Are there any...

great boxers who have small fists? My grandfather made it a point to tell me that all great boxers have big fists when I was young. Looking at the picture of AS and Sechew Powell produced this thread. Powell's hands are massive. Even though Powell isn't a great boxer, it made me think. From this tale of the tape Mayweather vs Hatton, fist: Floyd 8 inches, Ricky 11 1/2 inches. De La Hoya was listed as 9 inches. http://www.mlive.com/mayweather/

I remember Gatti having a small fist, Cotto too...Although they were made of stone, Duran too, had small fists... I'm just being silly.

Fists big and small. Many, though not all, from great fighters.To clarify, was it your observation that the fighters with bigger fists fared better in the ring that those of smaller fists?

Once a fighter's fists are wrapped in tape (the amount varies by individual) and the gloves are laced-on, it's the size of the glove that's deployed, not the fist. :boxing: :boxing: :boxing: I agree. There is so much more than the size of a person's fists that determine what type of fighter he is.

Chavez had notorious small hands. http://www.sat.lib.tx.us/Displays/Exhibits/LatinoSports/images/chavez_5050.jpg

To find what? Fists big and small. Many, though not all, from great fighters.

The size of a fighter's "heart" has more to do with his success or failure than the size of his fists. Once a fighter's fists are wrapped in tape (the amount varies by individual) and the gloves are laced-on, it's the size of the glove that's deployed, not the fist. :boxing: :boxing: :boxing:
