chicken legs

How come boxers in the smaller weight classes don't work out their legs? For example, Jm Marquez Floyd Austin trout Tim bradley Adrien broner Danny garcia ggg I mean you would think in a sport where your legs are important they would work them out and make them stronger instead of just doing abs and shoulder/back work outs.

If you're talking about just calves, then it's because of genetics. Calves are extremely dependent on genetics

its called Genetics. size doesn't equal strength although it does help I work out 5 days a week(weights) outweigh floyd by 40 pounds and he has the same if not bigger calfs than me same with his neck once again read this and you have your answer

Being top heavy will tire you out faster as you it makes it harder to maintain balance. Having a strong core means nothing if you have weak legs.

I'm not saying they gotta be like Mr Olympia legs. But these guys look like they don't do anything. Not even a calf raise i just told you, to make weight

Don't need to. Bigger muscles make you tire easier. I'm not saying they gotta be like Mr Olympia legs. But these guys look like they don't do anything. Not even a calf raise

But wouldn't you think if they make their legs stronger they would be even better fighters. Instead they just neglect them.
