Pone Kingpetch (Thailand) at just over 5' 6'' was acknowledged as the tallest flyweight ever to win the World Title. Also in the 60s in the famous amateur international when England whitewashed USA 10-0 at Wembley, the late Alan Rudkin stopped Sherman Washington who was all of 5' 10''./b]

Paul Gonzalez was 5'9. Joey Olivo was the same, and a Jr. Flyweight no less. Both won some portion of each title.

Hall of Fame bantamweight Panama Al Brown started his career with somewhere around 25 fights as a Flyweight. Beat a couple decent opponents at that weight as well. At 5-11 he'd be one of the tallest Flyweights of alltime.
