Does anyone know for sure what Jackson's classic reach was? Corbett was 73". Judging by this article, it is plausible to assume that Jackson classic finger tip to finger tip reach was around 79".
One thing to be aware of is in those days, fighters often reported a lower weight then their actual weight. Click on the below link and scroll down a bit to see the measurements. Also note the offical weight of the two going into the fight is higher than their reoported weight the two gave to the press.
I have a full round by round review of the fight, which I hope to post a bit later.
