Best lanky tall ass fighter ever???

[MaFu MoFo]

Every now and then, a lanky tall ass guy comes to the boxing world and dominates for a while creating a hype. But sooner or later, age and weight catches up and they suddenly get chop down like a tree and the hype disappears. I belive that Paul Williams got a good chance to change the notion of the bigger they are the harder they fall. His skills don't go along with his size. Who else can you compare him to???


I remember some of those fighter's faces, but not the names...

Hahaha Mafu.i'd Have To Say Hearns.

Sugar Ray Robinson?

The one that Williams is most like is Thomas Hearns, but without the ferocity and one punch KO power. Best Tall, lanky fighter has to be Sugar Ray Robinson.

Still Hearns was a great fighter... I remember some undercards featuring skinny tall lanky ass fighters with great records and then... Forever forgot!!!

i dont know about robinson, for his wieght class at middleweight (not welterweight) he was not freakishly tall nor skinny for that class. i would say without question Sandy Saddler

Robinsons prime was ww and he was a freakishly tall ww

Well Hearns got hurt as he went up in weight too much. Williams should do fine if he stays at WW for awhile. Being 162 in his last fight though, it's going to be tough. Jason Litzau was a lanky featherweight (5'10") with a perfect record that got KO'd, but he seems to be working his way back.

I'd say Hearns. I'm not sure if SRR is considered lanky.
