Silkov, I would like to know how good is Richie Kates who fought Victor Galindez twice for his Light Heavyweight Title? Can you please also find out how tall is Richie Kates in height?

Kate's height varied as his career progressed. He used to take a lot of shots to the top of his head, and as a result became much shorter.

He turned pro at 6ft 2", but by the time he retired he was only an surprising 5ft 3".

Is Richie Kates was tall as Victor Galindez in height, that would be an easy answer if you the footage fight between them.

Kates was about 6 foot 1 or 2.... he was markedly taller than Victor... fought two great fights with Galindez and a absolute classic with Saad Muhammad... Kates was a very good boxer with a excellent punch... he was unlucky to be around when the Light-heavies were at there strongest ever regarding talent and depth of competition.

Thanks Silkov for telling me the answer I was making sure that Richie Kates is that tall. Well I have the next question for you, how good is Piet Crous the ex-WBA Cruiserweight Champion and how tall is Crous in height? Can you please help me and find out?
