I never realised Crawford's reach is 74'

[Brz_Pugilist]

Reach is overrated in my opinion. Gamboa had a 65 reach was still able to get inside crawford’s reach advantage.

I think it's a typo error

All Crawford's tales of the tape list his reach at 70"

That makes more sense.

McGreggor had 74" reach, Crawfords arms dont seem as long as mcgreggors.

[South Champion]

I just mentioned the same thing today. 2" more than Mayweather and Spence. Crazy.

5' 9"
Kell Brook: 69" reach
Yordenis Ugas: 69" reach
Jeff Horn: 68"reach

5' 8"
Amir Khan: 71" reach
Danny Garcia: 68" reach

5' 7"
Keith Thurman: 69" reach

5' 6"
Porter: 69" reach
Mikey Garcia: 68" reach
Pacquiao: 67" reach

It varies but it is a definite advantage or even necessity for an outside fighter.

Fury with his height and reach almost no heavy can even find his head.

Sure some guys with T rex arms like Hatton and Tyson were effective but a long reach is almost always a big advantage. You can have a long reach and still have good inside game. Floyd, lennox and hopkins all had great inside and outside game and a long reach.

It absolutely isn't overrated. I mean can you get inside a longer reach? That goes without saying, but a fighter with Crawford's type of skill set can dictate the entire fight with his arm length/reach. He can keep you at bay and just pick you off.

Gamboa had quicker hands than Crawford but after the 4th round, proceeded to get his a$$ whooped.

This guy should leave Arum. He will waste his prime years fighting nobodies. He has the skill to beat everyone at WW. He's now what? 31? His resume is sh#tty for a top P4P fighter with that kind of skills.

[spenz]

That is a hell of an asset if a fighter can utilize it well.

yep I rather have long arms and learn how to fight inside than t-rex arms learning how to box outside
