It's even bigger as Floydweather's, of course it's a huge asset to have. I've said it many times before, a big portion of the ATG's have one thing in common. Wich is outreaching almost all of their opponents.
Pacman, Duran, Tyson, Lamotta but yeah i agree in general its a good advantage to have, imo though speed is more important at least in general.
reach is very important. It's can definitely be made up for, but only to a point. There are plenty of guys though that can out jab someone with longer arms and are effective on the outside, but its mainly due to their speed. Having a combination of big reach and good speed can make one virtually untouchable if they hone their skills correctly. (Think Mayweather)
Walters has 24" arms and a wingspan of 73". That's a longer reach than many heavyweights such as Marciano and Tua.
24 inch arms aren't anything special lol. It's the 73 wingspan thats special, i'm guessing big hands and broad shoulders.
True... broad shoulders actually matter, it increases the distance between the end of fist and chin, but long fingers just pad the reach stat. Also one of those stats are probably off, most fighters seem to vary in reach by 3 inches throughout their career. No way it actually changes that much... just poor measurements.
