    It’s not the arms he lacks. It’s the shoulder width. Reach is measured via wingspan. He is fine.

    How long is his pecker?
    Its strictly a scientific interest, nothing sexual. That may be the true determinant area where power is generated for punches.

    That's right, I'd says his arms are about equal to his height, because his shoulders are strangley narrow. His reach is about average, but definitely not a strenghth.

    In his latest media workout he looks goofy as hell. Not that his arms are short, but it's his shoulders.

    He looks like a pebble already, which is why I dont think he could go beyond 140, he doesnt have the frame for it.

    Of course there have been great fighters with short arms.
    A bunch of them have been basically squares, height & wingspan equal-like Tyson & most human beings
    And Tyson overwhelmingly fought significantly taller guys, so he was giving up much height & reach.
    Maricano had a bigger height to wingspan discrepancy than Lomachencko.

    You just are very unlikely to be a boxer type at these dimensions-but might be a great swarmer.
    Lomachencko logically could not have both very short arms & narrow shoulders/not broad-or he would have an even greater discrepency.
    As pointed out above, it must be the latter that is small.

    He uses it as an advantage, credit to his footwork and IQ.
