Never had one, but I hear it's no joke.

If he really did have one, i take back all of the bad things I said about him as he was clearly at a severe mental disadvantage coming into the ring

He was the heavyweight champion of the world. No panic attacks allowed. A boxing champ has to be tough mentally as well as physically.

... AJ definitely looked as if he had some sort of panic attack... of course that a HW boxing champ isn't allowed to experience something like that... but if it was the first time and no one (including AJ) saw this coming, well... that's it!...

... As I said, here, after the 3rd round: Joshua is done!...

Ah both overtrained and under trained

Got a concussion in sparring

Got injured in training

Panic attack



So many damn excuses

He looked fine when he was beating the crap out of Andy

All the issues showed up after he started taking punches back in return

Imagine that

... "he was beating the crap out of Andy" for about 2-3 seconds, tbh...

Ok he folded mentally before the fight, boxing is 90% mental if a guy can't handle the pressure of the sport boxing is not for them and they will get seriously hurt.

If you want to play it that way, mental instability got many a fighter be it addiction, being crazy or just cracking under pressure. He was never going to be great if he had that sort of issue and better he got found out by Ruiz instead of a guy like Wilder who would like have put him in the hospital or Fury who would have totally broken him worse than Ruiz did.

That's precisely why I said, here, after the 3rd round: Joshua is done!...

Deal with it. As a hockey goalie growing up I had one before every ****ing game. If you can’t deal with it, you shouldn’t be an athlete.

It depends... I contracted severe claustrophobia back in 1977 (after a big earthquake)... I experienced many panic attacks because of that... But I also was a semi-pro rugby player for about 10 years, and never had panic attacks before or during the games (and not even during the frequent brawls)...

Phobia’s are completely different though, as I’m sure you can attest to. Someone with a legit phobia has a lot more than just a standard anxiety attack.

OK... what about stage fright or performance anxiety in AJ's case?...

That’s something you have to get over. Lots of musicians and athletes have it.

Hitman not making light of Joshua, he is a talented fighter who needs to learn the craft, like so many other talented guys who can only do a few things in the ring... But consider this: Have you ever heard of men like Marciano, Dempsey, Ali, etc saying they had a psychological problem like anxiety? There are some endevours in life where that stuff is just not accounted for. It happens, but you deal with it when you are a fighter, or you look like Ronda Roussey.

Margarito fought Pacquiao with a broken orbital bone.

Lomachenko fought with a dislocated shoulder

mayweather, gatti, arreola have fought with broken hands.

Vitali klitschko fought with a torn eye

Badou fought with his skull showing

Nobody wants to hear about AJ's f4ggot ass panic attacks.

... but it seemed that AJ failed to cope with it... That's why I think he's done!...
