Short boxers with long reach

[Zaroku]

sonny liston was only 6 ft.

but his reach was supposedly 84 in.

that's 3 in. more than 6'6 wlad and 5 in. more than 6'7 vitali.

Did anyone see Ioka vs Sosa, Sosa was shorter, but had long arms, and a really short torso. His elbows came to the top of this trunks, while his gloves protected his chin. Kinda like Winky, but without a great jab.

Floyd is like 5ft6 or 5ft7 and he has 72" reach that's pretty good for someone of that height.

He's listed as 5'8'' isn't he?

[M Bison]

He's listed as 5'8'' isn't he?

I think most the times they get the heights wrong, they said Canelo Alvarez was 5ft7 but when he stood beside Floyd he looked marginally taller and he is listed at 5ft9 now.
So I'd say 5ft7 is probably realistic

uncle rog has a 73.5 inch read at 5' 7.5"....that's freakish

Sonny liston was 6'0" with an 80+ reach



Gilberto Roman had extremely long arms for a junior bantamweight idk his reach, as did Rafael Bazooka Limon

i dunno what winky's reach was.

but winky was only 5'9 or so and seemed to jab everyone to death.

Winky is 5'11 .

He has extremely long arms and big hands

For a guy who stood 5′ 1½″ with a reach of 65" at WW
Barbados Joe Walcott was a badass puncher.

I'm pretty sure the 5'8'' is accurate, as he looked a solid couple inches taller than Pacquiao who is listed as 5'6''. Plus we have to take boxrec at face value otherwise we shouldn't use the reach stats either.

But yeah, Canelo seems to have grown 2 inches in his 20s lol

winky is not 5'11. i've seen him listed as low as 5'9 in tales of the tape.

Hagler, utilized it in full effect against Hearns.

Can you remember any successful short boxers with long reaches?

Floyd mayweather is rather short and he has some pretty long arms.
