    There are probably hundreds of midgets who have boxed, especially in the old days. Not sure whether they count as "pro" fights, but it was something the old timers liked to bet on.

    Monty Meza-Clay is the smallest I've seen, but I don't really watch the really small guys.

    How tall is Clay?

    On a more modern note aswell, Ivan Calderon is only 5'0" I believe.

    Really? I thought he was only just under 5 foot.

    Really puts his accomplishments into prospective.

    The fighter I thought of when seeing this thread was Ian Napa who is 5 ft 1 in.
