I've said this for a long time and the sight of Usyk pushing him around in the clinch confirmed it.
Joshua is not a real siluoer heavyweight, even with still quite a lot of muscle on his body he weighed 238 (take off the clothes, headphones and ***elry)
If Joshua stopped weight training and bulking up he would be in the 220s, similar in weight to Usyk and Povetkin.
Lewis, the klitschkos and Fury are true super heavyweights, guys that would have to borderline make themselves ill to get below 240, they are all naturally 20lbs heavier than Joshua.
Joshua has narrow wrists, narrow shoulder bones, slender body type, I used to have a friend who was same height as me, 220lbs, didn't work out just a naturally big guy, and me being a slender guy even when I lifted weights for years, bulked up and was around the same weight as him, I could lift more in the gym than him for sure, had bigger muscles, LOOKED bigger but he still just had so much more functional strength than me.
Not a knock on Joshua but just an observation, I think if he stopped weight training he'd be a similar stature to Wilder.
