    Yeah I think so. That's why I thought of him, he was pretty tall and had a sick reach for a bantamweight. Most of those guys are around 5'4 I'm pretty sure.

    Brown was damn near 6 foot with a 76 inch reach. Talk about a lanky mother****er.

    There used to be some footage of him up on Youtube.

    For pure physical size Lionel Rose was a freak at Bantamweight.

    You know, it doesn't strike me so much when I see him in street clothes but when I see Caballero get in the ring, he may be one of the oddest built fighters I've ever seen. Not just lanky but an awkward frame, the shoulders are so strange too. Also Sandy Saddler.

    :patsch I thought id be the first one to mention Kid Akeem.
    A good friend of mine fought Kid Akeem they ruled it a 1st round ko but it was a butt my buddy Efren Chavez was going even with him,but the cut was so bad they stopped it. He also fought Johnny Tapia to a draw.

    How about Valuev? Although downright terrible, he is the biggest HW in history.

    Arguello - how many 5'11 featherweights are there, let alone 5'11 feathers with an iron chin, monster power and great stamina?
