Wanted to see yours opinion on staying tall or also heard of stay eye level etc etc. I'm a tall guy myself and sometimes confused on whether to stay tall or as a coach told me once stay eye level. Anyone ever hear of this? Pros,cons? Thanks

In my opinion if you have some natural advantages, like being taller, longer reach etc. Its good to base your style around that. However there are plenty of guys who are tall that don't fight that way that do really well. Best if you can use both as sort of a Plan A Plan B.
I'm not really a big fan of basing things around a simple concept of "staying eye level" because the size of your opponent will always be different. You could be leaning over and falling in way to much against a short stalky guy. Or feel too upright against a guy as tall or taller than you.
However if this is a coach you trust, who has known you for awhile, always go with his advice versus that of someone on the interwebs.
