    <But as said, wingspan alone is no solid guide.>

    Huh?

    It's a guide to what somebody's reach is, which is the point of the thread.

    Lewis is about 82" imo (I do not take most sources of 'stats' seriously.)

    Another guy with a huge wingspan is Rahman, 6'2" and about 82"

    Sources disagree considerably on Carnera's measurements but many tale of the tapes in newspaper articles say his reach was only 80 1/4 inches.
