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.

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.

You should check out the fist casts at the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Fists big and small. Many, though not all, from great fighters.

Tszyu, Mayweather.
Wlad does not really have big fists for his size.

Chavez had notorious small hands.

I agree. There is so much more than the size of a person's fists that determine what type of fighter he is.
