When was the last time Mayweather fought someone taller than him?

[-Antonio-]

HBO had them both at 5'8"



The only pics I found shows Castillo may be a little taller than Floyd

These boxing heights are always funny to me. For the longest time HBO added an inch. Showtime finally started putting the correct height.

My guess...actually I'm pretty positive Manny, Bradley, Hatton are all closer to 5'5, Cotto is 5'6 and Floyd is 5'7. Canelo is probably 5'8.

There's a youtube video of Floyd playing basketball with 5'9 Isaiah Thomas and Floyd looks at least 2 inches shorter if not more.

I didn't read all this garbage but Midget Manny should've never got passed 135lbs. When he fought Margs it was like fighting a giant. Floyd would've never took that risk.

Yeah Floyd opted to just kick Manny azz instead

Canelo is 0.3 inch (1cm) taller than him. Same Ortiz. Does it count? I mean... you think of Pacquiao.. he has fought people that was three inches or more taller than him. You think of Matthysse, Broner, Martinez... they all fought people a few inches taller than him.

Why is mayweather never taking that risk and avoiding fighters that are taller than him by a few inches? he only agreed to fight dela hoya but he was wasted already and about to retire.

I suggest that you watch Mayweather vs Corrales.

I'm thinking of De la Hoya back in 2007?

I see other fighters, and they always fight people taller than them from time to time. But Mayweather seems to avoid anyone that could be taller than him. He always fights people smaller than him and with less reach than him.

Am I correct? No one talks about this but this is important too. The guy never takes a risk.

Are you obessed with Floyd???

Poor _Maxi is in pain. In slow motion pain, is the worst pain ever....

Slow motion pain is the worst ever.. Chronic and very long lasting!

My advice is........ Let it go..... Let it go.....(que music). Let it go...

Que new song( We are the world). .... So let's start living... Make a better day.... Etc...

With the exception of Paul Williams, what significantly taller fighters could Mayweather feasibly have fought?

It was canelo but only by an inch

are you blind or what?Floyd even taller than Alvarez

[Jimmy 23]

Yeah Floyd defintely ain't 5'8.

Guererro' supposedly 5'8 and Castillo is supposedly 5'7 and both looked taller than Floyd.

nope, he is 5'8 like Ghost

And Castillo wasn't taller.Even half inch shorter

[Tails]

Floyd is taller than Canelo by a little bit. Canelo is really only like 5'7" not sure why he is listed as 5'9". Anyone who has seen Canelo in person knows that he's not at all tall but is very heavy set for his height. That said Ortiz is probably the tallest opponent Floyd has fought these last few years.

With the exception of Paul Williams, what significantly taller fighters could Mayweather feasibly have fought?

Plenty at 154. Margarito at 147.

Did you read my quotes? He said that Floyd never really wanted the fight and basically ducked Winky!

I guess you do not know Floyd and his team. This is not the first time. Arum said if its not Winkly then we will try against Margarito. Floyd didn't want Margarito either on several occasions. Arum wanted that!

Same goes with Castillo II (rematch). Arum wanted it in LA but Floyd wanted it in Vegas. Where did it happen? Vegas.


Here are comments made by Floyd NOT ARUM after they had agreed to 50/50 and Winky had to weigh the morning of the bout rather than the day before and Wright would not be allowed to gain more than eight pounds between weighing in and the start of the contest. :

"I like Winky but if he's even talking about fighting me at 50-50 the fight ain't never going to happen." - Floyd Mayweather


Question to Floyd: FLOYD IS A WINKY FIGHT POSSIBLE FOR THE RIGHT PRICE?

"Anything is always possible as long as he comes off of that ridiculous demand of parity." - Floyd Mayweather

So looking at the above quotes, why would Bob Arum be negotiating the fight for 50 - 50??? Have you thought about that? Floyd called out Winky. And I posted the quote where Shaw said he believe Arum was behind the whole thing. What was Arum up to? I don't know how you still believe anything involving Arum comes out on the straight and narrow.
