or nicholas walters, but he just moved to 130, so hes no longer that big for the weight class XD

There was an era which just passed which featured 3 of the biggest welterweights I've ever seen in my life. Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito and Joshua Clottey were huge for 147 and they all stuck around long enough in the class to make an impact. Juan Urango was another one around that same weight as well.

Currently I'd say Jermall Charlo is a pretty big 154 and I could well see him mixing with 168's before his career is over.

Well, I'd disagree with 'borderline big'. I think there's a difference between 'tall' and 'big'. Margarito was a big welterweight imo and Clottey was just a big piece of muscle who could sweat down to 147.

In terms of height, Donaire was always tall for the lower divisions, although he was never too muscular.

In terms of muscle and width, Clottey was a slab of muscle at 147 and Bradley at 140. Both guys are built like tanks.

Spence and Brook are massive welters, both will be at 154 soon

fair enough.
any tall ppl for theri weight classes then? haha

If you just mean tall then we can include Celestino Caballero who was nearly six feet tall and spent most of his career as a featherweight. He was literally all arms and legs.
