yes, the beaten down defeated broken man persona, he doesnt need to adopt it, he is it, ask wilder, only one way out of it........ wilder is giving it a go
not even sure AJ should continue with his career after that Mental Breakdown
that man is in no condition to Box or to start worrying about who he should fight next, he needs maybe a year off comeback late 2023 IF he even wants to continue to fight, don't even talk, watch or think about boxing during that time off and see if he gets that itch back
persona goes when u lose your 0, that is why fighters are so desperate not to lose it, u are never the same & cant cruise the clubs like some hero for the rest of your life, its all ego really, even if u have to duck and dodge fans will back u up once u have that 0
He should just retire. I guess British boxing establishment can`t make him any better.
He believed in his own hype, he believed he was better than he really was.
He made a huge money, he was two time world champion, he has 3 losses, that is nothing tragical , the most of boxers have losses.
Usyk broke him mentally. Wilder will break his skull if they ever meet in the ring. It is not worth not even 100 million dollars.
He has the size and arguably power but he kept feeling like he had to "box" to keep up his carefully crafted image. He can brawl against most, look at his pre-Ruiz wins.
He's got the size and power but I think that Ruiz fight ruined him mentally.
Joshua has the physique but he doesn't have it mentally, he doesn't have that Mike Tyson killer instinct. AJ should retire before he gets hurt.
He has the size and arguably power but he kept feeling like he had to "box" to keep up his carefully crafted image. He can brawl against most, look at his pre-Ruiz wins.
Remember when Golovkin ditched the good boy act after losing to Canelo? That's what AJ should do. Stop with the fake media friendly, carefully chosen words, and go back to his real street persona.
