    Liston`s reach was 84 inches and Gassiev`s is only 76 inches anyway.

    Liston's jab would keep Gassiev in his shell, and I haven't seen anything to suggest that Gassiev can get past it. I expect a fairly comfortable points decision for Sonny unless he gets sloppy and allows Gassiev to sneak in a hard shot or two. Would like to see more of Gassiev against a range of styles though.

    I think Liston's reach was more like 80 1/2.

    No way his arms were long as hell alot longer than Ali`s who had a reach of 78, Gassiev only has a 76 inch reach.
