    Calves don't win fights. Pacquiao also has a horrible glass jaw, he has been knocked out cold multiple times.

    Brandon Rios is a huge hitter, I think Rios can exploit Pacquiao's chin.

    In my estimation, it is most likely injections from a 3rd party source.

    Glass jaw.... yeh so everyone even ATGs have been knocked out hard so they have glass jaws? Your user name is mr glass :patsch

    By the way that is where all the power is coming from his calves with the positioning of his punches will have a harder impact.

    So, any strength training work that is focused on improving punching power should seek to develop the following broad muscle groups:

    The calves - That is where Pacquiao's power comes from when he is punching from different angles.
    The quads (front of the thighs)
    The abdomen (abs and obliques)
    The chest and shoulders
    The lats
    The triceps
    The forearms

    Pacquiao's muscular calves helps him plant and put everything into his punches.

    Too much size in those calves. My brother has similar build, massive calves and he can't play football/soccer for very long anymore. They tighten up and often cramp, anyone who's had leg cramps before know how painful that **** is. I get it sometimes but only if I do a lot of footwork drills and don't drink enough that day.

    Yep, I am not saying we're polynesian because most Polynesian mixed with Melenesian ( blacks in the pacific) and the Austronesians in Asia mixed with Chinese etc.But the language are still related and so on.

    If you look at the native houses, the out rigger canoes they are all similar in every culture and the tattoos, counting numbers is similar.Therefor came from similar roots our skin is brown and live on Islands.

    Austronesian people.

    No it isn't the reason. Paquiao has massive calves even compared to fighters his own size.
    Marquez and Bradly are bigger in the upper section, but has chicken legs compared to him.
    It's because nobody else has his magic footwork, and nobody else trains his legs and mid section like he does.

    In his training sessions he always spends a lot of time in doing excercises specific to legs and foot;
    that's also the reason why he can outreach anyone else, and his punches are so hurtful: not because of a-side muff or somefin', not because of "illegal martial arts techniques, bruce lee, anyone?" but because he is good in generating torque in every situation.

    like for example the New Zealand Haka.When they say Ka mate! Ka mate!

    We Austronesians can instantly know it's Kamatay Kamatay. To die, to die..
