I would please like to know how tall is Duane Thomas standing in height, 5'9" or 5'10", also how good was he in his strength and weakness?

I have a better idea, Kovit. You send me your email address and I'll send you my 100 page list of fights available on DVD. You can then purchase fights of these blokes and judge for yourself. Hell, wouldn't it be more interesting to see them and join in our fascinating debates?

I would please like to know how tall is former junior middleweight champion Duane Thomas standing in height. Does he stood at 5'9", 5'10", somewhere between that or somewhere close to 6 feet?

In his dancing shoes or his work boots?

It looks like no one besides me gives a toss about your banal and repetitive questions. And I only answered for a laugh.

Thomas was a good boxer with a decent punch but only lasted at the top for a while... he was another star of the Kronk stable I believe, but not in the same league as Hearns, Mccallum...

I think Thomas' career was messed up by drugs, he was shot dead in a row over drugs I believe. One of his early wins was over Sumbu Kalambay which is a very impressive win as Kalambay went on to beat the likes of Barkley, Dewitt, Sims, Graham and Mccallum.

Stop encouraging this fellow, Pete. He's just taking the piss. He's obviously pretending to be the Andy Kaufman character "Foreign Guy".

I can send you my list, Pete, now you have shown you do have a sense of humour. PM me your email address.

Kovits not taking the piss, he's really interested in this info so lay off him, :x he's actually bringing up some interesting stuff 8) .
You obviously don't remember the 'tapemeasure thread'

that I ran for a while for Kovit (and anyone else!) where I answered all questions pertaining to fighters heights and reach... standing up or sitting down!

.
It was a legendary thread which ran to about 3000 posts before I had a breakdown and had to stop!... ofcourse like Larry Holmes I never got any recognition!... :x :x :x

I remember it; I thought at the time that it was a wind-up and you were playing both parts. Surely there is no one who talks like he does?????

I believe he's from Thailand, hence the 'accent'. I dare say though that his English is better than your Thai!

He also beat future NABF champ David Braxton in an early fight.

Yeah, but what's his game? Why would anyone keep asking about fighters' heights? I still reckon it's a wind up and it's some fat american kid from the 'burbs having a bit of fun.

He's genuinely interested in fighters heights, which isn't strange really, aren't you interested to know if Jack Johnson is 6 feet 1 or 6 feet 2?... or how tall Kid Mccoy was?. Knowing the height of a fighter helps you get a picture of what they were like as a fighter... was Jack Dillon 5 feet 8 or 6 feet 2?... either way makes him quite a different fighter.
Some people train spot others worry about fighters heights and reach!
