    True, though I doubt you'd find a ranked Flyweight contender from the day before weigh in era as tall as the 5ft 11ins Panama Al Brown. In the nicest possible way, he was a physical freak.

    I don’t know a whole lot about Al Brown he was a hell of a durable man for his physique though. I’ve been meaning to read more - watch more of him (not that there is much film is there?) I always had the impression he was a bit of a Robinson type with a lot of physical advantages.

    I don't think there's much film of him, at least not in the public domain. I'm not sure on the SRR comparison, but he's an ATG at Bantam, no question. I have him #6 there and can't imagine a well researched top 10 without him.
