    You're assertion was that Froch can't fight off his front foot..

    When pushing off you're front foot.... You move backwards

    Have you ever been in a boxing stance?

    Idiot

    I thought average reach is whatever your height is. A 6ft guy should have 72 inch reach.

    5 ft 8 should be 68

    etc

    Why does it matter? Most fighters are better at some things than others.

    Average wing span is longer than your height, but it should be close. 2" one way or the other, for example, is perfectly NORMAL.

    Taylor, Abraham, Pascal.

    Though he does definitely prefer the back foot. Typically he starts backing up and tries to close the show with pressure.

    I hate to tell you this but the only reason that Dirrell gets away with his hit, run, and flop to the canvas style is because he has abnormally long arms.

    Do you know why the average weight for a 5'7.75" person is 181 but 5'8" is 155? The first person would be a fat ****.:huh

    This is a chart of NBA prospects. Basketball players generally are very tall and long, which is one reason they can excell at that high level. With that being, don't you think showing a chart of NBA prospects is misleading when trying to determine normal wingspans? Maybe you could explain this to the rest of us idiots. We all don't have your vast knowledge.

    I didn't figure I'd have to explain the chart to you, Leon. Note the sample sizes of 1 for those heights. :patsch

    Those heights are without shoes. Nate Robinson is about 5'7" without shoes and weighs over 180 lbs. He's hardly fat.

    6'1" boxers are generally as tall as 6'1" basketball players. 6'1" basketball players are not generally longer than 6'1" boxers, as they are generally point guards responsible for being floor generals. You should generally just admit that you are wrong before this gets any more embarrassing.

    Point Guard or not, basketball players generally have long arms. A point guard still has the ball through traffic, and handle the ball. Long arms would definitely help them do both. What's embarrassing that you tried to use a chart of NBA prospects to prove that people generally have wingspans that are longer than their height. I think most people with an ounce of common sense would see the obvious flaw here. For some reason you don't see it, and for some reason you believe calling people stupid somehow makes you right.
