how the fuck does he have the reach of a 6'1'' fighter?
i think that's why he is undefeated. How many fighters with longer reach than him has he ever fought?
literally all he has to do is keep a distance and jab jab jab

how do you properly measure your boxing reach???
Arm pit to middle finger
LIterally black genetics.
I'm black, 5'11" with a 6'2" armspan.
there are lots of boxers out there who have comparable or superior reach yet they arent undefeated. its not that simple
how many longer reach opponents did mayweather beat? i want to see the stats
why arent u a boxer
He has really long limbs. And because of that - has a playstyle like pic related.
Go to boxrec and do the research for yourself
I've been interested 2bh, but when I ask /fit/ they tell me to do Krav Maga or something.
>asking /fit/ anything
nothing of value from those autistic closet homos
Same measurements here. I'm a Mestizo though. 6.2 inches down there though ;p what about you?
Same.
It's thick too. :)
get a room
Is that good? My arms are slightly longer at the same height
>tfw become the lightskin floyd with a bit of naseem mixed in and get rich
It's good when it comes to boxing or any sport where you need to extend.
fit is garbage. their sticky is excellent hough, but thats about the only good thing of the board. they also make funny oc.
ignore the rest
>Height 5 ft 9 in (175 cm)
>Reach 74 in (187 cm)
also teh guy that knock the fuck out of bernand hopkins was white and has long ass arms but somehow bernard has longer reach... but that joe smith jr looks like a freak
Interesting. Mine isn't very thick :(
Both of you are small time
5'9, 6'1 wingspan here
>wingspan
How fast you fly bro
cant 2 lazy
lmao how can connor have longer measurements than joe smith jr? this shit must be wrongly measured... maybe they are frauding to make the opponent scared?
I'm getting back into boxing fuck this.
See you cunts when I'm rich and the next SHAT AHP BLAD hypejob
>bit of Naseem mixed in
So you'll get completely embarrassed in your biggest fight and retire like a bitch?
center of armit? where
not possible... it must be middle finger to middle finger. armpit to middle finger is too short measurement compared to average measurement
Middle finger to middle finger is WINGSPAN not reach. Only mma does wingspan. Reach = armpit to middle finger
You should google terms before you spew lies on an Indonesian Boat-In-a-bottle board.
And where am I wrong faggot? UFC measures wingspan. Boxing does armpit to finger reach.
You were wrong when you were conceived.
dude look at the fucking thing
reach
>72″ / 183cm
how can there be 183cm from armit to middle finger you mong
and click "i" it literally says this:
>A Boxer's Reach
>A boxer's reach is the distance between the fingertips of the outstretched arms.
>72" reach
>6'1" fighter
>73"
I'm 6'3 with a 6'7 inch wingspan and I'm white. I have the superior genetics to you nigger.
have you ever seen conor fight? he looks like an ape. literally his whole gimmick is shooting lefts with his freak arms
>lmao how can connor have longer measurements than joe smith jr?
may be some "reach inflation" there but he has the advantage over everyone at 145 and everyone top 15 at 155 not named Nate Diaz afaik
If you're interested in it just go find a boxing gym in your area or an MMA gym with striking specialists.

Your insecurity is showing, tim. Calm down.
I've seen short stocky whites, I've seen short stocky blacks.
I've seen tall lanky blacks, I've seen tall lanky whites.
By your logic, the 6'10 Eskimo fellow I met has the most superiorest genes right?
Silly douche.
>only 3 inch difference
Armspanlets lol
You don't get by on reach alone.
Sonny Liston had possibly the most ridiculous ape index of all humans: 73 inch height to 84 inch reach, and he still got pummeled by Ali (75/78) who had the style to beat him.
Mayweather gets his because he uses it well with speed and his defense (jabs as you mentioned, to maintain distance)
Much like Conor McGregor, who has a bigger ape index (69/74), but he uses it along with power punching (by using it to gauge distance for one hand, his "left hand shot")
Ferguson has 76", Chiesa 75", Barboza 75" and Nate 76" are the only top 15 with longer reaches than McGoober
ferguson would heem mcgoober in 1 round
Unpopular opinion: Floyd is top 10 all time in terms of natural ability.
No way is his armpit to middle finger is longer than his height
not really unpopular.
I think Mosley had longer arms than Floyd
he did, so did de la hoya
>Mayweather gets his because he uses it well with speed and his defense (jabs as you mentioned, to maintain distance)
Also Mayweather is a pretty adept in-fighter, so he's not like Lara or someone who looks superhuman on the outside but is completely useless once someone gets inside his reach. One of Mayweather's greatest attributes was versatility
And it's interesting that they were both tough fights, in different ways. Also interesting that he chose to walk Shane down behind a high guard rather than use his usual backpeddling style
Paul Williams would've been a stylistic nightmare for Floyd. He had the arms of a guy who's 6'6 and threw like 1,000 punches per fight
probably thought shane was done at that point.
Doubt it, considering Shane had KOed Margarito in his previous fight and all the usual suspects were claiming that Floyd would duck him
>Krav Maga
My sides
That's an unpopular casual opinion.
Most people who watch boxing would agree
>tfw 5'8
>tfw 74 inch reach
I'd smoke this faggot desu
also pretty good footwork
>How many fighters with longer reach than him has he ever fought?
fighting is literallly le reach superiority game
>asking /fit/ for fighting advice
That Mexican bum was shit without his brick gloves tbf
