He had to be faster than that.

Prove it, or be proven a liar again.

Google Anthony Joshua 100 metres and prove me wrong, you filthy liar.

Anthony Joshua was not a sprint champion and that was just another lie you pulled out of your ass.

Just like the lies he said that Lennox Lewis whupped Mike Tyson in sparring back in the 80s, right?

And how about the lie that Kalan said that he saw Tony Zale vs Rocky Graziano fights I and II in a theater? That was 70 years ago!

Up yours idiot. This proves Joshua was Champion Sprinter of the Super Stars Competition. I'm sure he can run faster if he was pushed harder like Elvin Hayes was pushed when he won against Joe Frazier. Frazier was the slowest guy running against Hayes and was blown away by the field. You don't see Decathletes approach world records in any event. They're not specialists and have to compete in 10 events. But the champion is often called "The World's Greatest Athlete" because he's an all around athlete like Joshua.

Here Joshua was matched against the greatest athletes from other sports and beat them all. Some American boxers did so poorly in Super Stars it was a joke.

Joe Frazier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTKDDTI36yE was blown away like a turtle competing against greyhounds

I saw the Zale-Graziano trilogy in theater newsreels in the 50's... They often showed historical fights in movie theaters back then... Wasn't unusual.

As much as I disagree with Kalan on the general premise, and subscribe to the belief that performance in another area of expertise is fairly irrelevant, I have to admit, that is impressive!

You can't just brush a winning performance like that aside.

He's no Usain Bolt, which probably means that Usain could beat him in boxing.

Or do I have that wrong?

Up yours idiot. This proves Joshua was Champion Sprinter of the Super Stars Competition

champion sprinter of the super stars competition does not mean 'Champion Sprinter'

you are a filthy liar.

[Kalan]

You're a piece of filth period... What he did is damned impressive compared to slow pokes like Ali and Frazier did against other top athletes.

Is Anthony Joshua a sprinting champion, kalan?

[Kalan]

I believe he was in school.. I read something about him being a sprinting champion of something else besides that Super Stars competition.

But the thing I noticed about him in the ring is his feet are very quick for a big tall guy... Guys that big and tall are not as fast and athletic as AJ... I think he'd corner Ali on the ropes very quickly -- and absolutely destroy the weaker hitter with his superior hand speed while not expending himself.

I think this fight is fascinating---because Klitschko is much bigger, taller, and stronger than Ali ever was, and jabs and defends much better... He basically tries to beat you from the outside with his jab, straight right, and footwork---and clinches when you get close, which are all Ali trademarks.. And WK also lacks an inside game and body attack just like Ali did, and that's why he clinches so much.

But Klitschko has a dangerous left hook such as Ali never had -- and has more vast amateur and pro experience than Ali ever had.. It will be interesting to see how Joshua performs vs an ATG Heavyweight of this caliber so early in his career... Klitschko had 4 times as many amateur fights and this presents 2 Olympic Gold Medal winners.. Klitschko has 8 times as many professional rounds as Joshua so you'd think he'd be the master and AJ is the pupil.. He's even a little bigger and taller than AJ and physically put together a little better.. Let's see if AJ can turn all those disadvantages around and smash Klitschko out... This is a real interesting fight.
