    Did you know Pacquiao has perhaps the best straight left in boxing? He is famous for that punch. It's his trade mark and the punch he floored Marquez with several times.

        Supposedly large calves add power to the jab and straight punches, I dunno whether that's the case or not but I recall Manny Steward mentioning that Prince Nas' power came from his calves!

            Asians usually have huge calves.

            Does Manny having big calves mean he has something that most black dudes with no calves don't have? I'm interested in answers
            asian needs those big calves to support their short legs and heavy upper body LOL.

                  those calves are the reason mannys chin is granite, they allow him to absorb better shots and keep him balanced. i also think he can generate more power and leverage.
