It was the very first post too.

In that case I'll throw another name, Hugo Pineda, a 6'1 light welterweight who has recently been a journeyman in the cruiserweight division.

Perhaps we could add Julius Long to the list. I know he is a heavyweight but the guy is 7'1" with a 90" reach, even Valuev doesn't have close to a 90" reach. The last time I saw him was against Sam Peter and he looked like a bean-pole.

Tommy Hearns at 6 foot 1 and Mark Brealand at 6 foot 2 both welterweights come to mind, Who else?

Former Canadian featherweight champion, Tony Pep is 6 feet 1 and a half inches tall (187 cm).. He eventually ended up as a light-welterweight, and once fought Ricky Hatton..

Damn it. Beat me to it. I remember when that guy fought Kostya Tzsyu. Great fight. Pineda was undefeated and so much bigger it was scary. First time Tszyu ever went down from a flash KD in round one.

He went on to fight Trinidad, Johnson at LHW etc. Was very good.

Im surprised nobody has mentioned Bob Foster yet, I know today it aint anything special, but a 6'3 lightheavy was pretty tall for that time.
