Why dont trainers put more emphasis on leg strength?

[shadeyfizzle]

Having larger, stronger quads and calves not only makes a fighter more explosive but also allows fighters to take a better punch.

Fighters with iron chins all have freakishly strong, developed leg muscles. So why dont more places put more emphasis on this the way the wildcard gym has for their fighters?

I feel you on this. I would expect less experienced trainers and fighters to work on more upperbody, but I don't know why they would think that's better. When Marquez goes up in weight, I hope he puts all his weight in his legs.
he can still keep his speed and probably have more spring to his legs also

The only fail here is you. Wanna know why hagler, duran, frazier, lamotta, jcc sr could take beatings without ever flinching but guys like hearns, khan etc cant? Think about it then shoot yourself.

actually more and more fighters are using a conditioning coach to strengthen their core and then a boxing trainer to go over game plan etc etc

Rios
Arreola
Angulo
Donaire

all utilize conditioning coaches and a lot of their aim focuses on the lower region to build a strong foundation

Margarito has chicken legs

[KnockUTheFukOut]

yeah it is a lot of CHICKEN LEG FIGHTERS! lol

even though I am a fan i was kinda laughing at how skinny Peter Quillin legs was during his fight this past Saturday


then you do have guys who probably spend too much time developing muscles and not enough time working on their SKILLS! a lot of these guys camp is pretty much just them "TRYING TO MAKE WEIGHT" they really don't get much time to study film and really work on their SKILLS!
