    Not necessarily true. What major weaknesses did Sugar Ray Leonard have? Roberto Duran? Robinson?

    I don't think that something holds him back.
    Ok, he had a huge meltdown after the Usyk2 fight, but I think he is ok. He lost against Ruiz (many good boxers lost unespected in history) and he lost 2x against one of the best boxers in this era, which is no shame - and many would have lost against Usyk. E.g. W. Klitschko was KOed 3x against cans.

    There is still success for AJ in heavyweight future.

    He's just broken... He had his 0 and unshakeable belief.. Then he got knocked out off a lard arse pudding and realised he can't walk through everyone.. Then git out boxed twice by a superior boxer and realised he can't outbox everyone and these doubts plague him now.... He wasn't Ray Robinson to begin with but now his mental fragility has. Een exposed abit


    No shame in it... It happens

    Agree. I also think he then focused too much on trying to be a master boxer rather than fighting to his strengths.

    His problem is actually none of above mentioned. He has serious flaws in his technique and ring IQ

    Not really hard chin, he also tends to be weak mentally and then you add his limited abilities in the ring. Not that he isn't overall a good fighter, but lacks enough not to be great.

    His problem was called Usyk.
    A once-in-a-generation talent who was totally prepared to fight him.

    Fury would have a similar thread if he fought Usyk.
    But he wont because he would rather do videos, talk crap then fight easy fights.
    Fury will find some way to sidestep Usyk.
    And idiots will believe what he says.

    Bad fundamentals and bad trainers, McCraken taught AJ nothng, he should have been learning good fundamentals years ago, now it`s probably too late.

    Sounds like the perfect opponent for Tyson Fury then.

    Andy Ruiz doesn't eat "half" of anything.






    He's fat.

    There is no problem. He just lost some fights to the better man.
