    AJ is closer to 7-8% in bodyfat pre-fight (after training camp). Looks way softer at 10/11% in between fights, just by looking at his vacation pictures.

    Just for sake of comparison professional bodybuilders (with steroids & advanced cutting diet & starvation) can reach as low as 4.5/5%. Anything lower can be lethal because it will attack organ fat tissue which is vital.

    A boxer with 7-8& bodyfat at 250 pounds is not natural. It's not possible without drugs.

    That's bigger than the biggest natural bodybuilders in the world.

    Why is there even a debate about this? HGH and Insulin are undetectable in urine, numerous ways to mask test and roids. Saying it's down to 'genetics' that a dude piles on 30lbs of lean muscle in a short period is BS. Femi has a roid jaw also, borrowed straight from Wach.

    Doesn't AJ still have random blood and urine tests 365 days a year due to the BBBOC? Same as when he was an amateur?
    Don't think it's like it is in the USA where you can go full Floyd and juice up, then announce a fight with testing a month before you get in the ring.

    Until he's caught or there is any form of incriminating evidence I'll assume he's clean. I'll ignore the opinion of some noob on here who says he's been training 3 years and it can't be natural... 3 years! Pmsl

    Just because you have **** genetics doesn't mean other people don't.

    I don't think Joshua's physique points to 'roids necessarily at all.
    Contrary to what people say, he hasn't got that extreme bodybuilder/pro-wrestler type bloated mass.
    He's 6'6, and a big frame, carrying 247 lean pounds. Yes, he's a specimen. But not a swollen freak.
    Most 6'6 men with decent bone structure should be able to build themselves up to 240+ lean pounds.
    And low body fat is just genetics and diet.

    Having said that, I guess all the professionals are on the juice.
    And Joshua was lifting weights in the gym before he even entered a boxing gym. 'Roids are widespread in society, among the male gym-going population. So possible he was on PEDs before he even started boxing.
    'Roids are just part of life.
    But it's wrong to think everyone with muscles or a good physique is on them.

    I honestly have a friend with an extremely similar build to Joshua and I know for a fact that's it's purely genetics. He's 6"4" and 250lbs pure muscle and ripped as hell and he hasn't worked out regularly since high school which quite fascinating because he's 33 years old. He eats whatever he wants and smokes weed all day. It's very possible to be that size without peds.

    Must be all white people on this forum. Anyone with black family or friends knows people who are big and ripped and don't even train much. Just some bench press and pull ups and ****. Them african genes are strong af.

    Posts like these are infuriating. I've been working out for years and NONE of this is even remotely realistic. It's honestly disrespectful towards any natural bodybuilder that you claim some random buddy just got a Hercules shape by accident. Ludicrous. Unless you commit to bodybuildy 25/7 FOR YEARS you are absolutely under no circumstances ever going to achieve a body remotely as good as Joshua's. You have to train your ass off and care about your nutrition virtually all the time. Your story utter BS. Absolutely everything about it is a lie. It is totally evident you have never seen a gym from the inside. Any body builder would spit in your face if you told him this rubbish:

    "He's 6"4" and 250lbs pure muscle and ripped as hell and he hasn't worked out regularly since high school which quite fascinating because he's 33 years old. He eats whatever he wants and smokes weed all day. It's very possible to be that size without peds."

    Possibly the most re****ed comment i have ever seen on this forum. I am not even sure what you are trying to imply. For a start the US president is black and that doesn't imply black people rule over white people either, both premises are as re****ed as your post.

    People with **** genetics are always in the strongest denial. Claim to have worked out for years, but never met another soul in their gym that got big without peds. They are either socialy awkward and never meet new people or they are in such denial they refuse to admit AJ's body is possible naturally so they make up story's why its impossible.

    The fact that hes 6ft 6 with a large broad frame gives him an advantage over 95% of gym goers from the get go. Don't try and compare you manlet frames ability to pack on muscle compare to somebody like him

    Not everybody has usain bolts genetics to run so fast, not everybody has AJ's genetics, stop screaming peds based on pure speculation. Some people are just genetically elite get over it .
