You read my mind. :good

 

bredis prescott - Tall and rangey for a Lightweight

paul williams - is Lanky for a 147lber

amir khan - 5ft 11 is quite tall for a LW/LWW

 

Honestly what do you guys consider tall for a weight anyways??

Id say 5'7 is ok for light weight

5'9 junior welter

5'10 welter

5'11 junior middle

ECT...


I dont take the literal meanings into effect because you have to remember, most fighters cut 15 pounds anyway. So add 15 pounds to each weight to get the real weight class :good

 

Raul perez bantamweight champ 5-11 ,Paul Gonzalez 5-9 flyweight ,Joey Olivio 5-8 jr flyweight champ ,Mario MIranda 5-10 featherweight ,Robin Blake 6-0 lightweight, Vonzell Johnson 6-4 lt heavy, Fred Hutchings 6-2 JM,

 

And most People act like Williams is the only fighter that likes to fight short fighters?

 

Oscar De La Hoya was pretty tall for his earlier weights.

 

Pavlik?:huh

 

Alvin Hayes who Jimmy Paul defeated in 1984 was a 6 ft 1 and a half lightweight .

 

To add to those mentioned... Antonio Cervantes was 5'10, or maybe even 5'11 at 140.
