Rocky had big hands for his size but nothing like Dempsey, Liston, or Firpo.

If you think that's big, check out Louis' hands.

Tyson had pretty big ones too. It seems to me that powerfull punchers had bigger hands.

Denmpsey had some of the biggest hands for his size of any boxer I've ever seen pictures of.

I'm trying to find the one of Dempsey sitting down with Harry Wills as they sign the dotted lines for their fight (that never ended up happening unfortunately). You can get a good look at his mitts and they are huge. Also if you have A Flame of Pure Fire by Roger Kahn, check out the pic of Dempsey clenching his fist in front of the heavy bag. His hands were disproportionately huge.

I see that Jack didn't have his old hair style in this pic. I supposed he only did his hair like that during fights.

the G-mans were huge p4p the biggest!
liston had the biggest fist measurement of anychamp in the last 100 years at 15"

even primo caneras were smaller

anyone know how big valuevs are? all i know is that gloves look like mittens on him!

Actually Rubin Carter apparently had ridiculously huge hands for his size, just like the G-man. Luis Firpo was also reported to have HUGE hands, but he was just a massive guy all around.

Post-retirement Rocky was like a Soprano/Bobby Deniro type of guy.

Why do all the good die young and *******s like Bob Arum and Bert Sugar seem to live forever?

Bert Sugar makes me laugh sometimes...

Why is it you don't like him (purely out of curiousity)

Kid Achilles

Why would anyone call Bert Sugar an *******? He's a funny guy with a good sense of humor. How the hell can you compare him to Arum?

I think Bert is funny too but putting Mike Tyson #100 on the list of greatest of all time list is a pretty Ass-hole thing to do. It always pissed me off.

I'll have to look at his list but honestly anything higher than top 50 would be an insult to the other guys. Do you realize how many great fighters there have been in all the different weight classes? It's iffy if Tyson is even a top ten fighter in his own weight class and considering all the champions and contenders like Langford who were better than the champions, well it's tough to squeeze Mike in over guys who accomplished more and displayed the mental strength that Mike never had a great deal of. Fighting is 80-90% mental and Tyson's confidence issues were part of who he was as a fighter and a MAJOR shortcoming.
