    I probably fall short of the ATG category (might scrape top 100 in some lists) but my reach is 64" and I am 5'9". I'd be surprised if there are many pro boxers with such a short armspan/height ratio.

      I'm 2 inches shorter than you with a 70inch reach.

            Mike Tyson had a pretty short reach.

            Vinny Pazienza looked like he had quite a short reach too....

              Mate, you're almost the world record holder....... And I'll put you in a top 20 list, Just don't know your best weight division.

                when he went up in weight he looked stubby

                but as a LW he was actually pretty long of arm

                about 70 inches of reach i think

                and he's only about 5'6 or so. at least now. i shook his hand at a club fight a couple years back.

                  I have a minus 5 inch deficit. Best at Welter or Junior Welter. At Welter I fit in between Sugar Ray Leonard and Emile Griffith on the ATG list.

                    not sure about this to the level that i've confirmed it with a source

                    but i've heard that Michaelangelo (yes, that Michaelangelo, lol) determined in his study of the human body that the general proportions of a human being were equal in height and reach. again, this is the average he observed however many centuries ago.
