Why do boxers have such tiny legs?

[noStylez]

And I also think that the reason why legs aren't that big is because food gets out from the butt and never makes it to the legs.

LOL !!
For realz man this right herr is the truth
Hahahha!

Asians have thicker calves which serve an evolutionary purpose for being shorter.

Look at South Koreans for example

Thats what bothers me though they arent long distance runners they are boxers. Why do these miles of roadwork if it is not going to help them that much.

running long miles of road work seems to be an established tradition in boxing

it's crazy you even see amateurs who only fight 3 or 4 rounds running 6 miles a day

Koreans aren't that short compared to other Asians. Actually I think they are the tallest.

great post..small doesnt =weak..as long as you're proportionate and put in the work you will be fine.Now some fighters do become top heavy and that isn't a good look

top heavy fighters appear to be prone to falling on their asses

Ortiz isn't too hard to put on the ground

Berto isn't either

Marquez isn't either

etc

how does having big calves help a short person?

No one specifically, just the majority of boxers have chicken legs and i never understood why

To be honest, I dont get your point at all?

should they have legs like bodybuilders have? or whats your point lol?

fighters are able to box and move around for 12 rounds. you say their legs tiny?

also, every one has different body, metabolism, diff training and routins.

i'd like to hear TS opinion. I guess boxers should be able to squad and lift big weights huh?

Technique also is key,
You can have a big guy throw a baseball that doesn't go far in distance and a smaller guy with technique throw the ball further.
Weight will help but if you're not utilizing proper technique an using the weight you won't get power.

Manny would be David Tua if he was a heavyweight. It's all in the genes.

Also boxing trunks are longer than in other fighting sports so all you see is the shin bones but if you watch weigh in pictures you'll see that a lot of boxers have very muscular thighs, you just don't see them when they fight.
