Eubanks reach? | BoxingScene Community

Eubanks reach?

From what ive seen they seem like both have 72 inch reach.But from guys that have sparred with both they ALL say GG has longer reach.Does anybody got any other info?And anybody got their arm lengh as that's a better way of telling reach.I mean a guy can just have a wider back with the old way which don't mean s hite.Any links to info would be great thx in advance.Also GG listed as a half inch taller anybody else think he looks taller then that?

Froch is about 6'1 and Groves was a good 1-2 inches shorter. Don't know why Groves has been transformed into a slow plodder in the public's mind. That's just not true. He's not as good as what he was, but he's still and he's still powerful. Anybody who would call him a plodder just has not seen him or dksab.And I agree GG seems to be listed right 5-11 or so but CEJ is only about 5-10

Thats not true. Wingspan makes your reach longer because of how punches are thrown. Not necessarily depends on a guys stance.If he is more square he don't get any added length.And even if your not square you only get the benefit from the neck to end of shoulder as rest of back don't come into play.

Eubank is about 5'10. Groves is 5'11 and maybe a half. Yea that's about what I see.There are listed at 5-11 with GG getting an extra half lol.But really they look about what you posted.GG is an inch or more taller imo.

Boxrec says Eubank is 5ft 11 inches tall with a reach of 72.5 inches. I'm talking about arm reach from shoulder to fist like the way HBO does it.The old way really don't tell you as much one guy could have wide shoulders but t-rex arms.But yea there both listed at 72 abouts.Another thing GG is listed at 5-11and a half and Eubank 5-11 when they faced off GG was at LEAST an inch or better taller.

Yea.. It makes a lot more sense then doing reach, a guy can have broad shoulders and semi short arms and still have a large wingspan. Eventually I'm sure other networks might start doing it Its been close to 5 years I bet since they stared that maybe longer I don't know whats taking them so long.But yea I agree 100%.

Yea cant believe more places did not take up HBO's idea.It really is a better judge esp if the guy fights kinda square. Yea..

I've never seen them use arm length measurements in his fightss and can't find anything online, so I have no idea. He doesn't seem to have the longest arms. Yea cant believe more places did not take up HBO's idea.It really is a better judge esp if the guy fights kinda square.
