I should also add a couple of examples where legs in bad shape have had a devestating effect on fighters.

One that comes to mind is Tommy Hearns against Marvin Haglar. By Manny's account, Tommy's legs weren't there to begin with, what he blamed on a few guys massaging Tommy's legs before the fight. I don't know what did him in, but having noodles for legs didn't help him that night.

One bad legs in the making was Mike Tyson. His training shifted to the wost as his overall strategy began to fall apart. His muscles got bigger, but his legs got wider, he was beginning to lean and he was getting hit a lot more.

P.S. I haven't including sprinting in my workout, but I always love going flat out on the last stretch of my run. It leaves me feeling as cool as a narcisistic greek god on acid, while also leaving my mind so numb that dialing a phone number afterwards feels like calculus.

Not a smart move to treat a run like a race, but I'd be lieing if I said it's not fun.
