Panama Al Brown fought at bantam and was 5' 11"

Alexis Arguello was a 5' 10" featherweight

nonito donaire

 

Diego Corrales 5'10 or 5'11 at 130

 

I wish I was a fighter. I'm 5'11" and weigh 125. I eat whatever I want, don't exercise, and can't gain weight to save my life. I could easily get down to 118 or possibly 115 with little effort.

I'd be fighting guys 7" to 9" shorter than me. I have fairly long arms, so i would have a huge reach advantage over those guys. I could just put my hand on their head and they wouldn't be able to touch me. It would be like in the movies where the little guy is swinging at air while the big guy is holding his head.

Of course, I would need to learn to fight. Therein lies the problem.

 

Callum Smith 6'3/6'4 at 168

 

Height don't pay the bills, skills do. YDKSAB

 

Khan is like 5'8 and a half.

The japanese dude rigo fought was tall as hell.

Oscar at sfw was huge.

 

I agree. That's why I said I would need to learn to fight first. Those 5'2" guys at 118 would kick my ass. But if I had the skills and training, that 9" height advantage would be useful. Plus, I'm not like those 7' heavyweights who lack the coordination and speed.

Besides, it's all hypothetical.
