Mike Tyson only had a 71 inch reach???

[Underdog82]

Wow thats MY reach and I'm 5'10 175 lbs and I thought I was on the short side when it comes to reach. There are plenty of welters who have a longer reach.

I'm shocked, or is boxrec wrong?

Wow, my fear of having arms that are to short are false. I can't believe I have a longer reach than Tua and Marciano.

Wait is the proper way to measure reach from finger tip to finger tip? Or do you make a fist and measure it from knuckle to knuckle?

[Chups]

The shorter the reach the stronger the punch.

reach is fingertip to fingertip.

arm length is shoulder to knuckle i think.
