biggest height different between fighters?

CorkMan · 20-07-2011 12:51AM #1

What are some of the biggest height you have seen. From the heavyweight division I know of Tyson-Lewis and Tua-Lewis, Lewis was 6'5 while Tyson and Tua were 5'11 and 5'10 respectively. 6 and 7 inches difference. Of course Haye and Valuev is probably the biggest for a long time, 11 inches. (6'3 to 7'2)

Does anyone know more from other divisions?

W.T.F.

Was that Ulster V Munster than I could make out on monitors.

I'd say about 5-6 inches between Floyd and Corralles at 130 lbs

Jack Dempsey vs Jess Willard is another one, six inches odd there.

5 knockdowns maybe, 5-6 inches.......no. More like 2-3.

Tshifihiwa Munyai always seemed to tower over his opponents at Bantamweight. Boxrec only list him as 5'9, but I'm sure Sky listed him an inch or two above that and it certainly seems he's closer to at least 5'10 alright. He really did tower over Martin Power and Lee Haskins. Two of his opponents recentish opponents are listed as 5'3 on boxrec, which is a 6 inch difference at Bantamweight/Super-Bantamweight or more, that's insane !.

Using heights from boxrec:
Nikolay Valuev 7'0
Marcelo Fabian Dominguez 5'9 1/2

14 1/2 inch height difference, that'll likely be hard to beat.

Lennox Lewis-David Tua would have been maybe 7 inches.

Edit: I see this one has been mentioned already.

celestino cabalerro is 6 foot tall but fights at super bantam at times. surely a lot of his opponents were a lot shorter

At the lower end of things, Davey MacAuley was 5'7" and he fought Baby Jake Matlala who was 4'10.5" . 8 and a half inches at flyweight is a huge difference.

Tyson Fury 6'9" - Matthew 5'11"

I just cannot get my head around that video. What was going on?

Tell you, that little guy deserves serious credit for getting in there.

It's just so so bizarre.
