Lanky fighter working the range.

[G U E R R I E R]

I want to watch a fight with a tall fighter working his range beautifully.

I watched some thomas hearns, I know P.Williams also but most of the time he's not using his range..

Do you have any good fights to suggest me?

No heavy weights please..


Just fighters with a big reach/height advantage working the jab and using the range.

I know it's not pro boxing but Felix Savon was good at this.

Alexis Arguello vs Leonel Hernandez (on Youtube)

ANY Carlos Monzon fight but specifically vs Rodrigo Valdez I & II, Jose Napoles, Emile Gri

Zarate.

Sometimes those tall guys end their range end up being a style problem for a particular opponent--like say Vince Philips/Kostya Tszyu.

Bob Foster at Light heavy and Vernon Forrest were very good at this.

Watch Carlos Monzon for the definitive example of a tall fighter controlling the range. He never got ko'ed or lost the range like so many other tall guys did..

Bob Foster and Carlos Monzon are my favorite lanky fighters...

Recently Ali Funeka did it well against Joan Guzman.

Most of the notable names of the past have already been mentioned. Bob Foster, Carlos Monzon, Thomas Hearns.

Ray Robinson and Kid Gavilan didn't have big height/reach advantages but at 5'11 were taller than most opponents and used it to their advantage.

Bob Foster.
Thomas Hearns
Milton Mccroy
Alexis Arguello
Carlos Monzon was an expert at range.
Michael Nunn early in his career.

Mike Mccallum and Michael Spinks as well.

A real tall middleweight ,using a good jab,working from a distance was Joe Archer, from the 1950s...Good example to see because,his blows couldn,t break an egg,but relied on his tall frame ,and great boxing ability...You can see him on youtube...

ike williams at 5-9 3/4 was tall for a lightweight and could really whip his punches in

Alan Minter vs Vito Antuofermo II..then watch the first fight and see how it differs when Vito closed the range a little better.
