    BTW
    I'm struggling to see how this to and fro debate about height has any relevancy to the subject of the thread.

    No I don't,I think he would give him a decent fight though,a better one than Lastarza , and Cockell managed.

    Taller fighters can of course carry more weight comfortably.

    That is inarguable.

    Depends on the era. Jimmy Wilde at middleweight?

    I have no idea what you are talking about.

    I know that if Jimmy Wilde was taller, he could comfortably hold more weight.

    Sandy Saddler was taller than heavyweight champion Tommy Burns yet he languished in the featherweight ranks under Willie Peps shadow.

    Do you think Sandy skipped being a light heavyweight if he really could comfortably carry so much more weight?

    Every fighters physical make up is different.

    Fighters shoot for the lowest weight they can hold and work up.

    Saddler could comfortably hold more weight if he was three inches taller than he was.

    Inarguably.

    So Saddler could comfortably carry more weight than 133lb at 6 foot but not at 5’9”?? That makes no sense at all. :lol:

    There have been a lot of 5’9” boxers weigh more than 133 pounds you know.

    You are being deliberately obtuse,it is inarguable that a taller man can carry added weight better than a shorter one, subject to his physical make up .
    [Bob Foster found it difficult to add meaningful weight]
    ****ed up thread!

    Oh “subject to physical make up”! Well, well, well!

    I thought it was inarguable?

    Pity Bob Foster wasn’t around now. It would be worth seeing Bob fail a drugs test just to see what he would look like and how far he would go.

    Bob Foster. I rest my case!
