    Monzon fought tall better than anyone I can think of, despite the fact that he wasn't as disproportionate height-wise in comparison to his division as many others mentioned.

    Monzon was calm cool assasin who used range like no one I've ever seen. What a dreamfight it would of been for a Robinson-Monzon fight to take place.

    Lennox Lewis for me. After he joined up with Steward he really mastered using his height and jab to his advantage - it was very, very difficult to get him out of his rhythm or to make him fight your fight.

    Really!

    Stereotypical tall fighters.

    Meaning tall for their division and reed thin. Not giants with big frames in heavyweight division like lewis, who is 6'5" but not exactly thin or Valuev.

    There are not that many of them who are very good.

    Tommy Hearns and Arguello were the best at "fighting tall".

    Paul Williams is my favorite fighter but I wouldn't ever say he takes advantage of his height. He'd rather come in and trade.
