11 sec is very good for a man that size.

Be interesting to see whos the fastest boxer. I'd reckon a super middle tbh. Someone with the physique of the likes of James Degale, tall enough for the bigger strides but not carrying to much weight.

it was 11.53, but I agree that is still very good.

other Boxers have more natural Speed than he does but I'm still not sure if they ran faster. Joshua played Soccer as a kid which teaches you to sprint well. roy jones or floyd mayweather have more footspeed but do they have learned full stride sprinting mechanics which are very different from boxing footwork?

I would not be surprised if guys like RJJ or Ali would have been slower over 100m than Joshua.

This is very interesting. 11.53 is a very good time for a man of that size + a boxer.

And Mack would run under 10s, if Devon Alexander were chasing him.

Interesting question. Got me thinking about the average build of a 100m sprinter so I had a look at the 8 finalists from London 2012.

Average weight was 186lbs. Average of the top 4 was 195lbs.
Average height was 6'1. Average of the top 4 was 6'1 and 1/2.

Not sure if there's anyone in boxing who matches those measurements other than cruisers, the majority of whom have a completely different body shape to sprinters.

I'm no biologist but i don't think thats 100% accurate. As a user of the internet i've come across the odd image or video of a massive gaping rectum in my time and have a hard time believing they don't retract. Otherwise the feaces would just drop out.

Light heavies are typically around that weight come fight night after refuelling. Sprinters don't cut.

Is Devon Alexader correct? Surely your ringpiece spreads when you have a shyte and then goes back to standard. Obviously that's travelling in a different direction 50% of the time to a schlong. I have heard of gays having to use tampons having been fisted to the point of no return but thought it may be an urban myth.

Roy Jones in mid 90s was sure fast. Today, Andre Dirrell must be fast too

100 metres is a power event. Jones probably would have run very respectable times at 400 metres and perhaps 200 metres. But at 100 metres bigger, stronger bodies would have beaten him.

There are of course exceptions to the rule (or in this case the average). Usain Bolt being the best there is and standing 6ft 5 and weighing 207lbs.

But Joshua being a man of 233lbs and running as fast as being reported here is very impressive.

What do you mean sprinters dont cut? I am a sprinter myself ( 5'8 ) and my off-season weight is around 180lb.. then I cut down to 168lb when the races come.

I am still 19 years old so Ill probably weigh more than 175lb (Race shape) as the time passes.

You don't need to be big to sprint fast. Powell and Gatlin are big but Tyson gay is around 170 and ran under 9.8. Kim Collins is about 150 and ran sub 10 in his mid 30s, there are also plenty of women under 150 who ran 10.90 or slightly faster.

You can't generalize that.

It is all pretty hypothetical. We don't know if Jones had sprinting ability at all. But I have a feeling he would have excelled at 200 / 400 more so than 100.

You diet, you don't - or shouldn't -cut. Two different weight loss techniques that are not always mutually exclusive. Do a search to learn the difference between the two.

You said cutting weight, you did not mention what technique. And its not about diet, gaining Lb off-season has a purpose in track and field and that is to gain power when doing powerlifting (Thats what we do to increase leg power, squats-snatches etc) Then I cut down weight trying to MAINTAIN the power..
