Crawford's freaky 75 inch reach

[Hype job]

How many fighters at 5'9 have this kind of reach? Seems like he gets serious leverage on punches on the outside that most of his opponents expect to just graze them - massive advantage he has, even Mayweather who was known for his big reach advantage for his height is eclipsed by this abnormal reach. I'm sure this is higher than the average middleweight and even super middleweight reach.

foot speed is key

Madrimov with his 68.5" reach was able to have success against TBud

so did Shawn the former football player

I take reach measurements with a grain of salt. Almost everyone's reach is similar to their height. If not it would be very noticeable if their arms hung down to their knees, or if their back was disproportionately wide. Arm pit to the end of the first is a better way to measure.

Somewhere, Ivan Dychko is looking out of a window with a single tear rolling down his cheek.

As one of the founding members of the Boxingscene forum I want to congratulate you for taking me out of lurk mode with one of the most galactically asinine comments I've ever read.

Arm length is the WORST possible measurement. Boxers don't stand square face to face and throw arm punches like robotic drones. They stand at angles where the measurement across your back fist-to-fist becomes highly relevant. The original poster's point is spot on.

That reach has always been his main physical asset. He was built like Mayweather. Freakishly long reach.
He had a frame like a middleweight, but was fighting guys much smaller.

Callum Smith had a 78 inch reach when he was at 168lbs which quite frankly is near heavyweight measurements but still arguably lost to Ryder and then to Canelo. Obviously reach alone is an advantage but when combined with ability you have a great fighter.

Gee thanks, but I genuinely haven't been on here in that long. No matter what angle you stand at, the length of your arm is the same. As a measurement, it's more indicative how far you can extend your fist from the body. Not to mention it's not measured with fingers extended, which is completely useless. I do agree that angle and head position make a difference tho.

seems to have the exact same reach as rocky fielding so, i forget how he did v canelo
