    I've always thought most boxers legs are too thin except Manny's and some others.
    I think top heavies are more likely to go down

    look at Khan pre roach and Ariza, he had problems taking a shot and one of the first things they did was remove bulk from his top half and put it on his legs.

    Now im not saying he has a chin like Oliver Mccall now but it has definately improved

    Thomas Hearns skinny legs suspect jaw, makes sense that strong legs can help you take a punch

    Mike Tyson had some pretty sturdy legs, but he was built all around.
    Margarito had some chicken legs though in contrast
