maurice blocker from the same era might have been taller, and tito
was pretty tall for a welter.

arguello looked pretty tall for a feather to me. loreto garza was tall at 130.
boxrec only has richar abril as 5'9" but he looks taller in his fights. maybe it's
just his stance. i would put him at 5'10" or taller, but definitely tall for a lightweight.
aligieri looked tall at 140. pavlik looked tall for a middleweight. i always thought
monzon was tall for middle but it was just his stance. he just "fought tall".
mccallum fought tall for a middle as well, but could adapt to so many styles.
andy lee was tall at 154. michael nunn looked tall at middle. i haven't looked
up their boxrec profiles to see what they are on here, but i know at least a dozen
boxrec profiles that have wrong heights.

Always thought Lee Selvy looked big at the weight, always seems to dwarf opponents

That's got to be one of my favourite wins when Fenech got bombed out by Nelson in front of Fenech's home crowd, after the draw the previous fight, brilliant!
nelson had malaria heading into the first fight and never made any excuses for his performance
