Instead of Focusing solely on the height of opponents, which I'm sure you're not, but hypothetically, wouldn't it be best for Fa to fight credible opponents, those with a name; those that will get Fa noticed? And getting Fa noticed would be best achieved with winning in a stunning fashion against credible guys (ie: guys slightly above Latham and on the top 15 fringes- Alex Leapai comes to mind.) It just feels that 'fighting taller guys because the champs are tall' isn't what's needed at this stage; a stage where another jabathon against a top 100 boxer, will undo all that hype he engendered with the ko on the weekend. I think that agresssive style should be his shtick and if it not only gets him more of a following, it may help in the rankings also.
of course you need credibility but you also have cost involved. opponents are all relative to the price and where they travel from. we had 6 fighter turn the fight down in USA all undefeated. Its easier in america but its still hard there. in 13 fights 6 foot 2 is the tallest we have had. 50k for an opponent on smaller cards is just not feasible.
