Hearns at welter. He was scary.

Tony Pep was commonwealth super feather champ , he stood 6 feet 1.5inches ( at 9stone 4 lbs )..
That has to be one of the tallest ever p4p for a championship fighter.

Not only would Tommy be able to out box you he could also knock you out cold when he wanted. Frightening.

Maurice Blocker was tall for the weight and a bit shorter was Mark Breland. Sam Eggereton is our current version of them.

Paul Williams was a weird WW. He didn't seem to know how to use his height though. Could have been impossible were he to use distance and use the jab more. Seemed to just want to fight and it was his undoing in some of those close fights. I hope he is doing okay. A fun fighter.

Definite specimen and was a buzz saw oddly enough on the inside. Only time I remember him coming close to fighting his height was Margarito ? and looked good. After his accident his personality still shines, humble and humor intact.

Good call Tito and has to be the modern era poster boy. Hearns could outbox a master boxer like Benitez or walk through a Duran or Cuevas. Perfect timing today with the anniversary of a legendary war. He had no choice with a possessed Hagler.
