For a while, he had made up his mind to pause his career, however after taking a break of over 8 months, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ realized that there is a lot left in him to offer. As of now, the Olympic medalist is back in rhythm. He has started his training in the gym. However, the pics of him circulating on social media caught the attention of fans for unbelievable legs.
Michael Benson of talk sport reported it on Twitter. He shared the picture of Wilder from the gym and wrote, “Deontay Wilder training with Michael Hunter today.”

Fans trolled Deontay Wilder for skinny legs
A fan wrote, “Wilder really needs to stop skipping leg day. Man’s got the skinniest legs in heavyweight history.” Well, it seems true to some extent.

Another fan backed Wilder for his legs. He gave the reasoning that legs are genetically affected no matter how much pressure you put on them.
When were you fucking idiots realize legs are genetic you can’t get bigger cash by working them out

Another fan suggested Wilder stop skipping leg days in the gym. According to this fan, if Wilder had stronger legs then certainly it would have enhanced his power in the punches.
My guy need to stop skipping leg days. Damn, he hits this hard with little legs, imagine if he had bigger and stronger legs to generate more power 😳

Another fan believed that Wilder was blessed with power. It has nothing to do with his legs.
Legs don’t equal power ffs you can have big legs and hit weak af but feel abit heavy due to weight of the person being heavy. This dude naturally hits hard. It’s in him. He has frrwksish power that doesn’t require science it’s just him being blessed

However, fans are right to some extent. Wilder’s legs are too skinny. But in the end, it depends on Wilder if he is able to move inside the ring comfortably or not.
