Why are boxer's arms longer than regular humans?

[Joeyzagz]

Are their certain exercises they do to add cms to their reach or were they just born that way?

Im about an inch taller than Wlad Klitschko but my wingspan is only 78 compared to his 81 inches. How can I add that extra Inch 1/2 to my range?

...you're 6'8??? Pics or GTFO

Similar to how a baseball pitcher's throwing arm is longer than the other?

[Rassclot]

why are boxers so latino and black?

you should go tan.

Hatton has T-Rex arms, it's all genetics.

It's easy buddy, just have surgery that can extend you're humerus bone, to the exact wingspan you'd like.

There arms aren't longer because they are a boxer. They weren't born wearing gloves.

Longer armed humans happen to have an advantage in boxing, but its not absolute.

Tyson and Marciano had short arms. 71 and 68 inches.

Textbook boxing works best when used by people with "tall builds".

Short arms and Long arms both have their advantages and are usually the deciding factors in the formation of your natural fighting style.

Short armed people are usually tenacious fighters and work a lot on the inside.

Long armed people are sometimes KO artists ala Tommy Hearns or work from the outside.

Paul Williams is just weird because he doesn't use his lanky arms to his advantage.
