Does having a big fist really translate to having a bigger punch?
I'm not sure it does at all... I'd like to see the evidence for this.

I know people like to refer to that defense as the "shoulder roll".....but it's REALLY called the "Philly Shell" defense........
The Philly Shell defense is an unorthodox defense requiring deft movements and quick reflexes, as the main distinguishing aspect of the defense lies in its use of the shoulder roll. The defense is also recognized by its unique placement of the boxer's hands, rather than keeping both hands up near the head, his or her lead hand is placed horizontal across the torso, and the back elbow resting on top of the lead fist, forming a L shape.
The Philly Shell defense, also known as the Hitman or Crab style defense, is a style of defense used by boxers to capitalize on counter opportunities. This style of defense was first popularized by Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns, who specialized in this defensive style and had an unique "flicker" jab. Current notable practitioners of this style include Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather and James "Lights Out" Toney.
