Should tall guys (6'1 or more) stand tall like Foreman or should they crouch for better leverage?(more back into the jab).
What are the pros and cons for a tall guy to crouch like Marciano?
should they do both?
Learn footwork like Tommy Hearns. He was tall and used his height and reach, but wasn't a stationary target. If you're fighting a taller opponent ideally you want to make yourself a smaller target or a moving target.
BUt Hearns was always taller
What if I'm tall but fight a giant like Klitchko... Would I then need to do it?

When they crouch they basically give up that physical advantage.
If you look at the way Wladimir Klitschko fought his shorter opponents, that was perfect imo. He used his height and longer reach to not only outpoint his opponents every round, but to eventually stop them.
No, if you're tall make yourself taller and use your reach. If you're short, make yourself shorter and get under and inside your opponent's range.

no.. and i dont know why some does it... use your height to your advantage!
Well it does improve power in the jab ..and the head is off the center line.
who comes to mind that does it?
