HW fist sizes

Whatever you guys do...do NOT google Yusaf Mack and fist

khawi leondard has got to have bigger hands than anybody in the division right now. his hands are comically large. he can palm a basketball like a baseball. I think Boban Marjanovic's hands might be the biggest in NBA history. But as far as boxing goes, Kawhi's hands are still probably bigger than anyone at HW. Insane how big some of these guys hands can get.

hasim rahman had about as big a hand as i have ever seen. primo carnera had huge hands. valuev is probably a good guess, that's just biology. i have big hands, usually wear an XL glove in anything, and they got totally swallowed up when i shook lennox lewis' hand. that guy is so f#cking big :lol1:! best way to measure hand size is to have them dip their hands in water up to the wrist and see how much water they displace. can't imagine anyone having bigger hands than rahman according to that metric.

Dude what the heck

I notice you're still trying to twist this into something other than what I said. HW has minimals now.....dumbass.....how do you expect much range in size when you no longer allow range in size? Still waiting on those fist sizes. So you do realize you have no modern era fighters on your list. Well done you.

Still don't see how any of this has anything to do with what I actually said, but you're wrong anyway......and not only are you stupid but you're also a sally. If you can't punch through foam you can't punch anyway. Foam spreading my fist over a 16once glove will react differently than foam of George's or Pac-Man's. I said smaller points of impact break ****...... You've said plenty but nothing to that point. You just keep going on about small handed KO artists like they don't exist....now how to cause a KO like that's the only way to finish a fight.....you are a moron. Tommy Ryan Charles McCoy Bob Fitzsimmons Barbados Walcott George Godfrey Sam Langford Joe Choynski Obie Walker Archie Moore Tom Sharkey Charles Kid McCoy invented the corkscrew punch...specifically to cut his opponents. Hardly ever did he actually flatten a man. Often did he make them bleed. Now, wipe the foam from your mouth, dust yourself off, and move it along son. You've a big mouth backed by little to no understanding and nothing more. I'm inclined to believe you're both stupid and hit like a little girl. I see no fist sizes stated. Also notice anything about the fighters you listed?

:lol1: You would do well to pay attention to the words I used. I can name some small fisted KO artists, but, first, I want you to help me out and explain how you took my first post as allusion to small fists are good for KO artists. 1) Size of the gloves are the same. 2) Knockouts are caused from force of the impact, not force by area. Now, name me those small fisted KO artist.

The IBOF has plaster casts of many fighters fists. Liston’s looks like a small turkey. Freakishly large.

Wilder seems to have small fists in his pictures. At best they’re average. Liston had legendary mitts. Here’s an excerpt from an interesting article by Bob O’ Donnell, taken from the Chicago Tribune: There was nothing unofficial about the size of Sonny Liston`s hands, which were so big he had to have boxing gloves specially made. Liston`s fists measured 15 inches and were the largest of any heavyweight champion. Primo Carnera came close at 14 inches, but he stood 6-5. Liston was 6-1. Mort Sharnik, the director of boxing for CBS, was with Sports Illustrated in the early `60s when Liston was terrorizing the sport and remembers the visible effect of those hands. Sharnik said, ''They looked like cannonballs when he made them into fists. Everything about Sonny was foreboding--his eyes were dark and often red --and his hands were an extension of that visage. ''He was the kind of puncher that just to look at him gave you a headache. His opponents used to say that his punches hurt like nothing they`d ever felt. His hands were a visible extension of this power.'' It`s doubtful the size of Liston`s hands had anything to do with his actual punching ability. Jack Dempsey`s fist was 11 inches, Rocky Marciano`s 11 and Joe Louis` 11. All three had lullaby power in either hand. Nigel Collins, editor of The Ring magazine, says of a fighter`s fist measurement: ''It`s about as important as the ankle measurement.''

Shannon Briggs looks like he's wearing boxing gloves when his hands are bare.

You should, you know, seek an education before talking about things you've hardly any understanding of. Sure name me some great knockout artist with small hands. Let see if your words hold water. I'm betting that you got ****:dunce:

You need Ring mag break downs of fighters I think. I'll look around my collection and see if I can't bring you some stats for the names you mentioned at least. All in all, fist size is usable on both ends of the spectrum. It's best to have large or small fists but not average. I think average is obvious, it offers no great advantage to be exploited. Large works like a sledgehammer. The added mass at the end of the arm does play a factor in both velocity and impact reaction. Small is like a ball-peen hammer. The lack of energy disbursement means less energy is needed to break through the same material. You need to stop making stuff up:dunce:

I've heard that the two biggest fist sizes belonged to Sonny Liston and George Foreman. I wonder if today's champs such as e.g. Fury or Joshua (who are much taller) have bigger fists. And what about such a genetic freak as Valuyev was ? Anyone knows something in this topic ? Valuev had the biggest size fist.
