Non Heavyweights fighters who had long reaches?

[New England]

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.

at LW he was a monster in terms of the size of his frame in both height and reach

I agree. That was where he was the most impressive.

Saddler had more I think, that said he was quite tall for a feather and Rocky wasn't the tallest HW. Barry Mcguigan had the same reach as Saddler (70) which always suprised me

[The_Demon]

Paul williams 82 inch reach as a weleterwight,you will hard pressed too find freakier dimensions than that

[SCtrojansbaby]

Reach is you standing with both arms out like this:



and measuring from finger tip to finger tip

Obviously having a wide back makes you reach longer but doesn't doesn't necessarily mean your arms are long. Arm length is measured from finger tip to arm pit.

Sandy Saddler had the same, if not longer reach than Rocky Marciano.

I mentioned this in one of my trivia threads...Actually Hagler would have a good reach advantage too over Rocky.
