Sorry but every boxer I know who takes the sport seriously (not necessarily high level but passionate amateurs) have no trouble breaking 18, the majority break 17. A “boxer” who can’t break 20 isn’t taking his training seriously, at least not cardio.
Link to race results for these pals of yours .
Found the guy who can't break 18. Did it ever occur to you that you just aren't that good?
The creepiest thing is his sex offender charges. They seem to pop up with no effort vs. his race results And boxing results. Hmmmm.?
He’s just another slow hobby jogger.
Ami right?

Yes he is, and can send you to a plastic surgeon easily.

Sure. It should be easy to provide that proof. Boxing is not running.
You must be quite the “runner” if you think breaking 17 or 18 is some great athletic achievement worthy of suspicion. Anyone with a lick of talent who is doing a lot of endurance training and is not overweight can run that. I basically stopped running cold turkey and got intro strength training, put on 25 pounds and 10 months later still ran low 17s on a whim (had been in the 14s before).

Prior to becoming a boxer Andy ran the 3000 in 8:30 high school, and has also run 30 flat for 10k. He's a one-off talent who excels at running not because he's a boxer, but in spite of it.

Exactly, boxing is not running which is why boxers do not participate in races but what they do is the road work, time trials on the road, hills, etc. I have proof on strata of three people in my martial arts group who have tempo’d sub 18 on the roads.
There was a junior boxing champion in the UK recently who recently turned up for his local Parkrun first time and won in 17 minutes or some such.
The Diaz brothers do far less running and biking than the average Strava Joe yet can turn up for a triathlon and put in a respectable performance.
There was some kid on this forum yesterday asking if core work was necessary for 5k and most of the replies answered no.

Bekele would be a good boxer and he's done 12:37. Bekele reminds me of Stalone in Rambo 2(Stallone is close to Bekele's age)

I remember seening Anthony Joshua, a boxing HEAVYWEIGHT, absolutely destroy Mo Farah in a 100m running race on a UK TV show. Farah is noted as being the best sprint finisher among the world's distance runners and yet he stood no chance. I could not understand what I saw - I had seen Peter Snell and Ivo van Damme hold their own against other sports stars in the 100m race on a similar type of TV show.

Sure, but they are not boxers and only three of them can do this.
There's a reason fighters go rounds rather than street fight style.
slow, but way better than you wrote:

I still can at 49. You're right, it is not good .

Do you mean he's more of a boxer than you are an astronaut?
If you were smart then you could have been an astronaut.

The reason for rounds is it makes for better action., like how much faster 10k races would be if runners were given 1 minute rests every 1k. Of course it would be no more exciting and no point in track, but rests in boxing allow the boxers to throw more punches and hit harder for a longer time. Also gives spectators a rest as well as the boxers. The MMA 5 minute rounds are better though, despite MMA generally being more fatiguing for the athletes than boxing.

Farah is 85% ST muscle fibers, the boxer is 50% or more FT muscle fibers. Yes, Farah has run 200,000+ miles in his career and the boxer maybe 500, but you can't beat bad genetics (for sprinting). Even Rupp, who is still 80% ST, was much faster than Farah in 100m workouts coached by Salazar.
Farah doesn't sprint finish - he kicks 400m or longer out in a 5k/10k and closes the fastest, not because he has more raw speed than others but because he comes to the final lap with the lowest lactate level (so he has more anaerobic energy left for the kick) and he has great speed endurance, his 400m closing speed might even be faster than his FAT 400m because he loses so much energy and power accelerating out of the blocks.
Mo Farah's 800m PR is 1:48, not exactly blazing speed if you look at his 5k and 10k times and compare them to other runners.

Not really. Especially if the clock is kept running.
A. Joshua ran track before boxing, he was a sprinter. He ran 11.6 at 14-15 years old.
