I would like to know how good was former Zambian Light Heavyweight Contender Lottie Mwale who fought Matthew Saad Muhammad in 1980? Also how tall was Mwale in height? Was he impressive? Can anybody find and help me out.

The lanky Zambian light heavy with a big right hand, is shorter than ever.
He lost his monthly WBC pension of $300 since a British boxing magazine reported his death.
Mwale, who is very much alive and lives in Lusaka, has reported the matter to the Zambian boxing authorities.
Obviously, he's broke and short of any incomes, like so many others involved with Kings.
Now, how short was Pone Kingpetch and was he any good?
:x

Yes, Boxing News reported Mwale's death inadvertently. He is HIV-positive.

Standing up or lying down?

Standing up please

In that case, you'd better ask Mrs. Mwale.

Lotties six foot. Tremendous fighter.

If you want to know more about Lottie, read the late George Francis autobiography.

Kovit is going to be delirious about this one.

Eric the Viking · Post by **Eric the Viking** » 11 Mar 2004, 16:01

But my orthopedist says that adults can shrink up to a full inch during the course of a day, due to gravity slowly compressing their spinal discs. When they lie down for the night, the pressure is off and the discs expand again.

So saying Lottie was "six foot" means he could have been 6'1" when he got up in the morning and then 6' when he went to bed in the evening, or 6' in the morning and 5'11" in the evening. Or maybe he was somewhere between 5'11.5" and 6'0.5" and only hit 6' at some point around mid-day. Also, people get shorter as they age, so we'd need to know how old he was when the measurement was made. I think we need many more details about this.

I cannot dispute that eric, this eagerness to know Lottie's height (when he's standing) made me hastily jump to conclusions. So I agree, further investigation is required at this time. I sincerely apologize, kovit.

I don't think you did anything you need to apologize for, Broncano. It's understandable that you, like most of the rest of us, want to put this terrible uncertainty behind you, and get on with the rest of your life. But one simply can't afford to act in haste when there's this much at stake.

Thanks Knockout Artist for telling me an answer that I waited for a week for a response. Well the rest of you guys I'm never offended you if you are. I was looking for the height of any fighters who they don't put their height on their records at all and I wanted to know their height if they were impressive when standing in a ring. So I'll ask you with another fighters whose height that wasn't listed in their records.

I can't wait for the next one and I think that neither can most of my fellow editors or everyone else for that matter. The suspense is killing me. Who's next? I want to know right now.

OK then, here you go - continuing with the light-heavies of the late 70s and early 80s:

I would like to know how good was former Argentinian Light Heavyweight Champion Victor Galindez who fought Eddie Mustafa Muhammad in 1977? Also how tall was Galindez in height? Was he impressive? Can anybody find and help me out.

Silkov can you help me out please?

Thanks, I'm sure the editors will aprreciate it. But speaking for myself, I was kinda hoping to hear the answer from Silkov.

Galindez was bad!
He beat Harald Skog, 6'4, though he was asked not to do.

I heard that the person who asked him (5'11") didn't do so very nicely.

Victor Galindez was 5 feet 10

not 5 feet 9!..

.. sorry to be pedantic!...

But let's get back to Lottie - Kovit also started a thread about him in the Record Queries forum, and there's some very interesting information in the replies, some of which even have pictures!!! Check it out:
