    I doubt you are correct. Thin people usually have better stamina.

    I really don't think the size of your leg muscles affect your cardio all that much. They may affect your running speed or how hard you can kick and they might well mean you have less balance than you would otherwise have - but most long distance runners have very slim calves and lower legs. It's not the end of the world.

    Wilders upperbody isn't very big.

    I don't know boxers leg measurements but someone like Paul Williams looked like he might have thin legs and his stamina was fine.

    Why don't you show me some examples of thin legged fighters with bad stamina or just name fighters with bad stamina and then check their leg sizes.

    I'm not sure he would be able to make 147 with his height if he didn't have some thin legs. Maybe Wilders ability to knock guys out quickly comes from his thin legs :think

    Feast your disgusting eyes on British fights for an endless adventure of blatant and shameless refereeing and judging.

    His thin legs will really only effect his balance and his strength in the clinches, I could see him getting out muscled in close.

    A lot of his power comes from his speed, combined with long levers, I don't think it factors into his power. Same with Hearns who was also rake thin, he had very long levers to create leverage and it allowed him to punch throw his target, that with his speed made him a big hitter.

    Even if Wilder does win tonight, he's still going to get badly exposed by Wlad or most of the other top 10 HWs.

    Wilder may turn out to be a top HW but I think its a shame but maybe a blessing he wasnt fighting in the tough HW European scene where HWs tend to get stepped up in their competition alot faster. Chances are he would have fought at least one of those fighters on that list in 32 fights

    A few hours away from the glass-jawed fraud being exposed.
