  • I shook hands with Arguello once. The man's hands were massive.

    It made me wonder if that was a natural advantage or something that builds as you **** with your hands over a career.

    Alexis was no Trump for sure.

      does patterson have 9 inch fists then?? The tale of the tapes are probably the most misinformed, useless statistics one could imagine. Takes into no account proportions, build (some people are long necked and tall, others stocky) its like a BMi index and is simply a marketing tool. Not to mention the measurements are frequently innaccurate.

      View that photo. There is one fact we now have to understand. Either patterson has absolutely tiny fists, or Marciano has big fists. I’m not trying to be an *******, but if you genuinely believe Leonard and rocky have the same hands then you are lost in your way of thinking.

      Ali for example, did NOT have bigger hands than Foreman. ali didn’t have huge hands. Its probably possible to find a photo of the 2

      wow look at that! Directly comparing Formans and alis fists. Do Alis fists look bigger to you?

        So a photo of Patterson's closed fist next to Marciano's open hand (which, by the way, is closer to the camera!), gives us a better idea of how they compare, than the tale-of-the-tape measurements from the old Ring Record Books? Sometimes I wonder, if you're actually serious - or it's all a joke!

          Good news. If this turns out to be nothing more than an AI program used by Boxing Scence to promote activity, we don't have to worry about that AI 'takeover' everyone is frightened of.

          In fact, if Ascended is actually an AI program it's going to need our help just crossing the street for the next two hunderd years.

          The redundancy of these posts is so unnatural it feels like it has to be a machine.

            no, I have seen his youtube account. He’s just mentally slow. I question why he is on this forum. I am not joking either.

              Nah if thats how your perceive the photo thats the only part that’s laughable.

              Marcianos hands are clearly larger than Pattersons, it seems that was point Marciano is trying to make.

                Based on a photo that doesn't really show anything one way or the other, it's laughable not to agree, that Marchiano had bigger hands than Patterson?

                Why don't you just post a list of the heavyweight champ's measurements (including fist)? Let me guess...you can't find any, that backs up your point, right?

                  Liston's fist is larger, it clears Ali's knuckles on both sides. You can see how much larger each finger is.

                      You unquestionably believe anything that supports your hero worship and disbelieve anything that contradicts it.

                      I have been running into worshipping Marciano fans on boxing forums for years,I've even coined a name for them,"Rockistas".

                      Some of these Rockista's are so besotted by their hero they have convinced themselves he was a clever boxer with good defence,that he totally dominated every fight he was ever in,and that, as a 46 years old man he terrified Sonny Liston,you are in that category.

                      It's harmless adoration,but if you were a bit more realistic you wouldn't get so much flak from other posters,you seem like a decent guy and make some good posts,perhaps you could just ease up on the slavish Marciano idolatry a teeny bit?
