klitschko and mayweather have same arm length

It's the reason that Hatton, with his overly stubby arms had no chance of jabbing his way in.

Arm length had nothing to do with Hatton's non-success, he hardly ever jabs anyway.

obviously, yet his short hands come in handy on the inside, yet he got destroyed there, hmmm.

He hardly ever jabs because he doesn't have long enough arms for it - a ******ed person could figure that out.

I think Shoulder width and that comes into the total reach though.

Is this topic even true? :-S

It helped make him a sitting duck when they were fighting from a distance. When you have the skills to compliment that reach it makes you very tough to beat.

No kidding, which is why he fights on the inside, something he was not allowed to do in their fight.

omfg. What does this mean, does floyd have a alien body,
is this the reason so many straight rights land.

A lot of Black people have proportionately longer arms and legs than White and Asian people. It doesn't mean Mayweather is a freak or anything, but it does give him an advantage as a boxer.

He hardly ever jabs because that isnt his style. Quit making excuses, he hasnt been on the short end every time to that degree in arm length. Hatton didnt win because Floyd was and is the better and smarter fighter, end of story.
