    Leg length is important to when comparing reach. A small step in and you shot at the same time.

    O.K so I replaced Jennings with DDD and added Bryant who has 84 inch reach but was defeated by Ortiz who is also taller then Jennings which is also reach to a fighter.

    Jennings is a short Hw but has 84 inches ,is an example of that. You cant just go on arm length . You use your height more then your reach in boxing because you aren't swaying your hands/arms back and forth to avoid punches you use your body movement and where your body goes so does your arms not the other way around imagine fighters running to catch up to their arms back and forth side to side ? . lol

    Fury has always been 6’7”. Even Wlad admitted that he was surprised that Fury height was similar to Wach’s height, who is also 6’7”.

    Tyson Fury and 6’7” Wach

    Early in his career he was 6’7” and then suddenly they started billing him at 6’9. Fury’s 6’9” listing is as laughable as Wilder’s 6’7” listing.

    Joshua’s 6’6” listing is at least reasonable, since Joshua is legitimately 6’5.5”, so adding a half inch isn’t that big of an exaggeration, but adding 2-3 inches is.

    “The English heavyweight champion, who fights Zack Page in Quebec tonight, has thrown down a challenge to all-comers.

    He told them: “I’m the best young heavyweight in the world and if you want to prove me wrong, just contact my promoter, Mick Hennessy.”

    The 22-year-old 6ft 7in Manchester fighter, who wants Haye to postpone his plans to retire next October, said: “I need a few more fights but I am on Haye’s tail.

    “Like him or lump him, Tyson Fury is the World heavyweight champion.

    The 6-foot-7 monster from Manchester currently holds just the WBA and WBO belts, but that's not important; he beat the recognised world champion, and so now he is the recognised world champion.”

    Liston comes under this category too, his reach was 84 and he was only 6ft.

    Fury is taller than Wilder because they looked the same height while fighting and that was while Fury was putting his head down while keeping his chin tucked like Ruiz did v AJ, check out how stooped Fury`s back is against Wilder, he was giving him eyebrows all fight.
