What an interesting fact. Liston obviously had very long arms but I didn't even realise that.
I believe Liston had a better jab than Wlad but NSB tend to not like that statment  |
Wlad's reach is 81 inches. Liston's reach is 84 inches and some sources list it as 86 inches.
I fully expect someone to try and do some convoluted spinning explaining why pawing with your jab the way Wlad does is superior to actually sticking the jab the way Liston did.....similar to the shoe-size IQ crowd trying to say that being obese makes you a better fighter
