You may laugh but he's one of the bravest fighters to ever put on tiny gloves, in fact he's fighting a cow on thursday.

I don't know for sure but as far as World Champions go South Africas Baby Jake Matlala must have been one of the shortest and smallest.

He was a good fighter as well.
In the UK there was also Ady Lewis.

Since you said it in a generic way I think we need to look to the female side of boxing to find the definitive answer here.

Why don't you do your own homework, schoolboy, and look it up for yourself under the boxing archives? Start with Flyweights or Strawweights and go down from there.

Boxing had a Paper Weight division. It was below straw weight, I beleive 100 pounds was the limit. The paper weight division has been defunct for quite some time. The smallest professional boxers competed here.
By the way, where did the terminology for the names of these weigh division originate.
Why a feather weight is called a feather weight?
