How this division is compiled
Every published fighter this site files under bantamweight boxing — 194 of them. Membership is stated by the source, never assigned to fill a cohort.
Reach advantage is (reach − height) ÷ height as a percentage, so fighters of different sizes compare directly.
Medians, not means — one outlier should not move the typical figure.
A cohort is only published at 30 fighters or more. Below that a median is a rumour, so no page is emitted and nothing links to one.
How many bantamweight boxing fighters have a reach on record?
70 of 194. Reach is stated in the English Wikipedia infobox for those and absent for the rest, so every reach figure on this page — including the median — describes only the 70. It is not extrapolated to the others.
What does the median reach advantage mean for bantamweight boxing?
That the typical bantamweight boxing fighter's reach exceeds their height by 1.81% of that height. It is a ratio rather than a raw span, so it compares directly against any other cohort on this site — which a reach in inches does not. Half of these fighters are above it and half below; it is not a standard or a target.
