Just look at those legs and calves. Wow. Not that you guys didn't know, but just sayin'.
Most of your punching power comes from your legs and technique to use those legs. I always laugh at the juice heads who just work out their upper body and arms and think they are going to knock someone out.
Id rather have 25" calves than 25" biceps.
what about dudes like gerald mcclellan though?

I prefer the looks of the thick legs but I know some dude at my gym he has legs that are skinny as **** and a massive upperbody. He is a pro and is a massive puncher. Mosley is another example of a skinny legged power puncher. The formula for punching power is the speed of the punch x the weight that is behind it. If you can fand a way to put maximum bodyweight into the punch it doesn't matter whether your legs/upperbody is bigger.
Yup my everyone on my mother side, super athletic with huge muscular legs and calves. My other brother got skinny legs though. Cramps are a *****.
Sorry I don't give a damn about your calves and family dude.
Yes Manny gets his power from his legs.....if you watch when he knocks people out he's actually jumping towards them with a punch. I'm sure he can't palm a basketball so I'm pretty sure he can dunk a volleyball on a regualtion basketball hoop.
Every fighter gets their power from there legs. If you dont plant and twist you get pillow punches, ex: Paulie "the Magic Man" Mallanagi

It's probably the reason why he can move up in weight without having a significant loss in handspeed
He's also got thick wrists, thick ankles, and a thick neck. The extra weight is just filling in his frame.

Damn, sick pic.
Some guys are just built like that, that's god's way of letting you know not to fuck with 'em. :lol1:
But other dudes like Tommy Hearns and Julian Jackson are built like toothpicks, and still pack that power to dim a dude's lights.
His legs are freakish.
Not surprising that he hits like a freight train.
Just look at prime Tyson's thighs and calves.
