Whenever I get in a match, I feel like my reach is extremely short and cannot punch people effectively from where the other person can.
My reach (from armpit to tip of the finger) is 2' 4".
My height is 6' 7".
Is my reach too short?
If so, is there a way to increase my reach?

Muhammad Ali was 6:3 when he fought and had a reach of 82 inches. Rocky Marciano was 5:10 1/2 and had a short reach of 68 inches. Reach is typically relatively close to a fighter's height. Ali was 75 inches tall with a reach of 82. Marciano was 70 1/2 inches tall and had a reach of 68 inches. Reach is determined by your wingspan. In other words stretch your arms as far as you can to the sides and measure finger tip to finger tip. If you are 6:7, your reach should be 77-86 inches or so if measured correctly.

I am thinking you are either not 6'7" tall, or your reach is not 2'4". Reach in boxing is really arm span so it is misleading since some people's bodies are wider so they have a long span but not a long reach. You can not increase your reach, you can only learn to make people miss or block their shots so you can counter.

boxing is not a mater of how big you are and how high or long you can reach it is abou.t heart and you have to have heart because it is important. it is not about size it is about skill.
