Biggest size advantage at a non-Heavyweight weight class?

[TitoFan]

I was a huge Tommy Hearns fan, but I sometimes thought it was a bit unfair watching him come in at 147 with that huge height and reach advantage. Most shorter fighters had absolutely no chance against him. Although the weight draining did take it's effect on some fights, most notably the first Leonard fight (one of my favs of all time), when Leonard fought through some heavy eye damage and began cracking those skinny ribs and finally pounding Hearns into submission in the 14th round.

He had almost 5 inches of height on Hagler.
I think height can be a disadvantage if fighters know how to handle it.

Emmanual Steward said that the reason Hearn's legs went to jello late in that fight was because his hood friends had rubbed his legs down. The day of the matchup because he was complaining of leg cramps. Manny was livid when he heard this, and told his possy not to ever intervene with his training! That is just one of those fights I can never get out of my head, as far as how to fight "smart"

Remember Benn v Eubanks 2 with the weigh in being a day early giving Eubank the advantage of coming in at light/heavy cruiserweight against Nigel.
