Also the thickness of the bones in the hand should be noted. Some people have very thick individual finger bones. Likewise with the wrist, there are 2 bones I believe, and a gap between the 2. Someone can have thicker wrists bones but a smaller circumference depending on how the bones are made up and the distance between the 2.
Even regardless of circumference you can see Foremanās hands are not just larger in terms of taking up space but also heavier boned than Alis. Likewise Marciano, who had a small circumference but very thick bones that made up the composition. Especially in the photo of him holding Pattersons hand.
The bones of the hand are bones with a thickness, a density, that usually is congruent with the rest of the frame. The exception bein g those who build up bone mass through compound fractures which cause the bones to heal up bigger and stronger., more dense. A lot of hand conditioning is done this way and it is rumored secret training programs use this method to make a person's whole skeleton incredibly dense.
