    Why do people insist he's such a good athlete? He has size and good foot speed but doesn't have snap for one punch power, isn't that coordinated, doesn't have a good chin, and has bad stamina.

    What makes him so special? Is it just cause he has nice abs?

    Fast hands and power, also decent foot work for a big man

    I agree but they hype him up like he's this next level athlete. Wilder is a better athlete than him

    Put him on an athletics field and he runs faster, throws longer and jumps further than most. He is athletically genetically gifted.

    He’s very explosive for a big man. That sudden body attack in round 9 really caught Usyk off guard.

    People still think that muscles are a sign of athleticism, hes Bruno mark II.. Usyk is twice the athlete he is

    Exactly. Who decided abs are the best way to measure athleticism

    He's explosive but not Wilder explosive. Also his stamina is poor.

    People are seriously denying the athleticism of Joshua?

    He's big, fast, strong and explosive. He does have 1 punch KO power.

    He's not a fluid fighter like Usyk or Fury, but he is a gifted athlete.

    I've got no idea why you're under the impression Joshua's feet are fast (and good). His footwork is literally the weakest part of his skill set...
