    Reach advantage over who?

    I fail to see what's so funny.

    His arms are nearly as long as his body (164 cm)???? Surely thats unfair

    When they refer to reach, they sometimes mean the wingspan of a boxer when he has both arms stretched out.

    They refer to this -- granted it's Michael Jordan and not a boxer, but you get the idea.

    Reach is measured in wingspan. A person's wingspan is typically the same length as his body, therefore I don't see anything wrong with it.

    Again, I fail to see what's funny. Unless you were pointing out the fact that you think they mean one of his arms is 64" long, in which case it's not funny, it's just the fact that you are wrong and don't know what reach is.

    so if its wingspan from finger tip to finger tip then they include the chest width aswell ? so if one guy has a wider wingspan but his chest is broader. then his arms may not be longer then the other guy therefore he actually doesnt hav a longer reach. ? right ?

    HBO does the reach from the finger tip to the arm pit. I thought that's what it was as well.

    No, that's arm length.
