    Fury would definitely be better at tennis and basketball. Joshua looks unbelievably dysfunctional at basketball and I don't think he can ever be good

    No one says that Fury is a freak athlete

    You said Lewis looked clumsy against Tua. I said that's because Tua was throwing missiles. Lewis had to use every bit of his height and reach to stay out of range.

    Joshua was flinching at Usyk's arm punches. Joshua would be contorting into all kinds of shapes trying to avoid Tua's bombs. He takes a punch about as well as Tony Yoka these days.

    Tua is too slow it would be like Andy Ruiz fight

    I'm no Tua fan. But Tua's hooks weren't slow buzzing by Lennox's head. I was at that fight. Everyone held their breath every time Tua launched one. Lewis actually fought great. I don't know how Joshua "wins a lot more easily" than Lennox did.

    Lennox won 11 rounds on one card and 10 rounds on another.

    Ruiz knocked Joshua down four times and stopped him.

    And Tua wasn't a 300-pound blob against Lewis. Lewis actually outweighed him. 245 is pretty svelt these days.

    Maybe you should watch it again.

    I'm talking about the 2nd Ruiz fight. Ruiz has hand speed which Tua does not.

    You cant be a fast sprinter if you lack fast Twitch muscle fibers. Please explain to me how Joshua managed to be fast without Them?

    That's a decent time for a big clunky bodybuilder. I ran faster in my student days mind, although not by much.

    11.53 is a really good time. The track was also wet, so on a good day, he can probably hit 11.30.

    AJ is getting too much hate right now. If he wasn't a boxer, he'd probably be a beast of a Rugby player.

    AJ is explosive and athletic.

    Usyk is scrappy and a real gym rat. First one to arrive, last one to leave kind of guy.

    Did I do it right?

    He's obviously athletic but he absolutely does not have 1 KO power. Who has he KOd with one punch?

    Being athletic does not make you a good boxer and being a good boxer does not necessarily mean your athletic. Hes clearly gifted genetically and probably could have reached the highest level of competition in whatever sport he chose to pursue but also doesn't look very fluid or natural moving around

    Shame he's an absolutely useless dosser in his chosen field.
