Carl Froch is a horrible pressure fighter. He cant fight off the front foot

    How would long arms help you handle a ball?

    Basic moves such as a crossover and a behind the back dribble are easier to do with longer arms. Also when you're dribbling, if you have longer arms, the ball isn't bouncing up as high. Keep your hand above your waist and dribble the ball, and then dribble wth your arm extended below your waist. You'll have better control with your arm extended.

    How about this one, genius? It's a bunch of physics students. Do long arms increase their ability to attend science class? Of the 24 students measured, 20 of them had longer wingspans than heights.

    Allen Iverson has big hands and long arms for a guy 6'0 tall.

    unless you know the standard deviation of wing spans, you may be speaking presumptuously.

    And to further add, the human chart for the wing span is not the standard chart for all humans to go by when it comes to reach.

    Once again the lone *******, and the Brits divert from the original premise of the thread. Where I said that Froch looks horrible fighting coming forward.


    Remember I told these dumbass ***s this before the Dirrell fight. Looks like they need another lesson

    He's a long fighter. Length isnt width or height. And thats what I said. Length. Said nothing about his reach.

    His midsection is small in comparison to the rest of his body. Long neck, long arms, long legs.


    Which is why he's so awkward and hard to look good against. Its his biggest atribute.

    I'll try to find the thread where I said Dirrell would beat Froch. I got laughed at. Most said he would get destroyed. I said so because Froch cant fight coming forward.


    I bumped the thread where I said Kessler would be easy work for Ward. I got laughed AND called racist. LOL. Thats a classic

    The total length of all his extremities give him and awkwardness that better fighters have trouble with.


    You follow? You do realize people are built differently dont you? Hell some boxing analysists and shows dont even go by reach. Because it doesnt clearly define length. Thats why you'll get different numbers from time to time.

    Direll and Ward look horrible being slick american fighters. So what's your point? They only get away with it because the abnormal ref allows running and holding.I think Froch will make Ward look like un slick and possibly beat him or make him run around the square circle.
