GREATS Who Had Phenomenal REACH

[McGoorty]

George Dixon 5 ft 3 and a half inches With 5 ft 9 and a half inch reach (6 inches*) ----- YOU GUYS SHOULD KICK YOURSELVES FOR MISSING THE NEXT GUY---- MUHAMMAD ALI-6 ft 3 With 6 ft 8 reach (5 inches*). ----- George Foreman 6 ft 3 and a half inches with 6 ft 10 reach (6 and a half inch reach*...... that makes him #3. so far). ----- Ken Norton 6 ft 3 with 6 ft 8 reach (5 inches*).

Sam Langford. 169 cm with 183 cm reach.

Already git him down buddy, but you went the centimetre rate..... almost Darcy's reach but not quite...... Gerald McClellan 6 ft With 6 ft 5 reach (5 inches*). So Far It's Liston #1 with 11 and a half inch differential..... Les Darcy #2 with 7 inches and #3 Goeorge Foreman just a half inch behind Darcy in the differential....... Obviously Darcy is much shorter so George is in front in that regard...... but the standard I'm using is fair to all weight divisions. Unless you want to put George in against Les head to head..... lol.

Reach 82″/ 208cm
(20cm = 7.874")
6'2" with a 6' 10'' reach!

Here's an exact replica of Les Darcy, and new EQUAL SECOND.... Noah Brusso, "The Little Giant Of Hanover",.... you know his as TOMMY BURNS, 5 ft 7 with 6 ft 2 reach (7 inches* - equal second).

Of course he's a great.... first boxer known to have cried during a ring bout. Firsts are always impressive.... He could really be a true pioneer.

Paul Williams: 185 cm to 208 cm.

I can't relate to Height in terms of centimetres......... they were still teaching the Imperial system then...... But only Greats can be included, otherwise I can name a local boxer with almost world record reach...... but his record is something like 2 wins and 7 losses by KO.... and you may know a local orang-utan too,....... Otherwise we will go on forever..... can't believe everybody forgot to check ALI's stats.

Paul Williams: 185 cm to 208 cm.

Owen Moran 5 ft 3 with 5 ft 7 reach (4 inches*)...... is Paul Williams a legit great ?

I did think about Ali but I thought Liston & Holmes had longer reaches tbf & was slightly shorter.

In fact Steve Cunningham has a very long reach, i'll need to check the exact stats but I think he's like 6'2/3 & his reach is like 84" or something ridiculous.
