    Default Does Sonny Liston Still hold the record for biggest fist?

    I have an old Encyclopedia of Boxing from 1983, and in it it gives the measurements of all the HW champs up until then. One that sticks out though is Sonny Liston's fist, it measured a full 15", the only man that came close upto then was Carnera at 14 3/4 inches. The rest are a full inch behind at least and even big guys like John Tate are 2 inches behind!

    Does anyone know if Sonny Liston still holds the record?

    Ive seen him measured at 14 1/2 but not 15. 15" is one hell of a fist though!

    Yeah it's no wonder he clubbed Patterson down twice the way he did.

    True its a huge fist
    But the size of your fist does not necessarily mean you have big power

    Just had a look at Foreman's and as of 1983 it hasd only been measured at 12" don't know if it had grown with him by the time he fought Moorer.
