Does bigger hands mean more punching power?

only for the fighter in question. everyone is born with the natural ability to punch just so hard, a bigger hand wont improve his ability to punch, but it will increase the impact of his level of ability to punch.

 

you for example? you didnt add **** but complain about the sand in your vagina.
too much stupid in your comparison to even begin to eplain it.

 

valuev dont hit like a sledgehamma

 

he also arm punches in slow motion.

 

If someone punches properly, meaning they are able to throw a punch with
all the body behind it and not just an arm punch, the size and weight of a
hand should not matter much in total punching power. Fighters of the same
weight and the same skeletal make up, should be able to generate the same
kind of force on impact, with proper technique.

However, how the force is delivered does change a bit with hand size, even if
it's mostly negligible with boxing gloves on. A smaller hand would do more
cutting/breaking damage because of a higher force per square inch. Taken to
the extreme in a fantasy hand to hand match, a tiny hand would puncture the
skin and break bones (and possibly destroy anything beyond skin and bones),
while a larger hand would do more concussive type damage, shaking the body
of impact as a whole.

 

In some cases I do think it's a factor:

George Foreman is a big-boned individual, and his hands are about the size of canned hams. I remember HBO showed him getting gloved for one of his fights and it took two people pulling as hard as they could to get his hand into the glove -- it completely overfilled the space inside and stretched the leather to its limits.

So getting his by George is a lot like getting clubbed upside the head with a small bowling ball, and the padding over the glove is stretched thinner so there's less cushion.

 

a sledge hammer is more destructive than a ball pin hammer even if you use the same force to slam it.

 

Wrong, a pin hammer is more destructive to the area it hits,if equal total force is applied. The force per square inch will be much higher with the pin hammer. (if the same mass is behind it the the total force should be equal with same technique)

 

Your physics may be correct, but try stopping a battleship with a slingshot.

 

negative, you can test your theory. get a bar of steel the width of a ball pin hammer and push the head of the ball pin hammer as hard as you can into it. now push the head of a sledge hammer as hard as you can into an identical steel bar and see which one bends the most.

 

As I said the larger hand would do more concussive damage (ko likely), but in your battleship analogy, the slingshot would go right through it. While the sledgehammer would bounce off it and slow it down ever so little.

 

The pin hammer would do more damage, equal force applied. If you swing a
sledgehammer however, or a pin hammer, of course the sledgehammer will do
more damage, because you generate much more force due to the mass of the
hammer. This would be an arm punch , translated to boxing however.

Try imagining hitting someone with an icepick protruding from your fist , or a
person shaped slate of metal tied to it. The icepick will destroy anything in its
path like a bullet, while the person shaped piece of metal will hit every part of
his body at the same time, resulting in a mere push.

 

i didnt say swing, i said push, so the strenght used to strike the bar would be equal in both instances but the inertia would not. the more mass, or bigger hands, the more power generated to move through the object being hit. thats why you dont use hollow balls for bowling and why a 1 ounce meteorite doesnt penetrate the earth as much as 1lb one.

 

That's just silly, try pushing a coin into a wood floor, or a thumbtack. Which wins?
Your analogy of meteorites is broken; first of all they both penetrate the earth,
second the 1 lb meteorite has 16 times as much force, due to it having 16 times
more mass.

Are you trolling?
