    Who are some ATG's with very short or very long reaches for their height? Marvin Hagler for example had a 75 inch reach and was a legit 5'8" in height. Which is just ridiculous.

    Rocky Marciano was 5'10" and had a 67 inch reach. Which is extremely short reach for a 5'10" fighter.

    Who are some more examples?

    Jimmy Bivins. He has some varied "tale of the tape" measurements. But there are listings that have him at 5'9" with a 77" wingspan. His arm length does look absurd.

    Archie Moore has a 6'0" 78" wingspan measurement. He also still has some formidable 5'10" 75.5" listings.

    Jack Johnson had a 74" wingspan on a 6'1" listing. That's fairly short for a heavyweight.

    Andre Ward has a 71 inch reach on a 6'1" frame. Which is pretty short for a guy that tall. That could be a reason why he was so effective on the inside.
