    He's like the UK version of Ivan Drago.

    That's what I thought. The guy in the picture is in good shape but looks totally natural. Joshua's muscles are way bigger and out of proportion with his body.

    If you want to see some great examples of athletes, specifically boxers bodies from the late 1800s and early 1900s I posted a lot of links in this old thread http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=501430 about whether modern boxers are more fit than old time boxers.

    The top p4p ones aren't usually even the most well muscled.

    Specifically, Young Peter Jackson and Battling Siki are in incredible shape.

    But even they aren't as ridiculous as Joshua looks right now. He looks like a comicbook character.

    Excellent post. Those pics show what true natural athletes look like.

    What are you talking about? Joshua would need to eat 4000-5000 calories per day in addition to basically exercising for muscle growth x times a week in addition to being a professional HW boxer. It is impossible. Being this huge makes bulking to comic book protagonist size (like Joshua is) virtually unattainable and unsustainable. Your muscles are simply bigger which is why you have to train harder and eat more for the proportionally same shape as some average 6'0 dude body builder.
    The African guy you posted pretty much showcases that you have no clue what you are talking about as there is absolutely no indication he is ANYWHERE near 6'7. Hell, he could pretty small for all we know. How about you show us pre-1930 pictures of someone who is Joshua's size with his gains? Hint: There are none.

    His body is unattainable. It's, like, not even close to attainable for a 6'7 which is why I'm pretty sure you are fat sack of **** who has never stepped into a gym but yeah.

    The mere fact you consider him a natty makes me laugh honestly. Don't get me wrong, everybody juices. You can't be a pro athlete and not be on gear, it's impossible. If you ain't juiced, your opponent is. Lower level tournaments feature no drug testing so how did your clean future world champion get past these guys without roiding? He didn't. He juices and everybody else does as well.

    You can't say that on here,to think that Golovkin or nones favourite boxer would resort to this to compete is blasphemous lol?

    At the end of the day those that are shocked or refuse to believe it just don't understand that world,I've seen interviews with top 100 mtr sprinters who got caught and to this day they refuse to look at it as cheating because those in tenth place were doing it also,it's just how it is and the big sports companies know it but just don't expect any help when caught.

    **** no! He looks nothing like he did at the Olympics. They test for roids at the Olympics.

    His upper body isn't much more different than Haye or Wilder, he's just naturally a bigger man than the two. Why is it that we automatically assume steroids when we see it on HWs, but lower weight guys can be ripped and nobody bats an eye?

    Because it's harder to put on distinct mass when you're taller and longer limbed. That you don't know this means you've clearly never done any weight lifting.

    And his body way, way different from Wilder. To the point where I think you need either your brain or your eyes checked.

    Joshua is a massive PED user even by HW boxer standards. The U.K. no doubt gives him the no testing for you, or if you **** hot the positive test will disapear, Mayweather treatment we give him over here.

    joshua is probably on coctail of gear such as;

    TEST
    HGH
    IGF-1
    Masteron
    Winstrol
    EPO
    Halotestin or Cheque drops before the fight.

    Probably even uses insulin.

    Having the same body types, it's the exact same for a 5' 1" guy to put on 20lbs of muscle mass as it is for a 7' 1" guy, it just makes less noticeable difference.

    To say that there's a blanket difficulty for everyone is ridiculous. Some people are naturally beefy. Joshua could be a big fat howker with no exercise for all we know. To get to his size would require a lot of work initially, but it wouldn't require even close to 7000 calories a day or whatever BS is being spouted on here just to maintain it.
