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

[krispy kreme]

I said this before, but Pacquiao's legs have always been huge for his size. A lot of Filipino fighters have large calves.

Clottey has some large caffs too son. I've seen him training at John's gym and he I heard stories that he runs from his house to the gym everyday and then starts training right away, that's why he's in such great shape.

I think running and playing soccer will improve your calf size too, it's not only genetics

Yeah, I think it attributes to his punch resistance and strength. He plays soccer as well, I think even before boxing.

Hamed had a pair of the biggest legs I've ever seen. You could have parked a truck on top of them.

They were the source of most of Hamed's explosive power. Every punch seemed to start somewhere near his ankles.

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

You're absolutely right.lolol

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.

Yeah. I agree.
