    Boxers dont work their legs. The only ones I have heard of doing so......are Hatton and some other brits. Generally, fighters only work their torso. Specifically Biceps, Triceps, Delts, traps, lats and pecs. Those are the only muscles you use in fighting.
    Yes they do. I heard if u have strong legs, you have a good chance of absorbing punches in the head.

      Well I personaly find legs that skinny (like nba players) very unhealthy, but he is an arm puncher and loosing the leg weight makes him more mobile and light.

      Keep in mind that with those legs he is 241 on fight night. If he had thick legs he'd be @ 265+ thats a lot of mass to move around.

        Run-Boxers work their legs like crazy, as if road work doesnt help them...Besides in boxing your base is the most important tool...If you dont have a strong base you will throw weak punches, For example Tszyu has one of the best bases in boxing; and if you dont have strong legs when you fatigue you will fall, as evident in the Corrales vs Mayweather fight for example.

          Not enough boxers work their legs. Strong legs, ab, and back muscles are better suited for boxing than huge pecs and biceps.

            You're SO funny. Wladimir Klitschko's sparring partner is Obed Sullivan.

                I like how you use "them" as though grouping them together, ignoring Wlad's brutal stoppage losses to Brewster and Sanders.

                      imo all the huge punchers have pretty big legs but there are ALWAYS exceptions. People like Viv Harris (who has the tiniest legs I have ever seen on a man his size) could DEFINITELY use leg strength for extra power.
