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

[The Big Dunn]

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.

Diego Corrales was about 3 inches taller than Floyd. How did that fight go?

Corrales, Tony Pep, Genaro Hernandez, NDou...just from the top of my head, as well as most of the names mentioned in this thread.

So, he has fought a few people 1cm taller than him. Wow, what a risk. Think of Martinez fighting Chavez Jr (3 inches taller) or Paul Williams (3 inches taller), or Kelly Pavlik (4 inches taller)... that is taking risks and not cherry picking. Most fighters do it all the time. But the so called TBE... avoids it.

no one taller worth fighting

[Mr Randy Watson]

forget fighting the champions in your division. You gotta go for the tall guys that fight in the small weight classes because there are so many guys out there that will satisfy your height requirement and also weigh in at 147, and also be the best available fighter.

Corrales was 2 inches taller than Floyd... and that was more than 14 years ago!! read the title of the topic. You're basically saying I'm right.

You asked who has he fought who's taller. Both Canelo and Ortiz are taller and by more than you're saying aswell.

He fought Corrales who was 5'11. Hernandez was 5'11. N'Dou was 5'11.

Castillo was taller, Mosley was taller, Oscar was taller.
