I'm not talking about acromegaly, or the criteria for being a giant. I'm just pointing out, that if you enlarge something (a cube, a car, an...
I completely agree... there's obviously no direct correlation between height and/or weight and hand size. Some have large hands for their size...
The point is, that you at first claimed: "Proportionally Shavers and Carnera have about the same sized fists for their total body size". You came...
It has nothing to do with strange formulas or population averages. It's just how things work. Imagine you have two cubes - one is twice as tall...

The first name that comes to mind is Al (Bummy) Davis, who in 1944 flattened Bob Montgomery at MSG in the opening round. But I see (BoxRec) that...

So what exactly are you suggesting then? Are you now saying, that for these cross era comparisons we should look at the boxers as they actually...
You're right, Usyk would likely not have been 215 lbs, if he had been part of the 1930s heavyweight scene... and possibly not even 6'3". He would...
This reminds me of the very last paragraph in A.J. Liebling's "The Sweet Science", from 1956 - where he reflects back to a 1923 card in Yankee...
You'd have to be completely blind, not to see the enormous evolution in gymnastics from the 50s until today! That's not to say a similar...
So you don't see any improvement in athletic ability in this video from the 1950s to the 2010s?
Sometimes I wonder, what these trolls get out of trying to defend obvious ridiculous opinions. If you're into boxing history, wouldn't it be more...
