Quiet Sprintgeezer!
That looked offish to me. You just full of hate because you're old and can't run that fast.

You Fail.
Mo just ran 50.89 final 400m in a slow 5k in the European Team championships - 14:10 I think the time was. I saw the superstars on TV - Joshua is a good all round athlete. Farah's time was a little surprising, but not much - sprinting is totally different to distance running, looks like so much fail here from what I saw. Farah must have a lot of Type I/IIA and little Type IIB (sprinting muscle fibre), similar to a lot of 800m and up distance aerobic runners.

err...
you think the 6'6, 235+ superheavyweight gold medalist is small ???
he's 23y & when he turns pro & fills out even more to 245/250, within 2 - 3y will be challenging for the title with a good chance of winning it
+1
give Mo Farah a rolling start and I say he easily goes sub-12 100m

I will grant that it is not impossible for a guy of his size and training to run 11.53, just that it is not immediately believable.
RB's have a history of training in the sprints, whether they sleep on the HJ mat or not (BTW, ALL real sprinters have slept on the HJ mat at some point). They are selected, in part, for their 40-yd time.
While a boxer might rely somewhat on explosive ability, they don't train in short sprints as do RB's.
That, combined with the fact that this guy goes something like 240, is why it is initially unbelievable that he ran an 11.53
So what about this guy's prospects as a FB, if he just packs on another 30 lbs? That's a heck of a lot of inertia!
Joshua gets paid over $15 million for each fight. What times do you think they would be running in the 100m these days if DL 100m prizemoney etc was $15 million?
Plus Joshua was a talented sprinter as a teen. Also, he was/is almost certainly on more peds than the entire Jamaican sprint team circa 2008.
