Someone on here will correct me but Kris ‘Badger’ Hughes was tall for a super-bantam?

Stipe Drvis was a 6'5 LHW. Might be some taller, but he was a long lanky bastard.

Williams was more like 6'3.jlh wrote: ↑24 Aug 2020, 02:26 Tommy O (cant spell his last name) South African won an IBO at Super Middleweight and pretty sure he is taller than Callum Smith.
Couple of obvious ones who both titles in their division.
Paul William's at 6 foot 1 at 147 pounds.
Nontino Donaire at 5 foot 7 at 112 pounds.
Plus that crazy Georgian; Khurtzide won a title (could have been interim) at middleweight. He was seriously short for the weight at about 5 foot 5.

He's out and back in the gym.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑24 Aug 2020, 04:12 The little middleweight Mike Tyson who came over and did Langford. He was pretty small for the weight. He's doing time for being in the russian mafia I heard? The guy was small but he was one of the most intimidating looking blokes I've ever seen. I would have liked to have seen him brought over to fight Eubank.

I knew a guy when I in school who later became an amateur boxer and he was a light heavyweight but stood 6'11", Kyle Hull was his name. Far as I know he never did turn professional, and just won regional tournaments.

I remember there was a 5'11 or maybe 5'10 Bantamweight a while back.
It's hard to imagine how that's possible.
That's basically my height, and I weighed 145 pounds even when I was extremely ill and on the verge of death

Also I believe Bute was 6'4" @ SMW ? And some Calzaghe/Reid victim was 6'5" Mario Veidt maybe ? 
I'm sure we can do better than 6'3" Mundo @ SMW...

That don't sound right. It seemed it was something like Zolani Tete?
I'm seeing he was 5'9, but that's still freakishly tall to be THAT damn thin.

He is enormous, suspect he’ll go up as he was heavier as an amateur
