I know people don't want to admit that bicep/lats/trap/chest/back size matters way more in fighting compared to legs.
I know the cool thing to say is "The power comes from the ass/legs, they hit harder!!!" LMFAO...Lets look at the best punchers in history.
People will claim that tyson got most of his power from his massive legs...I disagree....Tyson had p4p one of the best upperbodies in boxing ever, best biceps as well....Nobody came close to his power.
I seen plenty of boxers with great lower legs like tyson.....None of them hit close as hard as tyson
Costa is another example...Just look at how big/shredded he is on his upper body...Now look at his legs...Sure his legs aren't small but they aren't great either....Costa knows that a huge upperbody = Power
Fedor is another one....Didn't give a damn about lowerbody...Sure he was a fatty but most of that fat was on his upperbody which gave em power.
Robbie.....Leg day not even once....Great upperbody/biceps...Good V Taper.
Hendo proved Calfs don't matter at all in MMA
Huge upperback/body compared to legs....No Calf Master Race.
Wilder, one of the heaviest hitters of all time has no calfs and very small legs....His body tho, is 100% HW/LHW.......No calf master race strikes again...legs dont matter much when it comes to punching power.
(Thanks to the sherbros in this thread who reminded me of deantay wilder)
inb4 people post pics of fighters who have massive legs but also had a massive upperbody but claim their power comes from the legs lol.
Now I know we live in the age of Squats/Deadlifts are the best, and massive legs are amazing.....but reality is, upperbody matters way much more, no matter how many facebook memes say otherwise and talk about leg day and shit.
