Why do boxers have such tiny legs?

[Danny Gunz]

I dont get it with the exception of Manny Pacquiao and im sure other boxers Im not thinking of most guys have pencil thin legs. Even when I was boxing my trainer never made me do leg workouts I always did them on my own.

Having a strong base would greatly benefit the boxer and definitely improve punching power.

Any reason behind this?

Cuz they wanna be able to perform fast movements in the ring. Like Ali.

Weight is the big issue I think.

There is no one else legs as sculptured phisically like Pacquiao. Then people wonder why he destroys everyone and looks so amazing. His trainings are brutal and he trains every part of his body.

Agreed, and I'am fairly confident that his success has a lot to do with his strong base

if u look at pacman when he's training or working out he's always hopping on his toes thats why his legs are like tree trunk. if u look at a lot of boxers they usually are flat footed but with pacman when he's sparring, hitting the speed bag, heavy bag he's on his toes.
