    It doesnt add up - your arms alone are 64", yet your reach is 74 - making the entire distance across your chest and shoulders 10". A 5yr old has a wider torso than that, surely?

    I'm 185cm/6'1", reach 73", arm 26". A few guys I spar with who are shorter than me have the same reach, one guy the same height has significantly superior reach, which is interesting.

    Currently weigh 84kg/185lb. Chest 43", waist 34".

    Yea your arms arm pretty short for your height, what are your strengths in the ring. Doesn't it feel akward fighting someone shorter than you with longer reach?

    Not sure what went wrong. I measured from the armpit to the end of my fist. Remeasuring gives me 70 cm, which equals 27.5 inch. Not quite 30", again I don't know how the **** that happened, perhaps I mistakenly converted 80 cm instead of 70. I can't believe Vitali's arms are that short btw, he's huge.

    Actual measurements:

    Height: 5'9"
    Reach: 69.5"
    Arm: 27.5"
