    Adrian Diaconu is small for a light heavyweight.

    Boytsov, Ibragimov, Chagaev, and Chambers are small for heavyweights.

        Is it just me or did Pryor ever strike any of you as fairly small for 140 (not freakishly so, but)?

            yeah to both of these.

            Gavin 'the carjacker' Rees is a two inches away from clinically being a dwarf.

            Apparently that's 4'11.

              He was not particularly tall (5'6) nor wide. That has little to do with him being a beast (which he was).

                yeah i think he was pretty small for a lightweight but not freakly.

                Yeah Hatton and Malignaggi are small guys too

                Also Julio Cesar Chavez needs a mention IMO
                Moorer, Toney and Roy as HWs, and Macho Camacho are some other ones...

                    Pryor was really a lightweight who only moved up so he could get the opportunity to fight for a title. He could have made 135 for years.

                    Another small fighter from the past was Jose Napoles. He was a great lightweight for years but could never get a chance. Napoles would look tiny next to guys like Williams and Margarito. When Floyd fans cry about how small he is for his weight class they should look at films of Napoles, one of the great welterweights of all time.

                      Mike Tyson was short, but he wasn't small. He was built like a brick ****house. Tyson was already 200 lbs when he was only 13.
