    Who gives a motherf*ck how much he can or can't squat? A boxer needs to mobile, he doesn't need to be able to lift hundreds of kilos with his legs. Nor does a boxer need to have "dat ass" so why would squatting matter?

    I don't think he can make deep squats with more than 220 lbs.

    look at Mike Tyson, even Muhamad Ali legs. They had some decent muscle mass on their legs.

    I think having good powerful legs can help you with the balance.

    it matters, anyone strong will be able to ragdoll him in the clinch

    Wlad would toss him around like a child

    Lets put it this way. Shawn porter and Sugar Shane can probably lift more than deontay.

    Tommy Hearns.....did alright with his skinny legs. Probably Wilder has a chin like Hearns also. But less boxing skills.

    Blacks tend to have skinny legs, or at least, almost always, skinny calves. It's just genetics. Not necessarily weak legs though.

    Hearns' beard wasn't that bad. If Wilder can proportionally take a punch as well as Hearns then he will beat Klitschko.

    Not as much as me. I'll kill that boy in the weight room all day everyday... make that with a minimum of 10 reps. He has no legs... I'll kill that boy in the weight room. That's where he has no game...

    Not only he exploded after the olympics, but his body fat percentage is insanely low, and probably the lowest in the entire division. You can't bulk like that while keeping such a body fat percentage.

    Less than a prime Matt Skelton but more than a shot Canelo Alvarez.
