Are black heavyweights of this era mentally weak?

[BangEM]

I grew up being a fan of black heavyweights due to how powerful, strong, durable and mentally strong they’re. But it seems there’s a paradigm shift with this era.

Wilder
Talks like he’s Deebo from Friday but it’s a front to mask the little girl he’s beneath that. So it isn’t shocking he wants to get pregnant and also likes twerking. Also a grown man who gets controlled by Shelley Finkle is a weakling.

AJ
Talks I’m circles like a guru who’s taking philosophy classes but beneath that is a weak guy who gets pushed around by a snake oil salesman masquerading as a promoter. This doofus is the only boxer in the modern era to sign his life away to a promoter whilst claiming loyalty. And in the ring, he’s just confused and insecure.

Dubois
Talks like a robot and I’d rather watch paint dry than listen to him speak. And he’s a quitter.

Michael Spinks was black, a great fighter, and grew up in Pruitt-Igoe. Yet many people remember him as frail, mostly due to his attitude against Tyson.

Sometimes it's just a phase of your life. And I do not think it depends on skin color, to be honest. For sure, with experience, now I see those who brag they're tough as the weaker.

I think it's pretty difficult to accomplish what Wilder and Joshua have without being mentally strong. But I guess all of us armchair observers know more than them about their mental state and what it takes to reach the highest level in boxing.

Spinks wasn’t a natural HW - he’s an overblown LHW.

They both crumbled like a pack of cards at the zenith and lack the wit and mental fortitude needed for sustainability. Largely due to being pushed around like ******.

I think that the fact that neither didn’t seek the right mentorship from old boxers is their biggest Achilles Heel. Wilder got ruined by Shelley Finkel and AJ got ruined by Hearn. Saturday might be the end of Wilder’s career. And AJ’s career will most likely end next year if he doesn’t make the right changes and seek help.

Sorry, I didn't read carefully the thread's title. But my opinion remains the same. And let's not forget: all three HWs you mention are coming from psychologically hard defeats.

Your reasons for calling them weak are ****** asf and clearly your own personal bs towards them.

[Butt stuff]

The AJ hypetrain is throwing him under the bus after a somewhat competitive loss. The guy started boxing late (so did Wilder) and both went right to the top. They couldn’t beat natural born boxers in Fury and Usyk and there’s no shame in that. They’ve over achieved and achieved a lot between them.

Jury is still out on Dubois.

Boxing fans logic since forever: “if you don’t win all of your fights then you’re **** or a bum”
