kelly pavlik against past middle and light heavyweights

[Deanrw]

Here is an interesting picture regarding reach. Pavlik and Hopkins are both listed as having a 75" reach. If you look at this photo though, you will see a fairly considerable arm length advantage for one of them. Who is it?hehe

Thats why stats are now given for fingertip to fingertip and armpit tp fingertip

Armpit to end of fist would probably be the best measurement. Reach is useless though without the ability to utilize it properly. Pavlik gives that reach up when he steps in to punch. That is where Hopkins has his best chance. He will get to Pavlik, but the question is will he have enough to finish what he started. If he does not, Pavlik will eventually wear him down.
