          I think Marlon Starling may have a better ratio.
          5ft 8.5 in and 25" arms i cant find his total reach but i remember him when he was active and it was miles more than his opponents.

            According to boxrec:

            Hagler:
            height: 177 cm (5'9½'')
            Reach: 191 cm (75'')
            Difference: +14 cm

            Liston:
            Height: 184 cm (6'0½'')
            Reach: 213 cm (84'')
            Difference: +29 cm.

                Hagler was well known for having an enormous reach...
                I'm not sure how he measures up to other long'uns..
                I know that Starling, Liston & Langford also had good reaches (for their height)

                  I just want to keep working hard and have Paul improve in every fight,'' ... I remember the Marvin Hagler years of trying to get a big name into the ring ..... in the first round, with the longest going just 1:41 into the round. ...... You know, Paul did that. Paul went through the stages of a mandatory fight. ...

                    Well done with the maths, I had Liston but couldn't be bothered to do the calculations
