Non Heavyweights fighters who had long reaches?

[JAB5239]

Hagler had broad shoulders and a wide back his arms actually weren't very long though. Its similar to Oscar De La Hoya another guy with a wide back and broad shoulders

A long reach is a long reach. You can build up your back and shoulders, but it isn't going to make the distance from the tips of you fingers on your left hand any longer to the tips of the fingers on your right.

Barbados Joe Walcott 5'1" 1/2 with a 65" reach.
Sam Langford 5'6" 1/2 with a 72" reach.

Pone Kingpetch had a pretty damn long reach, unsure of the exact dimensions though. He was the tallest ever Flyweight champ too at 5'6.

to be fair i think he's talking about bones and not muscles when referring to the width of the backs of hagler and de la hoya

Delahoya doesn't really have an unusual reach for his height.


FMJ is almost 3 inches shorter than Delahoya and his reach is just an inch shorter at 72.

Tim Austin 5'5 with a 71" reach
Floyd Mayweather 5'8 with a 72" reach
M A Barrera 5'6 with a 70" reach
