        yea

        seems like a hw with reach equalb to their height is shorter than most hws

        tyson had equal reach to his height, which really shos how short his arms were cause his shoulders were as wideas shouldrs can git.

              There are so few because reach is very important in boxing.

              I believe tyson's was 72 inches which is very small for a HW then again he was also very short for a HW too.

                  You czn know completely "what you're doing", but all other things being equal, a long reach beats a short reach.

                    Tyson's short frame, short limbs and small joints in addition to having a pure mesomorph body type that was evident in his early teens made his 16-17 inch arms look absurdly full and swollen at times and gave an illusion of being much bigger. There was so little to fill out.
