    Just because they’re defined doesn’t make them big. Plus, wilders shorts are twice as long so it’s hard to compare, but I’ve seen Ali pics at weigh in’s where he looked lean (defined) in the legs, but not big. Plus, in the position Ali is in in that picture your quads will naturally flex anyways.


    We can agree to disagree, I’m just saying it’s not the best pictures for comparison

      There is a video of Wilder-Joshua side by side work out and he does quite a bit of legs. But I'd really like to see him doing some Pacquiao like leg exercises. And he's been hurt by Molina but not down, so nothing like it

        That video doesn't tell how often he works his legs. If he works them hard & frequently enough, we'll be able to see the effect.

          That seemed to be his routine, some just don't have the genes of big legs. He was jumping like a child after 11 rounds against Duhaupas, so I guess the power is there

            Wilder has an athletic build. Very sinewy. His legs probably look skinnier than they really are because of his extreme height. Hearns had some sticks, but we all (er, many of us) know what a fearsome fighter he was. In fact, those two are a pretty good physical comparison.

              Wilder is not skinny, the dude is fairly wide and 6'7
              His low weight may be because of his skinny legs but he has a fairly large upperbody

                Ali's legs were not small at all

                  Some of you guys get too caught up in a boxers physic. Focus on what the boxer does in the ring, not what his body looks like.
