Will Floyd 5 inch reach advantage play a role vs Pacman??

[King Jaffe Joffer]

Interesting indeed. Will it play a role?? Will Floyd be able to capitalize with his 5 inch reach???

[PhonzoXD]

thats it? just a 5 inch reach?

[johnm is...]

Of course Floyd's reach advantage will play a role in the fight. A fighter as smart as Floyd is obviously going to find a way to use every advantage he has.

13 cm = 5 in

damn, it is 5 inches! but that is total wingspan, not from armpit to the end of the fist.

It'll be the winning element. Pacquiao has fought 3 guys successively who haven't been able to use their reach against him (and Hatton has zero reach, anyway).

It's clichéd by now, but by rights Mayweather should be able to potshot him all night long.
