Anthony Joshua runs 100m in 11.5 second video. Most athletic heavyweight of all time.

    I always saw the BS hype he got for what it was. And KNEW one day either Usyk or Fury would get rid of his unwarranted hype. He was basically gifted a gold medal at the London Olympics.

    41 years old Wlad who was two years rusty when he fought Joshua almost did it. But unfortunately the hype got wayyyy out of hand after that fight. Glad Usyk ended it completely.

    I'm waiting for Joshua vs Usyk 3, where Eddie Hearns pulls out the fine print which says the belt is actually decided by a 100m sprint.

    You're a good athlete to run that
    My best friend ran similar times and he competed in school also

    I was better at 200m but never was timed

    23 seconds school level was quick. You must have been a pretty quick 100m guy to run that?
    At least under 12 seconds or thereabouts?

    I scored just below 12 seconds in 100m, there was a guy in my year who had an insane 40 yard dash time and he beat me on sports day lol

    He's a beast over short distances, but long distance he's not great.

    no your 100 meter sprint ist probably the most unimportant distance that you can run as a pro boxer

    He would have been great in such a pure technique driven event like 100m

    Everyone with two eyes and a brain knows that AJ is one of the greatest ATHLETES of all time in the sports of boxing and maybe even in general. He still got outboxed twice by a former Middleweight and knocked the **** out by an overweighed Taco Bell buffet fanatic.

    He's super overrated in the art of boxing. He can't box to save is life. He's robotic. And he has no inside game. I admit he looked improved against Usyk 2 which i like. If someone improves at this point in his career it's a good sign. I give him credits. I dislike his fake personality though and despite the fact that he's a superb athlete i don't think people will remember his name in 100 years. He's neither a HOFer nor an ATG. But that's okay. Not everyone can be great in that way.

    For boxing, I think that the 10,000 m athletics race is more important than the 100 m.
