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?
i was thinking Valuev but he only has a 14 incher ;D
Ive seen him measured at 14 1/2 but not 15. 15" is one hell of a fist though!Quote:

I know. I was actually only joking. But Liston could really punch.Quote:

Had me fooled I thought Carnera had the biggest fists.
No there is a quarter of an inch between them.Quote:

Theres a reason right there why his mom couldn't remember his birthday

George Foreman must be close. WHen Foreman was fighting Moorer the guardian or the times put a life size photo of Foremans hand in the paper and it was absolutely fucking huge.
I think Foreman's fist was 13 1/2"Quote:
