The Tallest/Bigest boxers at each weight

I looked it up..Breland. Hes not taller than Tommy but he is the same size as Williams..Tommy's got about an inch on him

 

Diego Corrales was a huge super FW.

 

Breland is 6' 2" and Tommy and Paul are 6' 1" according to boxrec.

 

Oscar won his first title at 130.

Nunn was a long term 160lber.

Holyfield began his pro career trying to boil down to 175.

 

I'm surprised Mathebula is only 5'11. He looks like a 122lb version of Manute Bol. The guy is just freakishly skinny and lanky.

 

I know Oscar started at 130, but I don't think he was nearly as huge there. In his book, he said he wasn't really allowed to rehydrate as much as he was up at 135- he said a few opponents (can't remember if it was Campanella or Bredahl) demanded a same day weigh in weight limit. I think he was probably bigger at 135 when he was allowed to rehydrate.

168 hasn't seen many big guys, Nunn was very tall/long while he was there though.

Holyfield was a light heavyweight in the olympics, but quickly realized he couldn't do that in the pros. Then he became the bulky, shredded Evan Fields we know and love.

Juan Carlos Gomez was also a big cruiserweight.
