    Good shout. I need to watch more of Brown, the man had some serious skills from what I can gather.

    Celestino Caballero fits the 'freak of nature' mold IMO.

    Monzon was actually 5'-11-1/2", but with a reach of 76", and NOBODY fought taller and utilized reach to the max as well as Monzon. For every guy who is brought up as anequal or better, you'll probably find a "ko-by"..a tko or knockout defeat, that is, on their record.
