Thats about where I would have said Lennox's hands would measure.
Re: Does Sonny Liston Still hold the record for biggest fist?
I just found a picture of Liston shaking hands with Floyd Patterson (can a Mod embed this photo for me?)

It's like Floyd has little baby hands.

Actually, given two fighters with equal strength - the one with the smaller fist will hit with more force.
Mathematically, that's because the force of the blow has less surface area to be dissipated by.
Impact = Force
surface area
Re: Does Sonny Liston Still hold the record for biggest fist?
Impact yes but the momentum would be greater with a larger fighter and maybe the fist would have an effect.
So it would be best to have a large very powerful fighter with small very fast hands.

Although I think Elton John broke this record in the 80s surely Valuev has a bigger fist. Surely...
