Julius Long has a 90" reach:

But he's not human.

tell your cousins to fight valuev.

i want to see wlad and vitali ko valuev.

[The Hammer]

well......caveman is 7 foot 1 and i'm pretty sure he drags his knuckles......

Valuev's reach is just 85", shorter than Grant.

Black people usually have proportionately longer arms and legs, which helps in sports like running, basketball and boxing.

I loved all Michael Grant's fights and even though he got stopped in all of them, he's more entertaining than both K bros. He couldn't even hold Chambers' jockstrap though.

He did beat Savarese, Izon, Obed Sullivan, Ahmed Abdin...some solid contenders back then. And that behemoth Jorge Luis Gonzalez.

No, Because Michael Grant has difficulty in taking a punch.

And since that's the case, Vitali or Wladimir would smooth knock him out.

i voted yes just because this poll is misleading.

grant can't beat either K-sister, but that doesn't mean that the K-sisters don't need their height advantage to win. yes, they have some skill too, but its their height and reach advantage that is too much to overcome.

Then why isn't Julius Long's height (7'1") and reach (90") advantage too much to overcome?

Tony Thompson (29" arms, 81.5" reach) and Hasim Rahman (29" arms, 82" reach) have longer arms and a greater reach than Wladimir (26" arms, 81" reach).

well, both Klitscho brothers use their size to their advantage, no doubt. but thats very obviously not all they have. they have to be the most skilled 'big men' of all time...alongside Lennox Lewis, of course.

a key part to success to boxing is using your physical attributes to your advantage, and the Klitschko's certainly do that. I never understood why people faulted them for that.
being short and stocky can easily work to your advantage if you use it correctly, although admittedly most short fighters dont use it right.

size isn't important, you just need to be big enough.
