Why did boxing stop measuring other muscles? See pictures.

[SlySlickSmooth]

The only measurements they nowadays are usually arm length, reach, and height.
I don't think they would announce these measurements, but does boxing ever put these out anymore?

Take a look at these older "tale of the tapes"






People always talk about Pacquiao's calf size, so why hasn't some measured it?

[The Gambler1981]

It is interesting info, but most of it is kind of meaningless.

Reach is still a great one even if people don't get it (it is a proportion thing).

Reach and height I think are essential although the others do go more in depth for whatever you yourself can get out of it.

Because they are not getting measured for a suit

hahaha

it's pretty pointless tbh, has no affect on the fight. Reach, weight, height are far more important compared to how thick your bicep is.

This is pretty much it.

They're not race horses. While it may be cool to see, those measurements are overkill.

They should also measure their beef bayonets.


Just saying...

Disagree, big wrist, chest, forearm could indicate big frame, big waist could indicate excess fat etc. I don't think it's pointless at all.
