Would Mayweather be near as successful without his extraodinary reach?

would the klits be as effective if they were 5 foot 11?
would mike tyson be 100-0 if he was 6 foot 8?

 

yes

 

WHY though what if vitali was 5'3 what if Ali had one leg?

 

i think it is impossible to tell really

what i will say is, someone with the natural talents of floyd was born to be a champ

 

Trying to find flaws in the fighter they hate, also helps them sleep at night with bs questions like these.

We can play the WHAT IF game with every fighter then not just Floyd muthphuckan thread starter!

 

:deal exactly!

 

Having a long reach is a huge advantage. The same question could be asked of any tall and/or long armed boxer.

 

Floyd's reach is a real strength, but he's ****-hot on the inside as well, so even though he'd be a poorer fighter with a short reach, he's probably still be an excellent one. His handspeed is exceptional, long reach or not.

 

Other questions

Would Mayweather be as successful without his extraordinary ring IQ?

1. His extraordinary reflexes?
2. His extraordinary speed?
3. His extraordinary skills?
4. His extraordinary work ethic?

 

Take all this away, and he's basically a short black me :-(

 

Well mayweather utilizes his reach to his full advantage

 

Probably not, but that's part of being a fighter, and you can't take that away from his identity as Floyd Mayweather Jr. just like you couldn't separate Ali from his speed or Hearns for his right hand.
