Who has the reach adv?

Who has the reach av\dvantage, Franklin or Silva?

I remember reading an interview with Wandi a few years ago that said that when Anderson was still with Chute Boxe, Wandi didn't like to spare with him. He said his arms were so long that he couldn't get inside of him. And that anderson was REALLY accurate to.

I'd guess Silva....he's also a lot more accurate - but Rich is Stronger/Larger

Wanderlei is 5'11'' and franklin is 6'1''.My guess is richs arms are longer then wandy's.Probably should be pretty even.But who knows.I don't actually know the reach numbers.I'm sure rich has fought some guys at 205 with decent reach

LOL. Uhm, we aren't discussing Wanderlei Silva man. Here is a hint - We are talking about the guy Rich is fighting tomorrow night...

They say silva's arms are freaky long

I boxed a guy years ago like that. When he had his arms down his palms of his hands where by his knees. His nickname was nails, and I remember thinking that it was a weird one before the fight. After I knew why. Thats what his punches were like. Nails coming straight down the pipes.
