Average reach at various heights?

I'm 5'6 and have a 72'' reach, which is weird for my height
 
This has turned into a dick waving contest. 5'5 with the reach of someone 7-8 inches taller than you? Doubt that, especially coming from so many people.
 
I'm approximately 6'0 tall, and have a shorter than average reach of 67 inches. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the average reach is for men of various heights.

I don't know, but I'm 5'10" with 76.1"
 
Height - Average reach
6'3" - 75 inches
6'2" - 74 inches
6'1" - 73 inches
6'0" - 72 inches
5'11" - 71 inches
5'10" - 70 inches
5'9" - 69 inches
5'8" - 68 inches
you get the drill ?...

Now, IMHO, the way reach is measured, I think it is very overrated as a numeric stat.
let's say both fighters are 5'11". Fighter A has a 73 inches reach and Fighter B has a 69 inches reach. on paper you would say Fighter A has a 4 inches reach advantage... wow big deal /sarcasm.

If you break it down: since reach is measured from finger tip to finger tip, the 4 inches advantage then becomes a 2 inches advantage (because last time I checked, human beings do have 2 arms). further more, let's say Fighter A has a wider shoulder span than Fighter B... Fighter B could possibly have longer arms than his opponent even tho on paper he has a 4 inches disadvantage.

food for thought.

BTW this is my first post. nice to be here guys ! :icon_lol:
 
I am like 6-6'2" lol not sure but i have a 73.5" reach, broad shoulders, small fingers....damn you mother nature!
 
5'7 here with a 71" reach.

My arms are kinda long but my shoulders and back are pretty wide for my body frame. :icon_twis
 
6 foot 72 inches, but I have narrow shoulder, wich makes my arms longer than average.
 
i find it hard to believe that everyone's reach is at least 9 inches longer than their average.
 
I'm 6'0 with a 76 inch wingspan, and a majority of it is not taken up by my chest like Brock Lesnar
 
6'1, 77" reach. i love hitting people when they can't hit me. :)
