    Hi guys, I think that title says it all. Are there any fights when Wladimir Klitschko fought with reach disadvantage? I can remember only fight aggainst Mariusz Wach but it seems that he is only taller but Wladimir has still reach advantage.

    LOL, the above are three B level fighters.

    The Klits have always held a size/reach advantage over their opponents.
    Lennox Lewis is the only A level elite class fighter either has faced, and he was old and didn't even train before he TKO'ed Vitali.

    most ATG'S had big reach advantages over the majority of their opponents. It's one of the biggest advantages to have, often mistaken for size.
    Floyd does too

    Hasim Rahman has 29" arms.

    Wlad actually doesn't have such a long reach for his height. He has broad shoulders, but according to HBO his arm length is 26" the same as Floyd Mayweather, who has had a reach advantage over ALL his opponents.


    Fighters with longer wingspan:

    Lennox Lewis, Deontay Wilder, Sonny Liston, Tyson Fury, Julius Long

    :blood You lump Thompson and prime Big Time in with Wach? (who might not even be B level, honestly)

    You asked for examples and were given some.

    Hasim Rahman too.

    Lots of guys have had equal reach. (TOS, Purritty, Austin)
