    Montell Griffin 5'7 Light heavyweight
    James Toney and Byrd at Heavy


    When Derrick Gainer was still a Featherweight Beltholder he said "Manny Pacquiao is so small at featherweight"

    so its almost unthinkable that he's gonna be figting at 135 in his next bout.

      juan diaz imo is small for his division.
      i think he should lose some fat and go down one weight class.
      calderon is small too.

        Dingaan Thobela went from fighting Orzubek Nazarov to fighting Mikkel Kessler.

          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.
          Napoles fought among people who could make 147 on fight night...

                Holly hell! Did not know that at all! You're always spreading the knowledge TheManchine! One of the best posters on the site!!

                What an awkward fight that must have been! One guy, nearly a foot taller than the other.

                      Why does everyone keep mentioning Floyd? He is muscular and taller than Hatton, Zab, Baldomir and Cotto!
