That might be impressive by British standards, but it's not that impressive by American Athlete standards.
For example an 11.45 second 100m time is equivalent to a 4.7 second 40 yard time. This was before he put on that extra weight. He must be even slower now. That type of speed couldn't get you into the NFL, or even the NBA. His vertical leap is also bad, as evidence by his inability to dunk a basketball at 6'6 with a running start.
I imagine Wilder has a superior vertical. Also, seeing as he was recruited to play football and basketball, his 100m is likely under 11 seconds.
Wilder is a superior athlete to Joshua. Is he a more technical boxer? No, but he's a superior athlete.
