A recent one is that arm length is a more important measurement than reach.

Why or why isnt it??

Why or why isnt it??

Reach is more important to know because a fighter's shoulder width contributes to how far he can reach his opponent from. Going just be arm-length doesn't consider this and is therefore an inferior measurement.

For example:

------ vs ----

The outer two dashes on each side are the fighters' arms and the others are their shoulders/traps. Who can reach the other from further away?

Also, get in a boxing stance and stick an arm straight out like you're throwing a jab. Now keep it straight, but bring your shoulders in. Your arm will be the same length, but you will be unable to reach as far.
