Armlength/Shoulder ratio, What are the benefits?

(1/2)m*v^(2) is energy.
m*v=momentum
There is no point of diminishing returns, unless mass somehow makes you less able to move your arms.

It's all about the mass behind the punch. All that other crap makes up tiny little differences when compared to the mass behind the punch and the speed. Long arms don't do crap if you can't get weight and speed into them. This is why huge dudes tend to punch harder.....the weight behind the punches and the ability to get some speed.
 
As long as you are somewhat strong an you swing through your target with your weight behind you then you should do some real damage. Thats why you see a lot of guys knock a guy out with one punch and they have two punches coming behind that one that hit the air where the head used to be.

Some guys put their hands on a guys head, others swing through the object without concern.
 
In regards to his fist size (and overal thickness), mass x velocity = energy. Of course there is a point of diminishing returns, but I don't know what it is. Look at ButterBean lol.

Butterbean hits like a truck

Yeah those look like weak punches to me. Jk the guy is an animal. :O

On another note Johnny Knoxville is one tough sob he took a few of those punches pretty well for an untrained guy (im guessing).
 
Momentum (p) = mass x velocity
Force (f) = mass x acceleration

Energy is potential or kinetic
Kinetic e = 1/2 mv^2
Potential e = mass x gravity x height
