  • Tall, rangy southpaws

    Can someone make a list of tall, lanky southpaws? I can't really think of any at the moment.

    Micheal Nunn, Marvin Hagler & Tiger Flowers(not particularly tall but had a long reach and utilised an excellent jab), Antonio Tarver, Chad Dawson.

      Hagler was very short for a middleweight.

        The comments in brackets were for both Hagler and Flowers who were roughly the same height, ofcourse you are right but I say Hagler should still be described as rangy as he could very effectively jab from the outside with his long arms, from the accounts I've read the same can be said of Flowers.

          Hagler wasn't tall, but had very long arms/reach.

          Paul Williams is about 6'3 with a 82 inch wingspan, but doesn't use his reach effectively.

            A fighter by the name of Rodney Jones. Once beat an 18 year old Antonio Margarito. He was extremely tall for his division and fought like you would expect a tall lanky fighter to box.



            Andy Lee is pretty tall and lanky.

              Antonio Tarver
              Chad Dawson

                If not can you name tall, lanky orthodox boxers like Bob Foster, Sandy Saddler, etc...
