It's what made Stephen Silvagni so hard to play on.
While not super huge in the upper body he had great lower body power.
SOS's thighs doubled in size over his career to serve that very purpose...and he was the best at it.
While there is still a place in todays game for being good body on body, its relevance compared to SOSs era is reduced to next to nothing for the modern day players.
Simply the amount of contests where that becomes useful is a lot less than it was previously IMO.
