    Who's the tallest and shortest top fighters you can think of?

    I mean relative to their division.

    I'll start with a few obvious ones - Valuev + Paul Williams.

    Am I supposed to see an optical illusion when I look at your avatar?

    I see a boy with his face torn out.

    Heavyweight shortest is maybe Dwight Muhammad Qawi???? I know he wasn't known as a heavy, but he did fight there, and was only about 5 foot 6ish.

    Didn't Guierrmo Jones fight at welter at some point in his career? He's like 6ft 4.

    Joe Walcott was a 5'1" welterweight. Can you imagine him against Mark Breland?

    Yeah, fought him twice with the first going to Holyfield via SD. Second was a fourth round KO for Holyfield.

    He also lost a close UD to Michael Spinks at light heavyweight.

    At heavyweight he beat Leon Spinks, and was stopped by George Foreman.

    Celestino Caballero is 5'11 and he fights at Jr. Featherweight. What a freak of nature.

    How tall was Alexis Arguello??? He was about 5'10 or something, and fought at featherweight.

    Arguello is listed at 5'10, so he can't be that far off i'm assuming and I am pretty sure Diego Corrales did not start at 122lbs. I think the lightest he ever came in was at about 128lbs which is still ridiculous to me.
