Lets say you are hypothetically equally adept at any of the above options, which choice would you like?

[bojangles1987]

Reach. The ability to dictate distance goes undermentioned when talking fights, and a guy with long reach will have a huge advantage in the battle to dictate distance.

Height and weight can easily be circumvented.

It just depends also on the opponent,some know how to neutralize reach..and height really means nothing...weight can be a good or bad thing depending because it was also lead to stamina issues

quit trying to be a smartass, trying to impress ppl on the net to gain respect coz u can't get it in life.

hypothetically, your opponent is equally bad at dealing with all 3 disadvantages, and hypothetically u are able to maximize your advantage with each option.

so pick.

my choice: reach.
not weight, because there are weightclasses, and u can only gain so much from rehydrating a **** ton.
height: tall/short have their advantages/disadvantages, punching up/down etc.
reach: its just so delicious to be able to hit your opponents when they cant hit back

there's a reason there are weight classes but not height or reach classes...

[f15bone]

Gotta be reach....

Unless ur a heavyweight can't see where weight would factor in, & a taller fighters advantage can be circumvented by an opponent with superior reach...so reach would have to be the most important of the three assets...

weight, especially when the guys are small. they don't have height or reach classes in boxing for a reason.


a 40 lb advantage over a WW in a pro boxing match would be insurmountable.


is 75" reach marvin hagler going to beat 70" reach david tua because his arms are longer?
