I thought 'reach' is measured from the armpit to the end of the fist? Lewis is listed as having longer reach than both brothers.
The reason why it's a good idea to jump back when Haye throws is that he falls off balance if he doesn't hit you and thus can't put combinations together. This is what Steward said before the fight, the same Steward who would have been giving Lewis advice against Haye.
1. Yes! Vital: 29.5 Lewis: 29 Wlad: 26 2. Wingspan is sometimes listed as reach, but it is actually a measurement of both extended arms, shoulders, cheset, and hands, finger to finger. You think Lennox has 84inch long arms? Fighters with long fingers and broad shoulders like Wlad often end up with larger measurements but don't necessarily have a true reach advantage.
that isn't what he was talking about,he said he'd beat wlad easier then he beat his bro.styles make fights man.......
If what you said actually is true my respect for Wlads skills is growing tremendously. He is basically T-rex compared to lewis, yet he is much better long range fighter.
WOW...now I start to understand the haters of yore.:good One tends to forget he dodged Ruis and Byrd.:yep
A prime Lewis would knock out Vitali and Wlad in the same night. End of story. There should be no more post about this topic.
