Aspects of fighters bodies that made them superior

Junior Jones has those really high set, pointy shoulder which afforded him a massive frame and reach for such a small fighter and allowed him to get big leverage on his shots, which gave him power when his technique and stamina didn't really afford it. It also allowed him to add weight to his frame without becoming muscle bound.

It didn't help him become a great fighter but his very unorthodox body was certainly a massive factor in his career.

 

Winky Wright seemed to have the ability to cover his entire upper body and head with both arms.

Makes for a good defence.

 

tyson had the body of mike tyson, which was 220lb of pure super fast twitch type II fibre

how did the size of his hands help?

 

Id Imagine that for a naturally powerful man he can disperse his power over a larger area of your head causing more damage. just a thought?

 

Extra force/momentum on punches, like changing the head on a normal hammer for a larger, heavier one.

Harder to avoid as well

 

I think a lot of that is the way Winky holds his hand inside the glove when he is defending. He doesn't really make a fist, so the glove is about an inch and a half longer.

F = ma

 

Same goes for Glen Johnson.

 

Mayorga has absolutely massive hands aswell. That certainly contributed to his power in a significant way IMO, he's hit fighters with shots that didn't look remotely hard but would knock the opponent out.

 

Not convinced about big hands = more power.
