Short boxers with long reach

[M4RK]

Just what I was going to say.

Now I'm not sure what the average reach for a man who is 5'8'' should be but Mayweather has 72" and he always looks like he has long arms. It helps him fire that right hand in and keep his jab poking out. At 5'8'', Mayweather fights like someone who is much taller.

Average armspan or reach is equal height.

If you take an average reach in inches and convert it to feet you'll see its usually the same as the height.

Thats what DaVinci's Man in Square and Circle, or Virtruvian Man, shows.

Mayweather has a pretty long reach compared to his height, as does Broner. Paul Williams isn't particularly short but he has really long arms, hes pretty much an albatross lol.

Yes williams a massive reach. I think one of the longest in all boxing even up to hw?

Crisanto Espana.

winky is not 5'11. i've seen him listed as low as 5'9 in tales of the tape.

Yeah 5'9" or 10" sounds about right.



He definitely utilized those long arms with his jab and ear muff defense.

Crisanto Espana.

Woah, just watched his fight against Meldrick Taylor. He's got some Paul Williams arms on him. He must have been a nightmare for the welterweights in the 90s.

I'm not too sure about that, its not something I've looked into to be honest, all I know is boxrec have listed his reach as 79" which is very long even for a guy that's over 6ft tall.
