If it wasn't for Pacquiao's legs--he would've lost to Cotto

[The Underboss]

If it wasn't for Pacquiao's legs, he would be in a wheelchair.

this made me laugh.

[Jambo boy]

thousands of reps of just standing and goin on your tiptoes and back with your feet flat on the floor.


that's the most logical thing.

With weights.

With weights.

yea.

those ankle weights would help too.

[hammerhiem]

it's hard to stand let alone fight without legs...

[shogunn]

good thing most humans are born with legs, or manny wouldnt be a boxer. Let alone walk

[Jambo boy]

it's hard to stand let alone fight without legs...

It depends if he has stumps to waddle on or not.

[Killa_Kali]

it would be hard too if pac had no arms to begin with.

Genetics. Most up an coming filipino fighters have big calves just like PAC... Concepcion, Amonsot, and Bautista are a few examples.

Calves = 'Slow twitch' muscle fibers. Therefore, it is unlikely that big calves alone will add any significant punching power.

However, if you train your hamstrings, quads and Glute's correctly (e.g. for power / explosive strength), then this can increase punching power, considerably.

Strong calves, will then provide a solid foundation from which to generate power from the hamstrings, quads and Glute's.

I've said this for the longest time
