    I don't think Pavlik has skinny legs. I know he is more 'bottom heavy' than Taylor.

    Legs have something to do with endurance because once your legs go everything else goes ... as far as the chin ... the neck has everything to do with the chin and confidence that you can take a punch ... some of the best chin'd fighters have some of the thickest, strongest necks - and they often times work on building up the neck muscles.

    Legs also have something to do with Punching power ... look at Pacquiao's legs ... he has the legs of a man 2wice his size ... and he can get good range of motion when he turns his hips into a punch ... his accurracy makes it that much better.

    Pavlik isn't that skinny ... and I bet he has very tough expandable muscle fibers in that long rangy body of his.
