    How do Tall boxers get into light wieght classes?

    How do tall boxers like thomas hearns,paul williams and diego corrales get into light wieght classes like welter wieght and diego got into featherwieght and hes 6ft! lol.
    Is it because of there lack of muscle? fast metabolism? intense training?

    They're just skinny. Plus, they dehydrate themselves before the weigh in.

      Don't forget Celestino Caballero. Dude is almost 6 feet and he's a super bantamweight.

        Some drain themselves to make weight but some are born with skinny bodies.

              I can see where your coming from but the lad might be killing himself to make weight. At that height i wouldnt be suprized, and if so everything from strenth to stamina will suffer come fight night
