    Usyk is the superior athelete to Joshua.

    Also the body builder look = good athlete is a bogus relationship. For example Fury does not fall into the 'body builder look' but is a very good athlete for his size.

    I think Joshua won the revived UK "Superstars" competition in 2012. It was basically testing athletes from multiple sports in how well they can perform beyond their own sport. Track & field, kayaking, archery, gym tests, and some others according to IMDB.

    So AJ could probably beat Usyk at Crossfit. Or in a duel with bows and arrows.

    No need to be shy about this. "Athletic" is often used as a code word for "black." Even black people know this, and Key and Peele did a hilarious satire of it.

    No fault of Joshua's.

    Enjoy:

    He's not really fast. His combos are very good though. Smooth punching technique.

    You know who was an athletic boxer? Joe calzaghe. His punch output was higher than anyones and he never got tired. Also have very fast hands and feet.
