The best “TALL” fighter

I remember after Lewis vs Holyfield 1 Don Turner said Lennox Lewis was the best in the world at fighting tall ...which fighters in history were the best at using their height and reach to their advantage?

 

Tommy Hearns.

/Thread.

 

I would like to dedicate this thread to the late Genaro Hernandez

 

Better than Monzon ?

 

I'd say so, Monzon never outboxed a Benitez or Leonard.

 

Hearns

Lewis

Wlad

Monzon

Foster

 

That was easy hahaha.

 

Along with Hearns and Monzon. Add Arguello and Danny Lopez. Both were tall for their weight class, both could fight "tall" but seemed to favor inside.

 

Arguello is a wonderful choice.

Cheers.

 

Bob Foster comes to mind. He was 6'4 which was huge for a Light Heavyweight back in the same day weigh in era. Hell, it's tall for nowadays as well.

Panama Al Brown deserves a mention. Even taller than Zarate and one hell of a fighter.

 

Lets see. Milton Mccroy. Hearns of course.
Genaro Hernandez- classy boxer even classier person.
De La Hoya. Mark Breland at times.
Alexis Arguello. While not a fan of his Maske fought tall.
Michael Nunn at times although he lingered on the inside at times too much.

 

Al or Joe Brown? Or both?
