BOXING PSYCHOLOGY: ANTHONY JOSHUA VS TYSON FURY

[@DrWuDoc]

I think Fury is naturally more extroverted than AJ. For me a true measure of confidence is what a man does. AJ fought top 10 opposition far quicker than Fury. 19th fight for AJ was Klitschko, Fury’s was Vinny Maddalone. No comparison. Fury in his career has appeared to avoid fights. He avoided David Price, mandatory defence of British title, yep he vacated. He avoided the Klitschko rematch, pulled out twice. He didn’t take the Wilder rematch straight away. Was offered the AJ fight on his comeback, chose Wilder. Didn’t want to fight Whyte as an eliminator for the WBC belt. Fury’s record is sketchy and very inconsistent. This is a sure sign of psychological weakness. Inconsistency.

[@leeharlow5633]

Comparing when AJ fought Vlad and when Fury fought Vlad is pointless. Aj had 44 professional rounds when he fought Vlad and has still only boxed 122 rounds, fighting in 10 world title fights. Fury had boxed 134 rounds before he fought Vlad, and now boxed 191 rounds, fighting in 3 world title fights, which is a bit of a difference. There was also the added pressure of virtually selling out every arena he’s pretty much fought in, up to 90,000 at Wembley. The pressure of belt collecting, unifying along the way, with the lure of an undisputed always around the corner. Aj has done pretty well I would say.

[@findeisellogic1015]

Perception is everything in the eye of the public. Before his loss AJ looked the same before lead up to every fight. After Ruiz loss everyone’s perception of AJ is he’s mentally weak.

[@stevenmackintosh8160]

Ruiz was extremely respectfully before the AJ fight, almost like a starstruck fan and look how that worked out. It was almost like a mindgame from Ruiz to make AJ underestimate him.

[@DarnallDubois]

It was all mindgames

[@craigg4219]

That was mind games and Joshua took the bait and handed the belts over to him. After that moment Ruiz had him.

Hatman, what about Furys response to Joshua in regards to celebrity and sports personality. He says he isnt interested, but I actually thinks thats everything he wants, and now rejects the idea of it because he isnt getting it. After Klitchko the lack of support is what sent him into decline?

[@Kingshakazulu]

[@DavidUKesb]

What Fury excels at is preventing his opponent from doing what he wants to do. It's by far the most underrated skill in boxing.

[@dandare14]

Because he did it against Klitschko and because Wilder has always had weaknesses on the inside that were plain to see?

[@freddiepizerhall8324]

@Lu 123 Chisora twice, Christian Hammer, Klit, Wilder twice and soon to be Joshua. Just because he doesn’t fight a bunch of B level 40 year old fighters doesn’t mean he’s not great.

[@dandare14]

@@smokemeakipper1076 not much left apart from him boxing skill, speed, movement, punch variety, ring IQ, height and range? Yes, he cedes some of those points to Fury - but not all of them. AJ has never solely relied on his power, hence why he’s barely lost a round in his entire career. Fury might be able to take the sting off those shots by riding them, but he won’t manage to do that with all of them unless it’s a low volume fight. If it is a low volume fight, it’s then on AJ to force the pace. Whether he will or not is yet to be seen.

[@DragonX-dl6yo]

@@dandare14 honestly what are you smoking?

[@freddiepizerhall8324]

@Lu 123 Wrong, Chisora was Number 1 in line to fight Klit. Wilder can’t box yet is a top 5 long reigning champion 😂. What styles has Joshua fought that are close to Fury? Oppositely Fury schooled Klitschko who’s style is similar to Joshua. Joshuas style is tailor made for Fury

[@ghostoftheyoutubefuture2630]

I don't believe Fury is more confident than AJ at all. Fury come across as one of those guys who talks a lot to compensate for his insecurities..........not everything is what it seems. Remember when Price said he'd fight Fury & Fury gave that cringe (yet entertaining) interview at ringside? Came across like a nervous guy to me.

[@Kingshakazulu]

There’s nothing wrong with AJ being cautious due to his loss against Ruiz. He has done tremendously to recover and change his style. He can’t go into ring, thinking he will knock everyone out. Look at how Klitschko fought cautiously after his knockout losses. He started clinching a lot. Can Fury recover if he gets knocked out, I highly doubt. You measure a mans strength, by how he recovers after defeat.

[@jaywalker2083]

I wouldn't confuse Fury's ability to get under people's skin with his confidence. He's good at getting under people's skin and making them doubt themselves, as he's quick-witted and doesn't mind being brash and rude. His confidence though I'd question. There's a reason he's only fought 1 top 50 fighter in 5 years.

