    Nothing to do with British boxing in all honesty but thought it might interest a few. So just read about this guy in a world boxing news article. His name is Sebastian Fundora an american middleweight who is a staggering 6ft7!

    Out of interest, how well do people think he will do with an obscene height advantage? Or will it in fact be a weakness with opponents just smashing him to the body? Going to try and find some videos of him.

    That is mental, totally insane and probably unhealthy but I don't believe this height until I see him standing next to a confirmed 6'7". Boxrec always list wrong heights.

    That's insane height for a super middle or even any weight for that matter, he's only 19 so I can't imagine him staying at that weight for long. Hard to say whether it would be an advantage or hindrance without watching him, depends how fast his hands are & how good he is at cutting off the ring.

    Although I get the feeling it won't help him too much against good fighters otherwise we would have seen more people of his size & body shape have success by now, he looks very skinny.

    Looks like he should be on a drip.

    Can't be right. Surely he looks like an ironing board at this sort of weight if he's that height.

    Well if I had to box a 6'7 middleweight I would be rubbing my hands, sure he's not a lamp post ! If the height fir the guy is correct that is just mental, no way he would be able to punch hard or take a punch. If you hit him with a hard body shot your fist is likely to come out through his back lol

    Can't see it being an advantage at MW. Just work the body and snap him in half like a twig.

    He's only a kid.
    If he continues boxing he'll definitely fill out to heavyweight.
