    He has good reach for his heaight but not freakish reach like Liston.

    Zab Judah has the same reach of 72" and is even shorter.

    very good arm length on him too. I remember one of his friends in a documentary stating how Lee would be an outfighter if he was boxing.

    Oh for sure. He liked watching Ali...Once he got rid of his unpractical traditional fighting style/stances he took an ali move and hit approach switching from southpaw(for kicking) to orthodox while on the move. Still can't beat Bruce's philosophy on hand to hand combat. so ahead of his time.
