I'm pretty sure he is. Some posts like this are laughable, it gets me in shock and I dont even have strength to explain this. IF he asks such a silly question, there might not be a chance that he will actually get it, if some1 explains him.
I guess boxers run for fun))))Comment

size of the legs has more to do with the size of the bone structure. we all know boxers don't try to put that much weight and muscles in their body so they could get down in weight easier. pac is a big-boned guy that's why he has huge legs.Comment

Exactly and boxing is an anaerobic sport.
Yet they still become gassed at the end of 4 rounds.
No, their legs are just comically small. Boxing is the only modern sport that is so behind in training and nutrition and it has always bothered me to no end.
Most boxers clearly lack lower body strength and punching is a complex movement which involves the lower body, core, and upper body. So if the legs are as incredibly under developed as they are for most boxers serious power will be lost in the movement.
**** off pussy. The times are changing old school boxing is just that... old school. Running 7 miles then eating a steak dinner isnt the routine of a champion anymore. We are smarter then that.
Educate yourself:
Running 7 miles at a jog is an aerobic exercise. Throwing a flurry in boxing is anaerobic. By only running for conditioning it is not gonna effectively prepare you for a fight.not long distance runners?? ever box train before?go on a indian run then tell me thatComment

there are plenty of boxers with big legs too. Having weak legs will sap your stamina. that said the only reason i can think is making weight.
my coach always had me doing leg workouts. Burpees, running, skipping etc.
I agree though entensive leg workouts help a lot with boxing, I think Pacquiao is making his point.
ali naturally had big legs, so all the skipping (he used to skip for up to half an hour sometimes) and running, burpees...just made his legs stronger.
I find if you naturaly have slim legs, you should work on them a bit, it will improve your stamina and mobility.Comment

the anaerobic part is the sparring. the running is to help them (and the legs) in the later rounds. Thats why it doesn't help amatuers enough.Exactly and boxing is an anaerobic sport.

Boxing is not behind in training, all the top boxers have excellent training camps and i can't think of a single athlete in the world with better conditioning than Pacquiao or Mayweather.
In football you see them out of breath, same with basketball. MMA is probably the worst since most of them are just weight lifters.Last edited by them_apples; 10-19-2011, 06:20 PM.Comment

At the elite level the fighters are able to get better exercise and nutrition coaches. Such as Pacquiao and Khan working with Ariza and Victor Conte working with many boxers. My biggest qualm though is with amateur trainers who in my experience do not effectively work their fighters.
In regards to the MMA comment I disagree completely they are not just weightlifters at all.Comment
