    Is it Lennox Lewis at 85 inches?
    That's freakish.. he's tall like 6'5. but 85 inches is freakish for 6'5.

    Vitali Klitschko has a reach of 80 inches.
    Wladimir has a reach of 81 inches.

    This is not about ATG but Williams, who fought at WW had the longest reach in boxing until Valuev "arrived".

    I think Mosley has the longest reach as lightweight champion. I think.

    Although hes not an ATG , Sonny Liston back in his day had an incredible arm reach of 84 inches .

    BTW Lennox arm reach was 84 similar to Liston .
