I remember someone commenting on one his fights mentioned his "thick" calves and said that's one of the reasons he is so quick on his feet and can dart in and out of range.

I have a feeling he's going to destroy Mayweather.

De la Hoya said that the calves are his biggest weapon, because they allow him to close the distance in a millisecond, and you never expect him to be in your face that quickly.

Oh brother.

I did think it was an odd thing for a TV commentator to say. I have found no relationship between the size of a boxers calves and the speed of his foot work.

Isn't there a term called "sprinter's calves" which means the calves are small and short and gives the impression of long skinny ankles and are usually associated with Black sprinters, the fastest runners in the world/

Exactly, makes much more sense.

That's Asians have the best genes, low and full calve insertions. But were shorted somewhere else...

this explains why all of the boxing champs are Asian.

You guys that are comparing sprinters speed to boxing quick feet really sound stupid. Totally different... Have you never heard of a quick running back with cat-like quickness that can avoid contact - but doesn't have great break away speed???    Come on - I know you can't be seriously making that argument

Pay attention. People are saying that his calves are the reason why he is quick. Grasping at straws. Chances are having low full calves are not the reason. Chances are he is quick, because he trained that way, and developed quickness.
