    In boxing you need speed, agility and long term endurance from your legs, hence many boxers try to keep their legs as lean as possible. They are still very, very strong, but it's all functional muscle, and running 10k every other day only makes them thinner and stronger. You don't need big buff legs, per say, it all depends on your build and what works for you.

    Have you ever seen a pic of any of those 3? Maybe Vitali's legs could be considered a little skinny, but they ain't chicken fo sho. Wlad... absolutely not, and not surprising considering his footwork and mobility.
