Could have been Nipper Pat Daly (he turned pro at age ten) :lol: or are we talking fully grown men? That being the case I would say Baby Jake 8)

I belive that the shortest ever world champion was flyweight great Pascuel Perez who was 4 feet 10 inches... I think baby Jake was about 5 feet tall?.... Adey was 5 feet tall I think too.

Lewis and Matala were both well under 5', they were tiny. Pretty sure they were around 4'10"

This guy is only 4'7" but it looks like he never actually turned pro:

Matala I think was 4'10" which in technical terms would make him a dwarf as a dwarf or midget is someone over 4'10" in height.

To be a dwarf you have to suffer from dwarfism.

Midgets are just tiny people that are just small proportioned.
