    Rodger Mtagwa is 5' 5" ( 65" ) and has a reach of 72". Not as freakish as Liston, but still long arms for his stature.

    It's actually usually done fingertip to fingertip

    And Paul williams is a ****, 6'3, and outreaches Wladimir Klitschko, yet is a workrate fighter, useless *******

    He needed those long arms to inject all that dope into. Can't go running out of veins when you need a fix.

    Does anyone know how long Amir's arms are? I've AZZked the members of Amir Army, but even all they can come up with is reach.

    72 reach, unless you want literal arm length, it should have come up the last time he was on HBO, cba to search

    For a 5'6" guy, Barrera has a pretty long reach. 70"
