Paul Williams reach is greater than Wladimir Klitschko's

[The Hammer]

Something that seems unusual to me, is the proportions of Paul Williams, welterweight. His reach is 82".

Normally welterweight are not especially big men. But Williams has an arm lenght even greater than Wladimir Klitschko, who has a reach of 81". David Tua has a reach of 71" - about a foot less than Williams!

Shouldn't Williams gain a few pounds and fight in a bigger weight division?

thats cus his shoulders are wide, but his arms are short........it helps him more to be tall...

thats because he isnt a natural welterweight. He's fighting in a division he doesnt belong but **** it, if he can make the weight, he can make the fights.

This is true... his arm length is only 26 inches, which is 1 less than Winky Wright and the same as Floyd Mayweather...

I guarantee you Klitschko's arms are a lot longer.

That means nothing.
Do you think Paul can beat Wlad in a jabbing contest?

So now Williams is better than Wlad because Wlad is white. Your sick in the head you racist bastard.

Williams is a welterweight freak like Tommy Hearns but nothing compares to Liston's 84 inch reach.

The quality is bad but you can see what I mean.

Primo Carnera had an 85 inch reach.

Arm length and reach are the most deceptive stats in boxing. Believe what you actually see rather than what you read.
