Does wilder train legs at all?

[Lance98]

I don't think it's the legs. It's his poor stance and pacing. You don't need muscular legs for that.

I don't think Wilder knows much about training and not sure if Scott does or Wilder would listen to him. You don't need weights to train as a boxer. In fact it can be bad for some fighters. Whatever Wilder is doing it is not working because he was gassed way too early this last fight. What surprises me is his ability to take a punch with the support he has underneath him.

Yes, I think that this greatly affects him as a boxer. Moreover I think that this is a prime reason of his inability to learn and execute a proper boxing technique. He lacks strength in legs, because of it his legs are always tense in order to compensate the lack of strength. And you can't have a proper boxing technique if your legs are always tense. Moreover, he compensates his lack of strenght by using in the footwork such muscles which are not meant to be used in it. So this also makes his technique awkward.
So I think that in order to have a proper technique it is necessary to work a lot on a strength of his legs.

All boxers use weight to some degree. Specially heavyweights.

Deontay dictates his own training camps and doesn't like the leg work and he's got away with it for so long and blamed everybody else for his failures he hasn't seen the need to change.

Many blacks have skinny calves it’s genetics

while asians tend to have fat calves

Well I'm not one of those Asians. I have those Michael Jordan skinny legs and Tyson Fury belly.

Putting on some muscle on his legs would not matter. Balance is something he does not have, you cant train that part of your brain, you either have it or you don't.

I agree. Just not using leg press machines or weights as OP stated. There are plenty of things one can do without weights to build strength and stamina needed for boxing.
