[Foggy]

Steve Forbes must have fought and beat much taller fighter?

[Foggy]

Tommy Langford 6ft getting planted head first in the ground by Kurstidze (sp) 5ft6 tall and 5ft 6 wide.

[Glass Joe]

Haye - Value is the obvious one.

Canelo beating Smith.

Mike Tyson faced and beat a number of guys over 5 inches taller than him.

[margaret thatcher]

for some reason, i find it satisfying to see the taller man beaten

[Onetimeonly]

Most hated result ever, but Leonard/tommy

[My Name Is Earl]

Mike Tyson faced and beat a number of guys over 5 inches taller than him.

The standouts for me were Mitch Green & Bonecrusher. I think the first at a similar
size was Marvis Frazier who was still a few inches over him.

[My Name Is Earl]

Obvious one is Baby Jakes fights where most were at least 3 or 4 inches over him. From memory, his win over
a faded former golden boy Michael Carbarjal was about 8 inches (ooh matron) difference.

Dwight Muhammed Qawi against almost everyone he beat.

Arguello was much taller than Pryor.

[Ruthless-RKO]

There was a decent difference between Loma and Masa.

[D4v3]

Canelo gave away 7 inches against Callum Smith

[JamesPhilips]

wasn't one of the early Heavyweight champs only 5ft7? Tommy Burns?

[Cent0089]

Height is overrated in boxing. Yes, it is serious advantage, but some people automatically favor boxer based on his height. Plus, being short can easily turn into advantage in boxing

[Wee Tommy]

Dwight Muhammed Qawi against almost everyone he beat.

What a fighter

[JamesPhilips]

Long arms are more important than height.

[Onetimeonly]

I didn't get the impression he was implying that height is the most important attribute. Just a different thread

That being said, probably not a long list of guys giving up 4+ inches of height that have longer arms.
