    Agit has an 80 inch reach, Jai's reach is shorter than Usyk's.

    Simple problem there. People do not want to fight Opetaia.

    Even mandatories for Opetaia's title, like Richard Riakporhe, just ran away when they got the call up from the IBF.

    Joshua isn't fighting a live opponent any time soon and according to Hearn, he isn't fighting anyone, any time soon.

    Yeah I would take any reach measurements with a grain of salt, I think it was Dillian Whyte who said he has never had his reach measure before but there it was listed on all his billings.

    Sadly, Derek is going to end up being one of those guys.

    He won’t find Opetaia in there.

    Jai destroys him.

    AJ also had a big reach advantage over Dubois and Usyk.

    Reach doesn't make a difference here.

    All things being even, reach is an advantage but only if you have the skill to be able to capitalize on it.

    Opetaia is staying at Cruiser right now and you can take that to the bank.

    That is the feeling I get with Opetaia, he will still try getting the unification fights for now. Maybe in a year if he hasn't been able to wrangle the other champs into the ring he will look at moving up.

    Let Chisora KO AJ instead

    Opetai won't handle HW very well.
