    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

    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

    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...
