Aj confuses me when he confuses himself trying to be smart. Guys all over the place but I know a mentally beaten fighter when I see one. He's very lost right now.
Mentally ruined and exposed. He was given a chance to decline the immidiate rematch, start from scratch, learn from his loss, build his confidence with a couple tune ups and earn a shot at the top but he's put himself right back in the firing line against Oleksandr and he has zero routes to victory When you don't fear Aj his power all the sudden dissappears. Very strange if you ask me. The bodybuilder knows judgment day is coming. Usyk gets closer each passing moment and Joshua knows he has no chance against the hyper intelligent technical Ukrainian southpaw
Couldn't get through more than a minute of that gibberish but wow, his acne is really popping up. His pals in saudi will set up shop on that forehead if he doesn't watch out.
You have a point, and I would even go one better and say that he has a legacy in this sport no matter what occurs next. I would even add on top of all that that at 32, he's going to see a belt again sooner or later. But there is just no doubt that he is sounding like Wilder post Fury II, Foreman post Ali, Cooney post Holmes, etc.
I wouldn’t go that far. Wilder went into hiding and made a bunch of excuses. Foreman is still making excuses till this day about the Ali fight and had that weird night where he fought five guys just to gain his confidence back. I honestly didn’t hear much about Cooney after Holmes. My point is that AJ talking a little bs isn’t nearly as bad as what the other guys did. He gave Usyk full credit and is already back in the gym thinking of new strategies for the rematch.
You see it how you see it, but you don't think of the wrestling videos as a little like the five-guy thing? You didn't think of his swearing and citing gangsters as his influences was a little odd? The recent references of "all I need is three more rounds" a bit of denial? We'll see. I think he had some sorting out to do. Again, I think he will be all right in the long fun, but he ought to take some time.
Sounds like a guy that’s completely lost his identity. Doesn’t know who he is or what he’s going to do anymore.
I don’t think too much of what he says. He was saying complete bs after his Ruiz loss and was trying new strategies in the gym. It worked out the first time so I don’t think it’s too unlikely that he can make another comeback, especially at his age. People just like to bash him whenever they can for whatever reason
This is true. I think he is the most unjustly hated fighter I have ever seen. The guy basically held up the division when Fury was crazy and Uysk was a cruiser.
He said something that he believes 100% He said that Usyk loss felt like his first loss. UD in your hometown, in front of all your fans. opponent outbox, outwork him and he could not even hurt Usyk. He was so confused when Usyk hit him in the 3rd round, he did not saw that coming. I guess Micheal Hunter was right and UD lose is harder for some boxers than TKO/KO
Yeah he’s been carrying the heavyweight division. Wilder had such a **** title reign and all Fury wants to do is keep fighting Wilder. Imagine if AJ wasn’t around, guys like Martin, Parker, and Wilder would just keep their belts hostage making bad defenses and never fight each other
