Hand Size...

Put it this way, do you think Naseem Hamed had massive hands? How about Tyson Fury compared to David Haye's?

 

Lol. Seems I struck a nerve

 

Seems like you are talking from experience.

 

Gonna say this is sounding very Blizzyish lol

 

It's a factor for sure but not the only one. Oscar DLH, Miguel Cotto, David tua, Tommy Morrison for example all had average or small hands

 

I would have thought after you account for wrapping and gloves, it's almost negligible....

 

I feel big hands does increase punching power to a degree, but it’s just one of many factors. Imagine somebody who has exceptionally large hands, wide shoulders, tall, perfect technique and fast hands. Now this person is also fast muscle twitch dominant (explosive) and heavily muscled, particularly in the upper body. Now he may have stamina issues, but I do NOT want to get hit by that guy.

 

Don't worry I have no intention too.....

 

Smaller hands cover a smaller surface area. so theoretically a harder punch, as to bigger hands where power is spread out over a bigger surface area. Then power punching with smaller hands may break easier. So many variables. Its best to wrap your hands could and work on technique and accuracy.

 

This always brings Blizzy out

Tony Bellew has small hands for his height/size and has always been a good puncher.

Its a bit of a myth me thinks.

 

Tysons fist weren't huge if I'm not mistaken?
