in the history of boxing has there ever been a boxer broken down by another boxer mentally

For god’s sake, when will these stupid threads end.
Every other day a new “fury is all in AJs head” “fury has wrecked wilder forever “ thread pops up on here.
If Aj beats him, some people are going to be on suicide watch.

 

Chavez snr. Vs Taylor.

Wilder still hasn't topped Foreman vs Ali.

 

Spinks was literally hiding in the dressing room for an extra twenty minutes. Great mention.

 

I think you need to get aboard the Fury train while there still room.....

..... all aboard!!!

 

to this day, i've never seen a fighter with that look Spinks had walking to the ring.

 

All the time. Pre fight and post fight too.

 

AJ after Fury gets wheeled in front of him and Eddie pokes him with a stick

we might get tears like Wilder

Schadenfreude is oft considered the lowest way of finding humour in something.

 

I love most black American fighters so I gotta call bs on this. The LDBC is an openly racist group of fanboys, much like the old school "great white hope" types in America. Don't act like it doesn't exist when they're the most prominent racists in boxing currently.

 

After the first KD by Ruiz Joshua's mind abandoned him.

 

Foreman was never quite AS scary after Ali.

 

Ali- Foreman
Tyson Vs Berbick and Mitch Green
Holmes-Cooney

 

Fury also did some severe mental damage to Wlad.

Mike Tyson also benefited a lot from intimidation and instilling fear in his opponents.

Both Tysons were quite good at psychological warfare -- Mike was probably the greatest of all time.

 

Bingo!!!

 

I think we just see it more with social media and increased technology.

After losing to Ali, Foreman went through a deep depression. He had that silly Toronto 5 Exhibition and made countless excuses for Zaire (he was still making them in his book By George in the 90s). I remember Vargas talked about going thru depression after losing to Tito, and Hatton likewise after losing to Mayweather. After losing to Jones, Toney got into an argument with his a manager, Jackie Kallen, and threatened to kill her. He spent a bunch of years being inconsistent, fat, and underachieving.
