    According to box rec khan is 71 and judah 72 yet hbo at the start said khan had a much longer reach ? :huh further still the commentary team couldn't go 10 seconds without mentioning the reach advantage ?

    I want to say that the reach stats do show Judah as longer but thats wrist to wrist with your shoulders.

    Im sure Khans frame is a bit smaller than Judahs at the shoulder level, allowing his arms to be longer.

    The way that reach is measured does NOT matter, arm length is far more important, and Khan's arms measured 24 while Judah's was 22, so he did in fact have a longer reach with his punches.

    They were also mentioning how much wider Khan's back was which made it even more confusing. I think they might of got the measurements wrong at the beginning, because something didn't quite add up.

    those measurements on boxrec are probably khans measurements when he turned professional and has most likely grown since then

    This.

    Apparently those were taken when he was 18. I imagine Khan still had a bit of growing to do.
