    Its called in-fighting. Get used to it because thats the only range you will be able to fight at.

    I dont feel like uploading photos. So, go here and check out the peek-a-boo. http://images.google.com/hosted/life...a%3DN%26um%3D1

    almost completely square, crouched over slightly, hands up covering the chin, and in the pocket. Thats the only way you will be able to fight effectively. Unless you want a ton of losses. Unless you want to punch and hug like hatton. Also, you better have a ton of power to go along with it. Improve your back!

          Toney doesn't have a short reach but his is short compared to most other fighters (at 72 inches), especially at heavyweight.

          I don't think Nicolino Locche had much of a reach advantage, he was a master boxer though. He covered his body with his arms and used the shoulders, bobbing and weaving to avoid punches to the head.

            from your arm pit to the tip of your middle finger.

              Work with what you got, man. Skill can make up for anything. If you focus on negative **** like this, it'll just haunt you.

              Short arms are also a blessing if you apply the correct strategy to them, such as in fighting.

                watch this: 6'6 and 80 inch reach Ribalta against 5'11, 71 inch reach Tyson.

                Tyson is a beast!
