    We know wrist size can be a valuable measurement for determining fighter success based on this article on Manny Pacquao's success based on his large skeleton making him the generally bigger man, against many of his opponents.

    https://www.badlefthook.com/2011/3/...manny-pacquiaos-body-has-tricked-analysts-and

    now with this assumption, could similar assumptions be made of hand size as well, determining skeletal size?

    In general I am curious what the average fist size per weight class is, and if it correlates to success in any way. I would assume it correlates to body size in general.

    Barry McGuigan has massive hands, bigger than a lot of men weight divisions above. Ive seen him in photos clenching a fist with other boxers far bigger and they are shovels in comparison

    Matthysse looks to have a good size fist, especially for a pretty small guy.

    Where's @BlizzyBlizz at.....he's the resident expert.

    Big enough to put their fist up your arse

    Bububy has massive wrists & big hands, will he be Heavyweight champion? How big we're Nichol's Hands? Probably twice the size of Wilders. Hand size is nice but there are other variables like foot size:D
