Tbf wilder was in no fit to do that post fight after the hammering fury gave him. Had to be carted off to hospital asap to check his dented head
Wilder should be Joshua's new shrink with his accurate assessment of Joshua's MH and chances vs Usyk. Dr Deontay will see you now, Anthony. Make yourself comfy on the couch.
Boxers aren't politicians or actors. Joshua's mask came off at the end of a very emotional and difficult event for him. The latter half of his rant seemed to be an improvised attempt at damage control on his part. Which came off badly because, well, he's not a politician or actor. Or even Tyson Fury. Couldn't stick the landing. Wilder sounds overall like he suffered the bigger meltdown. It went on faaaar longer, and seemed like it affected his professional life. It messed with Wilder's day to day life as a boxer, rather than merely cracking the public relations facade of a guy who isn't a trained performer.

Wilder's meltdown was off camera and only really visible if you followed his post fight antics. Joshua's meltdown was live in front of millions. I'd say that's worse.
You need to do it in his accent for full comedic effect. Mah Bombzquad ahmee Mah Bombzquad nesshun Ah yam heeyah Yo keeng is heeyah etc...
It’s close but it’s still early in the defeat alot of that is raw emotion after an exhausting camp & fight… if he Carrie’s on about it months to a full year after making excuses then it will eclipse Wilders meltdown
It’s wild to watch but let’s not forget that gets these guys to the top. A win at all cost mentality. Their identity attached to that win. They also live in a bubble where everything is boxing this boxing that and it’s the most important thing in the world, whilst the world looks on and sees it’s just a sport. I felt heartbroken after every loss in amateurs, and that was just the ams. Can’t imagine dedicating 25 years of your life and being the baddest man on the planet and then being dethrone by a smaller guy behaving like a little wasp.
AJ was exhibiting spoiled child behaviour, with more than a hint of personality disorder thrown in. Ranting is sadly per se nowadays with so many fighters, but AJ grabbing those 2 belts that were earned by Usyk, and dropping them to the floor in my opinion steps outside anything that can be excused, it was out of order on so many levels. The ring immediately after result is announced is the victors stage, their earned moment in the spotlight, no opponent should deny the victor that, however AJ did and tried to make it about me me me, emotions are high of course but that is no excuse.
