    Height alone? Not much. Although 'reach' is a legitimate advantage in boxing.

    But advantages in BOTH height and weight? That is significant. It means you are the clearly bigger man.

      Fact of the matter is; de la Hoya will go down as an ATG, maybe even the greatest if he beats Mayweather.

        It is not. In fact, Chávez never tested the canvas against DLH. The first fight was a stoppage due to cuts and the second one Chávez refused to get up from his corner.

          Doesn't Floyd have the same arm length as Wladimir Klitschko? And significantly longer than DLH? Isn't DLH clearly faster at WW?
