I know man it's all really just so strange. He was so willing to just give it all up and go home. Even post fight and way after with later interviews he seems way too jovial about losing everything. At first I thought this is it. He honestly was just burned out at this stage, not willing to carry that mantle anymore. Like he was relieved in a way. If people are big on AJ being in great fights with Fury and Wilder then this lay off is exactly what he probably needs. I hope it's not a worse situation than we think though. The concussion stories are making a lot of sense. Regardless, he needs to exercise that rematch clause or else Haymon will freeze him out like nothing we've ever seen.
AJ suffered a panic attack before the fight according to his father

He's never been on this type of stage.That's nothing compared to fighting in America at the Mecca of boxing with the whole world watching. He was doped during the interviews that's why everybody was saying he was acting weird before the fight.
Understand the pressure he was under.
Forced by Hearn & DAZN to fight here.
The success of DAZN & Matchroom USA/UK being on him.
Knowing his loss would end Hearn's "empire", which Hearn himself said.
AJ can't handle that type of pressure. He can't handle Wilder confronting him in the ring. He can't handle Miller making yo mama jokes.

But that doesn't negate the fact that he went through the struggle. Also, did you go through more struggles in your life than Lamar Odom and Keith Murray? So how come the "struggle" never helped them deal with the mental breakdown they both seem to have been through and had to result to drugs?
Not many boxers went through the "struggle" Mike tyson went through but he ended up as the most mentally fragile of his era. Can you explain that "anomaly" since you believe "struggle" cureth all?Comment

What Aj needs to do is see a doctor first. I don't know why, but I still think there is something that we don't know of.I know man it's all really just so strange.

He did not look good as a human, I am not even talking as a boxer.Comment

I think Lamar Odom is one of the strongest people mentally of all time he lost all his friends he lost his kids and he recently came out with the fact he did no drugs and the bunny ranch owner purposely tried to kill him by putting drugs in his drinks the man is the definition of struggle turned success and he’s been dealing with mental health better than anyone I ever seen who went through such dramatic circumstances.But that doesn't negate the fact that he went through the struggle.

Boxing is built from struggle guys who have no other way out that’s the foundation of this sport.Comment

I don't expect Eddie to say Joshua had a panic attack & I convinced him to fight so that was the reason for the delay in the locker room and that was the reason his father was reading me the riot act after the fightComment

https://<iframe width="891" height="...reen></iframe>I actually believe the concussion stories more than this, or maybe its both lol. I don't wanna laugh but maybe he did had a concussion in the lead up to the fight. And his dad want the fight called off with the panic attack a well.
One thing is clear doe, him asking "Why am i feeling like this" in one of the rounds was weird as fuck.Comment

I can believe it and if it's true they 1000% made the right call to go on. You don't cancel a ****ing HW title fight seconds before it's about to happen cuz the champ is ****ting his pants. Sometimes you just gotta face the music and you either sink or swim, AJ sunk on Saturday night, but the people saying you can't let him go out there because of this are bloody ridiculous. He didn't walk in there with a broken jaw or a heart problem, so the father should pipe down, assuming this stuff is true. As Clubber Lang said, "Don't give this sucker a statue, give him guts!"Comment
