Who is the greatest Tall fighter?

Chinny, thanks for the Foster shout out, he's my man. But to the TS, please never mention Valuev and Arguello in the same sentence, goddammit.

 

Anyone want to throw Panama Al Brown in there?

And while Williams and Caballero are tall fighters, neither one really fights 'tall' in the sense discussed in the original post.

 

vernon forrest was around 6 feet at welter and at his best used height an legth very effectivly prior to shoulder problems used very effective jab

 

I would say Minut Bol.

Did you see the way he dominated the Fridge with his jab?

 

No ones mentioned Ali yet? Not super tall for a HW (I've heard from 6'3'' to 6'5'') but used height well and fought tall. Anyone who's seen him lean backwards to slip a jab and then lean back into a right hand can attest to that.

 

I think that Vitali.

 

Vitali.....

 

Lennox Lewis for Heavyweight.
Bob Foster for Light heavyweight.

 

Williams at 147

 

Valuev. just kidding valuev sucks ass.
lennox Lewis would be my pick. he uses that reach and size just right.

 

Ali fought tall and I think he was tall for his day.

 

Yeah, 6'4" was pretty big back then.

Funny he won gold at LHW. Wonder if he could have took it HW.

 

1. Walker Smith
2. Lennox Lewis
3. Bob Foster
4. Alexis Arguello
5. Larry Holmes

 

Eusebio Pedroza was a tall featherweight and one of the best.

 

Id say Vitali is a master at using his size cause he doesnt look to skillful at other things.
