    Ali beating Foreman. It took a toll on Foreman psychologically. It took him some time to recover from that.

    Cooney after losing to Holmes. He was not the same after that and took to drinking.

    Pavlik after losing to Hopkins. He was not the same after that and took to drinking.

    Hamed vs Barrera. After being embarrassed by Barrera, Hamed was done. I think he fought once more after that and retired.

    Lol but Furys the one saying "ill fight twice in 2021 with or without Aj". he hasn't done anything. If i remember correctly Eddie Hearn begged Fury to show up to Joshuas fight against Pulev but Fury didn't even though both were in the UK. But against Wilder he flew across the planet just to instigate things. Whos truly up for it ? Whos After the pulev fight he said he wanted the fight next but now it seems like Fury is negative about it now that Aj sent the contract.

    What about when Wlad was confident he would beat Fury in an immediate rematch but Fury avoided the contractually obligated rematch and ran off with the belts. Fury isn't some 8th Dimensional mind game wizard. It seems like Fury is the one who might be weary about his "inactivity" going into the biggest fight of his career. Like I've already stated in another thread prime mike wiped out almost all of his opponents in his prime except a few skilled fringe contenders including Tony Tucker.

    Im telling you now you're going to eat your words, writing Aj off like he's nothing.

    Wrong. Not in this situation. There's a large group of racists really hurt by Fury beating Wilder. They can't let it go.

    One that springs to mind for me was Tyrell Biggs losing time Mike Tyson in that fashion combined with Tyson’s post-fight insults. I think that kinda ruined poor Biggs.
