      If you have a short reach for your height than so do I.

      Height: 5'9"
      Reach: 26 ½ Inches.

        Marciano was a very crude fighter early on. His trainer Goldman taught him how to use his disadvantage to his advantage against taller opponents with longer reach.

        Rocky was never a flashy boxer but his somewhat unpolished yet highly effective moves made him a champ, undefeated too.

        27 inches and 3/4ths (70.5 cm)

        5 foot 10 inches tall
        If you measured it right then that's not a short arm length by any means. I believe Floyd Mayweather has an arm length of about 26 inches.

              I just got my brother to measure me, cause it is harder to do it yourself... and he said I am about 5'5" tall with a reach of 22" from the armpit to the end of the fist, not the middle finger.

              Would you consider me to have small reach taking my height into consideration or just about right?

                Hatton is the one who comes to mind.

                      Rocky Marciano is the most famous example. He had the shortest reach of any heavyweight champion.
