I can't find a wingspan for Thuney as a comparison.

Interestingly, you look at someone like Trey Smith -- that's a broad damn dude. wingspan of 82 1/8 (so smaller than Jackson) and arm length of 33 3/4.

Quentin Nelson -- 82 5/8 and 33 3/4 respectively.

Someone like Leatherwood who's reach seemed to force him inside -- 84 5/5 and 33 7/8.

I mean you're not wrong -- the proportions don't seem to work out. I can't find anyone in the 83" wingspan range who's arms are shorter than 33.5 inches. I mean just trying to find arm lengths in the 32s is a struggle and brings me to guys like Joe Tippman and his 80 3/8 wingspan. Cody Mauch was 32 3/8 and 78 7/8.

Creed is at 32 1/2 w/ a 79 1/2 in wingspan.

I just can't find anything remotely comparable in trying to find a guy with a wingspan that long and arms that short. The proportions seem pretty much impossible. Even someone like Slater is at 80 1/8 and 33.

That 32.5 just seems wrong. That or he's just a damn strangely built guy -- but that would seem to run contrary to his relative effectiveness at the position over the last couple of years.

I'm more inclined to believe that the arm length measurement just isn't a good one and based on just about any other proportion I can find out there, if his wingspan is 83" (which would check out based on his height) then his arm length is likely to be in the 33.5-34 range.
