    Tall fighters to watch?

    I'm 6'0 and 145lbs but I'm still carrying a bit of fat. If I were to lean down I could hit 135lbs easy. Who are some good tall fighters that use their reach effectively at the lower weight classes, I know Thomas Hearns but who else?

            Seen. I dunno if you compete but you most likely would be a serious problem at that height for people if you manage to cut down to 135 lbs

                132lbs is the amateur Lightweight limit...

                Watch jabbers..that's going to be and has to be your best attribute..it's got to be like a piston, quick and stiff..
