Most fighters do it all the time. But the so called TBE... avoids it.
    OK. How many guys did Tommy Hearns fight who was taller than him? No risks, take him out of the HOF.

    Your 1st 4 posts have been absolute shit!!

          That 5'9 listed height is very kind to Alvarez. No way is he 5'9/

            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,
            Guerrero too, right? Sosa was also taller.

              Diego corrales was significantly taller, pretty sure oscar had a few inches in him as well. Boxer's height is always exaggerated to sound better, Floyd isn't 5'8. My girl is taller than cotto and she's a little over 5'7. I'd say Floyd is probably 5'6 or so.

                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.
                who around his weight is tall then him just beacuse you are taller then someone dont make you a better fighter.

                  you're just feeding the vicarious flomo persecution complex maxi, "see, they all out to get Munny Mai, hatin' on him", they'll soon be pulling up past boxers who didn't fight many taller opponents
