When discussing reach it must be measured in the correct way. HBO's method of measuring from armpit to hand makes no sense. The width of the back is a factor as you jab sideways, not square to your opponent. The most realistic measurement should be from knuckle of one hand to the knucle of the other hand. This factors in the width of the back. It's important to remember that reach is a disadvantage on the inside, as the shorter reach is more effective.
