One thing I always hear people say "can't hit hard with these little hands"
Dominick Cruz made that statement and you always hear Rogan talking about if you don't have big hands its gonna be hard to be a power puncher
My opinion is while it may help to have bigger hands, its actually way far down on the list of attributes that lead to great punching power
Form/mechanics
Ability to generate torque with the hips
Strong footing
How hard you can ball up a fist (heard Hendo say this a lot)
Some of the greatest power punchers don't have big hands at all
Fedor
Daniel Cormier
Dan Henderson
Kelvin Gastelum
Johny Hendricks
Conor
These guys all have smallish hands and great punching power
What do you guys think?
