I'm simply saying this b/c eating a bareknuckle or MMA gloved shot while getting inside is much less appealing than the same with full sized boxing gloves.
Duane "Bang" Ludwig is a short-reach muay thai fighter with a decent punch, nothing spectacular though.

Actually I have met some vale tudo competitors who were stocky/short-reach and could hit hard.
