tallest boxers

Valuev is over 7 foot...
Julius Long is a 7 footer..
Akinwande is 6 ft 10
Mike White was over 7 foot
Ed Jones was too..
Marselles Brown is 7 foot tall..

For a welterweight Mark Breland was lengthy at 6 ft 4..

 

Celistino Caballero at super bantam - 5'11"

 

Valouev has always been measured at 7 feet 2 inches tall. I remember one of his fights in Australia when he was measured at 7 feet 4 inches tall.

Vladimir Klitschko is 6 fewet 7 and one quarter inch.

Vitali Klitschko is 6 feet 8 and 1/2 inch. McCline is 6 feet 6 inches tall, but look at how much taller Vlad is than McCline. Derrick Jefferson is 6 feet 6 inches tall, but look at how much taller Vlad is than he. I remember when HBO claimed that Vlad was only 6 feet 5 inches tall, yet when Lampley saw Vlad standing face to face with David Bostice, Lampley said the he looked to be, at least, 2 inches taller than he. I have all of the Klitschko fights and agree. It is just anothes way that American bias stands out. They do anything to downgrade Euro fighters. USTV boycotts so many good Euro fights, then shows some boring crap, such as an undefeated fighter vs. a wino. Sad.....

 

I think Akinwande is more like 6'7". No way he was 5 inches taller than Lewis when they fought.
