    I want to study some footage of the best Tall/Lanky fighters exhibitionning good work off the jab and range fighting.

    Some will point out to Thomas Hearns, but I would like other opinions and especially particuliar fights that I could watch and learn from.

    Thanks!

    I wouldn't say Johnson was exceptionally tall for his weight, not in the Hearns/Foster mould. Panama Al Brown is one to watch out for.

    Carlos Monzon was excellent at keeping his range. When he won the title from Nino Benvenuti he looked really good, and against Jose Napoles.

    Not especially tall, but he fits the "lanky" mould and is one of the premier examples of a jab-oriented pure boxer.

    A few of Eusebio Pedroza's would qualify.
