Does Fury's mind games cause brain damage?

If I had to opine on Wilder rn, I'd say he isn't taking the loss very well.. and honestly I think it's a long road down from here. It makes me wonder if Fury's constant mind games causes actual brain damage. I mean these guys just can't get their head right post-Fury. In an IFL interview John Fury said they'd broken big Wlad mentally before the fight and that he's still broken to this day, living rent free in his head. When Fury clowned Haye he also was never the same. Ego completely shattered. Now we see Wilder trying to keep up with Tyson saying he a king and shiet, making a complete fool of himself and arguably going off the deep end. In a way I think it's hilarious. All these guys got beat by someone they thought they'd be sending back to the fair grounds.

Hard head punches can cause brain damage. Mind games can't and are highly overrated. Fury beat Wlad and Wilder because he fought well with a good battle plan and they fought poorly that night. They just did. It was not because of mind games. Wlad was only 2 months away from being 40 years old. That is very old and well past prime. Wlad was ready to be beaten by a much younger good fighter. I think a 35 year old Wlad would have beaten that Fury. Years later Wlad fought well against AJ showing no damage from any Fury mind games. Wlad lost because he was now about 42 years old. A prime Wlad beats a prime Fury or a prime AJ in my opinion. Old age mainly beat him in both of those losses.

The Wlad one was funny because he’s like some pseudo psychologist but he got mentally destroyed by Fury. Fury is a clever guy. He said before the first Wilder fight that they had 2 interviews together in one day, on a morning talk show then on the face off thing. Ben Davison said that Fury said he purposely acted friendly with Wilder on the first one, just to see if Wilder would follow his tone, which he did. Fury then amped it up on the same day to a more aggressive tone, and Wilder followed. Fury knew he could mentally control him from that day. I disagree 'Wladimir Kiltschko would of beaten him in the rematch' Kiltschko was embarrassed to lose to Fury.

Awesome observation sir! He makes sure he's in the driving seat. Be interested in how AJ responds, as I said it's one thing watching it, but being the one stood in front of him while he doing all of that, must be a surreal experience. In so so many ways he just has everything down so right, outside and in the ring. He's at his best when it's someone ko dangerous across from him (kiltshcko/Wilder). I think he can get AJ mentally. Whyte got AJ angry and off his game plan for a bit. Miller seemed to get under AJ’s skin too.

Fury is the best mind genius since Ali.

Haha, that's very good, I didn't know about that. Got him playing to a tune, ruthless Also, do you remember the first presser they had when Fury jumped up and said “lets have a spar!” And they went face to face. Apparently Fury feinted Wilder on purpose, just to see what Wilder’s natural reaction to a feint is, and he went back with his chin in the air. That’s how he knew he could get Wilder unsettled with a lot of feints and create opportunities.
