if your arms were attached to a pole( very narrow) and you rotated the pole and leaned it forward you would get some added distance

but i do agree that the back adds some reach, but i believe the lengths of the arms are more important
This didn't o over our heads AB, but it actually seems you agree with us. Of course the length of your arms means more. But take you average guy, say his arm length is the same as Brock Lesnar's, then have them throw textbook right crosses at one another and see who gets hit first. The broadness of Lesnar's shoulders probably adds about 6-8 inches to his reach without leaning. Which is the reason for measuring the wingspan. It adds a bit to your reach and even if it's just a few inches, it can make all the difference.


Now you guys, stop bickering or I'm going to lock thread. You guys can handle this via PM.

dont forget all of your power is generated out of your twisting back, and legs. and i twist my back when i fire my jab so it will have some more stink on it. i'll fight anyone who is just gonna try and arm-punch me. no power there. you gotta twist your body for power ala bas rutten. i think reach should be measured from the center of your back to the end of your closed fist. obvious ab has never fought.
