    Freddie The Joke Coach Roach is officially out of business. GT-R you got yourself a job as Manny Pacman Pacquiao's new trainer. Congratulations.

        SSM is right, he has a longer reach than Floyd measured form fingertip to fingertip.

        They reason why he has a longer reach than Floyd even though Floyd has longer arms is that shane has broader shoulders.

          floyds skill to adapt,his smart boxing brain and his reactions serve him well.

          Mosleys problem was that he throws his body all into his big shots so he goes into floyd and his shots are always that sharp on the target and comes off balance and stops him getting shots off straight after a big shot.

          where as someone who can land a clean hard shot then make space to land clean combinations of hooks and uppercuts straight after wobbling floyd could possilby get a Knock down.

          Ide rather a close fight with shifts in momentum if floys v manny happened.

          a one sided domination by either guy wouldnt be as interesting to watch.

            Ok, so speaking in boxing terms, who's at the advantage?
            the pundits who decided to use this method to measure reach in boxing did it this way for a reason I would imagine.

                I would think the guy with longer arms has the advantage. I don't know for sure though...

                I think fingertip to fingertip is pretty useless. what does it matter how long the fighters hands are lol. Should be end-of-fist to end-of-fist IMO

                  I can digg it, someone majoring in sports science should do a dissertation on that
                  one more thing: pacquiao measured arm pit to fist 25" against Diaz and 23" against ODLH
                  How would one explain that? User-error? More muscle mass vs less?

                    Like Mayweather said, you think it's easy when you're on the outside.
