How is Anthony Joshua incredibility fast?

Fast compared to ? I am AJ fan took but like many have said he is not the fastest.. Wlad was way quicker with his punches.. Wilder has quick hands and so does Parker.. AJ would be ranked after these guys in terms of hand speed.. He has a good technique, balance and anticipation so that he can slip and counter.. Can we not talk about Martin and say he was quick to counter.. Martin and Brazeale are sh1tty boxers..

His speed dissipates after 4-6 rounds, during a intense fight! (This is something he really needs to work on improving!)...

Its not really hard to look fast at heavyweight, a lot of them are over 30 years old and 'Big-Baby' Miller weighed 300 pounds for his last fight. Now Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder is the 'Flash' of the HW's, people dont give him enough credit for that speed. I talked to Deontay yesterday (He lets me call him that) and he said himself that Joshua is the better man and would demolish him.

I thought Wlad was faster in spots, prime Wlad was worlds faster than any version of Joshua. Id say AJ is average for his size. Wlad was deceptively quick though. There was this misconception he was a big stiff robot but he was anything but. He was very quick with his feet too, not a dancer but the ability to step back and get in and out, he was pretty fast. I always felt that was what troubled Haye the most, or at least surprised Haye the most. Haye went into that fight thinking he was way faster than Wlad and found out it wasn't the case.

AJ is big, strong & packs a punch but he is NOT fast. When I was watching the Martin fight I realized that he is fast. Like scary fast for how big he is.

He isn't though

Genetics ,and LEAN muscle is more explosive in movements . No one honestly watches his fights if they say he isnt fast . Were those counter rights vs Martin (whos fast himself )SLOW ?how dumb are we as FANS ? WATCH the fights sober lol Go watch the Sprott fight where he throws a 10/15 punch combo in under 3 seconds ! Then get back too me !:pat: Exactly Jugg........exactly......SMH @ these fools

AJ is big, strong & packs a punch but he is NOT fast. For a 250 pounds man Joshua is very fast.He has a lot of power too that's right.

Good points made in this thread.

Genetics: muscle composition. fast twitch fibers. Also neural recruitment plays a role, how rapidly and effectively the motor cortex can stimulate bunches of muscle fibers contemporary, and is from genetic predisposition too. Muscles fibers are activated in bunches from the motor cortex and each bunch have a different activation treshold. If you are trained and predisposed to activate more bunches simultaneously, you have explosiveness and speed.
