it' is one of tha most important parts of ur body to punch hard

but remember it doesnt matter how BIG it is
it matters how strong it is

I guess you're right, it's the strength in the legs that mostly matters. any idea if boxers have a target when training in terms of leg size to upper body size? is there a standard proportion that they aim to achieve?

Yeah, It definitely is one of the most important parts of your body in Boxing. If you don't have leg power, you don't have any speed and strength behind your punch.

Some of the hardest hitting fighters of all-time had twigs for legs: Thomas Hearns, Carlos Monzon, Sandy Saddler, Bob Foster.
