    Exactly which is why I've repeatedly stated that it would make no difference. IF it did make even the slightest difference in anyway it would be in favour of the smaller fist, due to p=F/A. It's really not hard to understand.

    Have someone throw a rock at you, then have someone throw a slightly bigger rock at you. Find out which one hurts more. :deal

    Flawed example.

    If both rocks have equal kinetic energy I rather get hit by the bigger one.

    Then how is it a flawed example? If anything it'd prove your point. Do you think there's much of a difference if the other rock is slightly bigger?

    Their isn't.

    But rocks aint fists, they're also much more under influence of gravity while punching goes in a much straighter line.

    I would like to know Wladimir's fist size; seems enough big;
    aniway, the projectile analogy is wrong, since you don't THROW your own hand to your opponents, you more likely PUSH him fast; so i would say that a smaller hand would be more useful, since it develops a bigger pressure with the same power, unless it breaks more easily.

    Because they'd weigh a different amount you moron :patsch If they somehow weighed the same and they were thrown at the same speed then you'd want to be hit by the larger rock.

    Punching is absolutely a throwing motion, as is a kick. Anything that utilises the kinetic chain is a throw, a push is if everything contracts at the same time.

    bigger bones CAN support more muscle which are the source of power. bones cant do **** without muscle either. stop being a smartass you come off like a fool. way to run with it though :rofl:rofl

    Muscle isn't even the main source of power, tendons are. Bones do not do anything, their size is irrelevant. Bone density is important to withstand external force but bone has nothing to do with supporting muscle. You don't come off like a fool, you are a fool.
