short armed boxers

Calderon maybe?

 

Actually, Martinez has very long reach compared to his height.

 

I think maybe Kessler vs Siaca or Andrade, but Saica sucked and Andrade was a brawler, so maybe that's not so hard.

I haven't seen too many of Beyers fights, but he was a midget for SMW and still won a lot of fights.

 

Pascal vs Dawson I think is a recent example where this happened. Huge difference in reach

 

One thing that bothers me is that reach is the distance from fingertip to fingertip (or was it knuckle to knuckle?), but some fighters have narrow shoulders and long arms, so it's not that useful a measure.

 

Yeah, not to mention height. I couldn't beleive it when I heard the result.

 

Can't believe not one person has said TYSON or ROY JONES JR!

 

Tyson wasn't an outboxer and Jones didn't have short arms. Neither fighter pertains to this thread at all, so what makes it so hard to believe?

 

pacquaio comes to mind for me

 

those people used technique and footwork, but they didn't really work the entire ring.

But obviously anyone who understands boxing knows that Marciano, Frazier, and Tyson used footwork and technique. Basically you don't want examples of fighters who were offensive-minded.

 

Zab Judah. Has 22" arms and is clueless when fighting on the inside, except the great left uppercut he throws like once a fight.

 

Bernard Hopkins has 23" arms, I think, and fights on the outside well, also.

 

Not an outside fighter.

 

He's not very short armed, either.
