    Whitaker and Hagler? Hagler had a 75 inch reach.

    Yes, I'd agree with this as well. In their own respective ways, Hagler and Whitaker were probably the best of them all.

    -Must also be noted that Marvelous Marvin Hagler was a successful switch-hitter as well.

    Hagler's the best I know about.

    Any others?

    Vincente Saldivar deserves a shout for his underrated counterpunching even if it is clearly a level below the level of Hagler and Whitaker, or even Moorer for that matter.
