    Froch by Groves in the first fight

    He was on the verge of tears in the head to head!

    Floyd did a real number on Victor Ortiz.

    Floyd during their HBO Face Off with Kellerman: “You make ANY mistakes, you have to pay” - And so he did.

    AJ is a MASSIVE racist though, he's proven that time and time again. Fury is cool with everyone.

    All these foolish theories. Those same fools probably believe the election was rigged too. LOL

    Yeah I guess he's quite racist but he's not the worst, as long as he doesn't spout off on racist ramblings like Wilder has done I don't really mind too much although I believe all those who get really offended by racism in media should not be hypocrites and call it out.

    Ali broke down Foreman mentally in their fight. Foreman admitted as much.

    Social media is also a force multiplier. Fighters didn't have to deal with the constant trolling or the clips being repeated over and over again back in the day. We also live in less civil times and fighters are regarded as "hypejobs" and "bums" if they even take one bad loss against a quality opponent. So I suspect that modern fighters are more mentally damaged by defeat than past fighters.

    Seeing as Wilder is one of the most narcissistic and probably the most delusional heavyweight champion of all time and we live in the age of social media, I'd say he's been one of the most mentally destroyed in history by his crushing defeat to the fat white guy, yes. He should retire.

    Have you ever heard of this guy names Mike f'n Tyson?? He beat guys mentally even before the first bell.

    The idea that Fury has broke down AJ Mentally is absurd fanboy fantasy.

    Has Fury broken down AJ mentally? To some degree I believe he has based on a number of dubious statements that AJ has made. But we'll have more evidence in the run up to the fight and of course in the fight itself.

    There were fans back in the day saying "Fury is cracking up!" at the Klitschko press conferences when in reality Wlad was cracking up. Teddy Atlas even claimed that Fury was "mentally lost" before the 2nd Wilder fight lmao. People will see what they want to see.

    What dubious statements has Aj made that make you suggest that ? His side is the one that sent the contract for a 50/50 split instead of pricing himself out. Aj wants the fight. Fury as far as i can tell wants it although he has made some questionable comments about inactivity.

    The only one who has harmed Aj mentally is Ruiz. Fury hasn't done anything

    Financially I'm sure AJ wants it and I'm certain his team want at least two fights.

    But does AJ want the fight for the fight itself? Doubtful. Relevant posts: [url]https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/why-is-everyone-making-the-mistaken-assumption-that-fury-has-gotten-to-ajs-head.664165/#post-20932161[/url]

    Aj wanted to deal with Usyk because he's a mandatory and he doesn't want to drop his belt because he wants to fight Fury for undisputed. But Hearn wanted the money fight sooner and Aj perferred not to drop a belt so the WBO ordered Usyk to fight joyce for a spot to become a mandatory to Ajs world title. Now that Usyk is out of the way for now Fury and Joshua are fighting for undisputed. Both want the fight next. AJ's team is the one that sent the contract.

    What you should be worried about is Fury mentioning inactivity time and time again. It sounds to me like he wanted a tune up :lol:. Regardless Fury hasn't dont anything to have hurt Aj mentally. All he does it talk on twitter. Aj fought Klitschko WELL over 3 years ago when he was still green. Klitschko is a far more murderous puncher than Fury. He also got in the ring against Ruiz and beat him in an immediate rematch after getting bulldozed by him in the first fight. I doubt he's scared of Fury.
