    think of it this way. in fact i made a thread (or post about it a while back)

    True reach imo is arm length + shoulder to shoulder length/2 (since the rotation is at the spine so only half of the length is utilized) + the range of your head movement

    Head movement is something that is underrated when it comes to reach thats why even Pac was able to reach people from an unsuspecting distance with his t-rex arms for a WW

    What about when Mosely was 2 inches taller and had a 7 inch reach advantage against Cotto?

    He hits harder and has the heavier jab.

    Floyd cannot just settle for a UD to gain any credit for this fight. He has virtually all the advantages in this fight, he should win by TKO.

    Cotto will be heavier than Floyd- thats an advantage.
