleweight who was projected to be the next great middle weight champion. However he was knocked out by Sergio Martinez when he challenged him for his middleweight championship. He was given a decision over Lara which he clearly had lost. Then had a motor cycle accident and became paralyzed unfortunately.

    Roger Mayweather had the longest reach at 130 I can remember, but Genaro Hernandez, Alexis Arguello and Oscar De la Hoya must have had huge reaches too.
