What's Your Favourite Tall Man Style? ?

Loved how well Vitali could fight going backwards. I was recently watching the Arreola fight not the best opponent but it shows Vitali's versatility while fighting tall while throwing punches at volume.

 

Sven Ottke is severely underrated and has alot of undeserved bad **** on his name.

 

Foreman, especially in the 90s. I think he fought like a big guy better than anybody else.

I’d go with Sandy Saddler, Salvador Sanchez and Danny Lopez being among my favorite to watch with this sort of build, and each went about it differently.

 

I think I might be the biggest Svennie fan on here! Although well, that's not what this topic is about.

 

Tunney had such a suffocating style to face as a smaller man in his fight against Gibbons; constantly pressuring and baiting you with that long jab while his low hands give you a false sense of security and almost dare you to make the first move.

 

I loved Kid Akeem.

 

Explosive power punchers like Nonito Donaire, Diego Corrales, Vernon Forrest and Gerald McClellan all had that style that I also like in tall fighters.

 

Joltin’ Jeff Chandler is one that stands out to me. Perhaps my Philly bias.

 

I plead to the dear hearted and gentle posters of this forum to please keep contributing to this thread as i am in quick need of tall fighters to study

 

Johnny Tapia for me, when he was boxing at 115. One of my favourite boxers. I loved how he could switch and combine his very classical technical style with his unorthodox movements and combos. Great reflexes too. His performance against Romero should be watched for anyone who hasn't. His performance against Konadu was also impressively disciplined in this regard, considering Konadu wasn't short either.

I liked his heavy jab in the 90s. Didn't quite have the speed of foot though. He was more of a mix of the tall style and a pressure fighter.

 

Michael Nunn is one I haven't seen get mentioned yet. Probably one of the most illusive tall guys I've seen in the sport.
