      5 feet 8 is 5 inches shorter than 6'1, have their been any fighters 5'8 who had an 79' inch reach? Or 5'4 with a 75 inch reach? I don't know.

      Please note, it has been stated Liston was 6'0.5 in height, ie 6 foot and half an inch, but i'm going with 6'1 to keep this easy.
      no I can't think of any atg with reach as crazy as Liston's
