    I am 182.5cm (6' or 72") tall, and have a 182.5cm (72") reach.

    My reach is the same as my height. Is that good?

    No, it's simple unacceptable.:nono: :lol:

    Nah man, it's normal to for your span to be the same as your height. Boxers tend to have longer arms - interesting that almost every top level fighter does, considering how relatively rare it is in the general populous. Must mean it plays a big part in determining who makes it.

    Miguel Cotto's reach is the same as his height. So take that, mr. Hut.:kick:
