    I sorta remember an interview about Holyfield.

    His opponents said that Holyfield doesnt really have the heaviest hands, oand didnt have unreal brute force with his punches, but they said his punches hurt the most.

    His punches always connected solidly, and even if it only hit your arms or shoulders, it would still wear you down.

    Old time writers compare Holyfield's solid impact punches to Marciano's punches.

    If you ever take a look at Evanders hands , Tony Tuckers hands and Duncan Dokiwaris hands, I know all three men quite well and they all 3 of em have very petite hands.. Yet they had fairly solid power..

    Imagine the full 220, 230 or 240 pounds of each man respective , thrown at full force and landing solidly, the poundage per square inch over the small fist surface area.. II suppose it would be like the power imposed by that of a sharp object like a chisel. as opposed to a hammer or something with a larger surface area.. Very good point..
