Why do people keep on giving AJ **** about his physique?

Because he is a bodybuilder

 

Cos he is bodybuilder and it is easy to see.
Also here not always offense had been in meaning: in some! fight situations this is good thing not bad thing, sorry.
This also is nice looking body build, helping to get fans, followers and increase ppvs and tickets sales revenue.

Yeah it is but I don't agree completely nor about weight lifting nor static strength exercises.
I'm not against lifting, IRL I even had did Oly type lifts too, ofc not in level like high level weight lifters for sure, it is different sport.

 

A bodybuilder is someone who trains and 'cycles' primarily for physical appearance rather than athletic ability. The resulting body is big and well-proportioned, but rarely an accurate reflection of their strength or physical fitness.

Joshua has a bodybuilder's body, not an athlete's body, and it implies he is more interested in the vanity exercise of piling on muscle than in his performance in the ring.

This seemed to be confirmed when he exposed issues with stamina, stiffness, and chin, particularly with the Ruiz fight.

He has slimmed down since then and I don't feel that the assessment rings so true anymore, but you can understand the reason why people use this insult: he has a 'nice body' but it doesn't translate to much in the ring.

 

Bodybuilder and JD’s posterboy

 

Power isn't exactly the issue people have with him. The point is: if you have big muscles and a 'great body' but you can't last twelve moderate-pace rounds, move extremely well, or take a punch - this doesn't reflect well on you as a boxer and implies your interests in training are rather warped.

Plus, power doesn't have any real correlation with 'big muscles'. A good physique generally means you've been training more for endurance than strength. And even then, 'gym' strength doesn't correlate much with punch power. Body mass factors into it more clearly, but if that is your interest there's no difference between muscle mass and any other kind of mass. Muscle mass, if anything, tires faster.

 

This guy knows what he is talking about!

 

It’s boxing not a bodybuilding competition.

 

Muscles don't win fights

Especially at heavyweight

AJ has finally learnt that coming down to 240 from his 254 hulk mass.

You see the damage he put out on Usyk with barely any punches...why does he need stamina killing bulk when stamina is one of his biggest weaknesses.

 

I don't know much about Fury's gas tank, with a Hopkinsesque punch output and mostly even less , it would be a surprise if he wasn't able to go 12 without exerting himself.

 

Joshua needs to go back to taking roids.
