    Nothing wrong with that, don't get me wrong i'm not saying he would have been the british Usain Bolt but he could
    have been an elite european level guy, i think he could have ran the 100m in around 10 seconds if he would have
    concentrated exclusively on sprinting.

    Will Joshua hype rise to Federer proportions before the end of the year? Only time will tell.

    Guess it is not really hype when you have accomplished so much. Joshua proved himself to me with the fight against Wlad. It is just the dread of reading another thread about how Federer would beat Gandhi at chess, and so on. Ridiculous. Not quite there yet with Joshua.

    If so athletic then why is he so upright and stiff in the ring?

    Looking at under 8 seconds easily if you tell AJ there's naked Adam Smith right behind him.

    Corrie Sanders was able to run it in 11 flat.

    I bet Wilder could run 10.50.

    9.50 if you put Povetkin running behind him.

    11.5 in wet conditions for a person who is not a track athlete is seriously rapid, absolutely ridiculous to be honest.

    AJ could make an awesome NFL tight end if he ever gets tired of boxing.

    Sanders ran a sub 11 sec time according to the information I've seen.

    Sub 10 is pretty ludicrous to even jokingly throw out there. About 120 men have ever gone sub 10, something like 20-30 of them ever went sub 9.9. And those are the highest of elite level sprinters over the last 4 decades. Sub 10 ....lolz. Realistically maybe low 11's, with a chance for sub 11 for AJ. Impressive as it is, there's NFL linebackers who possess AJ type speed.

    11.5 seconds? Thats nothing. Stick a prime Pacquiao behind Floyd and watch him go.

    Edit: Just realised someone already did a variant of this joke. I respectfully withdraw the above.
