    Whats your reach?

    Got curious what mine was watching the fights tonight. Im 6'2 and change. I got 74 inches with a tape measure. That, like my pecker seems a little short for my height.

    74 is standard for a 6 ft 2

    Average reach is equal to height in inches

    long arms or shoulders means reach greater than height in inches

      That tracks. It just seems like Ive seen fighters my height with alot more reach but that like height is probably exaggerated.

      My dad though had freakishly long arms. He might have been 5'9 and he could put his finger tips on my chest and I couldnt get close to touching him.

        Black fighters? Blacks tend to be longer limbed

          Yea, most of them. I looked up Tommy Morrison as well and he was listed at 76 and I know his height was fudged. I met him in 94 or 95 and he might have been 6'.

          Hasim Rhaman is listed at 82 inches if i remember right.
