What is Oscar De La Hoya’s reach? – apparently it’s 73 inches!

ALEXANDR HERMANN

PACQUIAO ADVANTAGES ARE HIS FOREARMS, WRISTS AND CALVES.

They got same arm length but pacquiao has the quicker hands..

also significant is how large manny’s calf is over miguel’s. that’s probably a big reason why pacquiao’ punches hurt; the stronger your legs, the more power it lends to the upper body. plus, you get to be extra quick.

Reach might play a big part, but Cotto has dominated fighters like Mosley even faired with Clottey who’s reach are comparable if not greater than that of Floyd Jr. I agree that It’s a plus for Pacquiao that Cotto has the same reach, but does not make it any easier.

Same arms length? Not a good news for Cotto’s camp. That puts Cotto at a disadvantage now. Hatton. Hoya, Morales, Solis, Larios and David Diaz overlooked that long arms and paid dearly to it. I’m saving my 2 paychecks, bet it and won’t even think of losing it. BREAKING NEWS: Veteran Jose Luis Castillo sparred with Manny yesterday and says ” it’s hard to see Manny’s left, it’s so quick, it will be a big problem for Cotto.”

skill counts not reach

Manny is an unorthodox boxer but not a one punch killer,Cotto is.To catch an unorthodox boxer u focus on the very center of his body (don’t look for specific targets) then minimize an incoming missle and counter with a devestating harpoon missle compounded w/lots of English.At that point the Pac will have eaten his last meal and I just hope he is wearing diapers.The Harvard equation of Ali v Forman does not apply because that was “the Greatest against a then not so smart,inmature Forman.

david give credit to pacman, your article is always top notcher to number of viewers. try not to write a pacman article. hahaha, seriously I like your articles about pacman.

Ian All Night Long

for those who are just finding out that Manny’s reach is just as long as Cotto’s are idiots.
That’s why I already put $20000 on Pacquiao..and have $20000 more to drop right before the fight starts…

I like what klitscho said,
“In boxing, everyone is a good boxer but no wants to fight.”

vince

correction-

” In boxing everybody is an expert, but nobody fights”

ranz

don’t be stupid, it’s 67 CENTIMETERS!!! nOt inches! Had it been in inches, the reach would have been longer than the height of the boxer. That’s a very simple fact to make an error of. Get it right please! (67 inches is correct: reach is measured as full arm span, from fingertip to fingertip across the neck – it’s not 67 inches per arm, which would be rather long)

trygemg

ranz, i believe it’s inches. reach is measured from one hand to the other, from longest finger tip to the other, if i’m not mistaken.

67 centimeters, if just one arm, then that might make more sense, but all the other relevant measurements in the tale of the tape are inches, too.
