      A lot of official statistics on fighters seem to be wrong. They have Sultan Ibragimov listed as 6'2" the same as Holyfield, but when he stood beside him, and during the fight, it was obvious that Sultan is two or three inches shorter.

          Many people have had longer reaches than Liston but the reason it's uncomparable is because Liston is 6 feet tall, much shorter than the people who have similar reaches.

          Lewis is 6'5 and has the same 84 inch reach.
          Carnera is 6'6 and has an 85 inch reach.
          Michael Grant is 6'7 and has an 86 inch reach.
          Wladimir Klitschko is 6'6 and has an 82 inch reach.

            Yes, good example. Klitschko totally dwarfed Sultan at their press conference. Some fans really believed that Mike Tyson was 5'11 too.

              his arms are long as hell and his reach is a great advantage, but as for him fighting higher i think 154 is the highest for him! his power seems like it is not good enough to go more than 54, maybe 60, but i think that is stretching it!

                  Especially Lampley.

                  I really do think I have a solid mancrush on Jim Lampley.

                    Golota vs Tyson.

                    Golota was listed 6'4.
                    Tyson 5'11.




                    Holyfield seems taller than Ibragimov, Sultan was listed as being taller.
