    Is there a link between hand size and punching power?

    And are fighters called heavy handed.. literally heavy handed?

    I mean hand size as a whole length and breadth.

    I notice pacman has rather big hands, Maidana has huge goofy hands with goofy freaky ass knuckles while guys like Malignaggi and Floyd have feminine fine hands..

    I also notice this in myself I have a rather broad longish hand, feels rather empowering when I shake another mans hand and engulf his hand with my big manly hands. I also have a big punch.

          Bone mineral density, arm length, hand size (breadth and height), technique and physical strength.

            Pacman is a giant dwarf, short stocky, with a square muscular jaw and wide face. Most Chinese are built like zou shining with fragile bones. PAC is built like a caveman. Wide ankles and wrists. He is just a genetic freak

            But PAC has strong bones, he has never broken his hands in a fight or hitting the heavy bag full blast, Floyd and Pauline have skinny feminine girl hands, and break their hands a lot. Bone strength and density determines how you can handle punching, Floyd and Pauline have brittle hands.

                  I say yes there is a correlation between hand size and punching power. Let's take Felix Tito Trinidad as an example: From 147-154 lbs he was decapitating opponents with just the sheer weight and size of his punches but as soon as he began to campaign above the Super welterweight division as the naturally smaller man, his punches started to lose a lot of its pop and snap on them as he would punch men who had hands naturally larger hands than his like Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones, Jr.

                    Big hands = big ****.

                    Floyd has very fine, small hands.
