I mentioned reach along with a bunch of other things I feel are far more important, but reach is still a factor between boxers of comparable skill. Tyson won handily in his early days because he was ferocious, relentless, in better shape, and generally stronger than his opponents. The sport has evolved though and the bigger guys with longer arms are very highly skilled, very strong, and in great shape. Honestly I don't think the short guys like Tyson can compete on the championship stage anymore.

Fedor Emelianenko is 6'0...Tyson was like 5'10''. Fedor is by far the greatest MMA fighter of all time. 2 inches.
