What the average reech of......?

Question

what the average reach of someone who is 5'8"...i have a reach of 76..am idestened to be a fighter? lol.

Answer 1

your reach should be about 2 inches more than your hight, so yes you have a big reach

Answer 2

Wow! You do have a long reach span at 76 inches. Mine is 77 inches and I'm 5'11", which is also considered long for my frame.

Anyway here are a few example of guys around your height and their reach span:

Miguel Cotto 5'7" with 67" reach

Shane Mosley 5'9" with 74" reach

Joshua Clottey 5'8" with 70" reach

Zab Judah 5'7" with 72" reach

Floyd Mayweather 5'8" with 72" reach

Arturo Gatti 5'7" with 70" reach

Cory Spinks 5'9" with 71" reach

Vernon Forrest 6'0" with 73" reach

Answer 3

I think 76 is long for your height. Perhaps you are destined to be a fighter. Perhaps you will be the next Joshua Clottey (also 5'8 with extremely long arms). I think Muhammed had a 78 or 80 reach and he was 6'3''

Answer 4

Paul Williams supposedly has an 82" reach, thats freakishly long. At 5'8" 76 is pushing freakish as well. Pretty cool though, I don't know about destined to be a fighter but you'd definitely have an advantage right off the bat.
