Zab has the reach advantage here NOT Khan!

Judah has it by a half inch in each arm.

He's also nearly 3 inches shorter than Khan, so that height makes up for the reach advantage.

 

It doesn't matter because it's not like Zab is a 1-2 fighter that fights tall.

 

Damn I didn't know that. That could be significant

That's what I've been thinking all along. They say Judah's a runner, but not really, unless he getting his ass handed to him. I think they want Judah to be aggressive so they can discourage him like Clottey did. Similar to the way Cotto was annoying Pacquiao by running.

The biggest mistake Zab can make is by not accepting that he may not be the fastest guy in the ring tomorrow. Paulie didn't and he payed the price for not putting his hands up. I can see Zab doing that too, but he is a very VERY live underdog.

On paper I'd say this fight is even or Zab's got the advantages, As Amir's only advantages are height, speed, and youth, and two of them may not matter. Amir's only other advantages are Zab's disadvantages, age, wear and tear, etc.... I can't wait till tomorrow its gonna be a great fight.

 

crazy cuz i remember mayweather having a significant reach advantage over judah, just goes to show what a freak mayweather is

 

That 71-inch reach for Khan is apparently disputed.

It was recorded back when he was 17.

It may be out of date.

 

Floyd has LONG ARMS. 26 inch arm length. That's as long as Paul Williams.

Reach is a **** poor way to measure how much extension they can have on their punches. It's the arm length that's important. I don't think Amir's arm length is too long. Judging by how broad his shoulders are, I'm guessing most of his 71 inch reach comes from the shoulders.

 

I commented about this on another thread. Look at the weigh in pictures, Khans arms look longer

 

Floyd and Zab both have 72 inch reach.

Difference is Floyd's arm length is 26 inches wheres Zab is only 22. Most of Zab's reach is made up of his broader shoulders.

 

I agree.

 

:huh

Zab has some short AZZ arms for a Black nigg@.

 

I think the numbers are misleading IMO.

Ive met boxers that are listed as 5'8 and are more like 5'5-5'6

Id reckon that reach also has a similar disparity
