short boxers with huge reachs??

just wanting to know if there has been any short boxers that have freakishly huge reaches??

 

Depends how you determine freakishly huge

Sonny Liston wasn't short (6 foot), but he had an almost 85'' reach. To put that in perspective I'm 6'1 and have 76''.

Nikolai Valuev (7 foot) and Tyson Fury (6'9) both have an 85'' reach. So I'd say Listons was freakish for his height.

 

Hagler had a 75 inch reach and was only 69 inches tall.

 

How is reach measured?

Also, how is arm length measured?

 

Liston comes to mind..
What about Leonard?

 

reach is end of fist across to end of other fist.
arm length is armpit to end of fist

 

martinez has a 76 inch reach being 5' 10.5''

 

sam langford

 

Mayweather is listed as 5'8 with a 72 inch reach.

Mosley is listed as 5'9 with a 74 inch reach.

Paul Williams is tall as hell, listed as 6'1 and probably a couple inches taller, but his reach listed at 82 inches (6'10).

 

Williams reach is freakish, good call :good

 

Dhalsim

 

Sonny Liston and Dwight Muhammad Qawi immediately come to mind.

 

Probably the most underused asset in all of boxing!

 

Floyd is freakish whatever you look at him.

 

for sure, but he is actually taller than listed, dude is probably 6.3 and his reach is comparable to foreman.