[@Beans360]

And AJ gets his confidence from beating 40 year olds 🤣

[@jaywalker2083]

@@Beans360 What do you think of Fury's record? Do you think he took fights like Schwarz and Wallin because he was supremely confident?

[@kevingeorge9727]

Hatman you really are giving Fury way to much credit for beating Wilder. History will eventually show that Wilder wasn't very good and was carefully matched his whole career. Further, you highlight Fury's confidence before the Klitchko fight. That was his twenty sixth fight. Joshua hasn't even had twenty six fights. Fury beat Klitchko by being messy and fiddly. He never had him hurt or on the canvas. I've been watching boxing a long time like you. If i saw something in Fury i'd say 'yeah. He's the real deal'. I just don't. I can't see a way Fury finishes the Joshua fight on his feet. In fact i don't think the fight will happen because i don't think Fury really wants it.

[@craigg4219]

Watch the fight again and see klitchkos face at the end.

[@kevingeorge9727]

@@craigg4219 Did you see Fury's face at the end of the Wallin fight! Joshua's going to knock Fury out in five rounds if they fight. I'm not fan boy of anyone's. Klitchko spent twelve rounds looking for the right hand. Wilder spent twenty four rounds just looking for the right hand. No real jab. No ability to set up shots. No ability to evade punches going backwards. Terrible footwork. He's an awful fighter. Joshua is also a better finisher. Wilder wastes much of his own good work because he is rash and hasn't cultivated his boxing skills. Joshua won't do that. I'm not a troll (way to old for that). I respect your opinion. Like you I just want to see the fight.

[@nileking6295]

i agree that history wont be kind to wilder if he carries on fighting top guys but end of the day before fury beat wilder would you of been fully confident of any of the other hws would beat wilder? the answer is no wilder cant box but hes shown his power in the right hand is devasting and hes got a fighters heart he showed that in the first ortiz fight and the second fury fight

[@coreyboachie]

Kevin George I agree that wilder needs to face some seriously elite competition but you can’t just discredit everything he has achieved

[@kevingeorge9727]

@@coreyboachie I really wish I could agree with you mate. His handlers have kept him away from anyone credible upto the Fury fight, which they also tried to cherry pick. Only problem now is Wilder is painted into a corner. There are no more cherry picks left. This is why you don't hear him or anyone from his team pushing for the Fury fight or any fight for that matter. Further, I won't accept the lack of gate receipts as an excuse for not fighting. Joshua stands to lose the most financially as a result of reduced attendances and he still fought.

[@DEEDUBZ]

I miss 90s Boxing. Regarding today, I think Tyson Fury's elusiveness, activity and stamina to easily go 12 is a bad match up for Anthony Joshua. Even Hughie would give Anthony problems.

True what u say. But confidence in other personalities is not displayed as is in others. Evander Holyfield has always been soft spoken and respectful but his will to want to win is up there with the most confident. Joe Louis was the same but his tenacity in the ring was special. Just because you loud and respect no one doesn't necessarily mean you have the inner fortitude and resilience to be the best in the game I guess is what I want to point out. Joe Calzagi was bullied in school and wasn't one to voice confidence but he fought with heart ...I felt the need to say this because many people make the mistake of not taking time to read a person but go on the noise they make. He said this, or didn't therefore he is scared or he will win etc

[@mychals386]

I’m only about 10 minutes through (so not sure if you touch on it) but Rummy’s Corner did an hour long interview with Manny Steward years ago where he goes through the best HW’s in history. Talks about their mentality and otherwise. Think you and your viewers would enjoy it if they haven’t seen it.

[@rocquet3580]

I'm Surprised you used Holyfield as your standard bearer. As one of the biggest drugs cheats of his day, probably even more prolific than big baby Miller, he walked round at 12stone but had an anabolic induced fighting weight of 15stone. Holyfield's obsession with Tyson probably stemmed from knowing that he had a huge advantage over fighters who were clean. And, Big punchers nearly always used the stare down to get an edge over their opponents, Liston, Foreman & Tyson were all noted for their 'evil eye stare downs' but proved to be pretty ordinary when their punching power was nullified by the nimble elite boxer.......

Joshua fought Parker, Takam, Povetkin, Pulev, Whyte, Ruiz Jr., Klitzscho, Breazeale, Martin, & Molina. All Fury fought was Klitzschko, Wilder, and Chisora.

A person's demeanor is not always the yardstick for determining who is more mentally strong or weak. Being braggadocios and staring people in the eyes does not equate to mental toughness either! AJ used the Pulev fight to not only knock out Pulev, but also display and practice new found skills and abilities he's been practicing in the gym. We all know he could have dispatched Pulev earlier but he chose not to, this was to give fans more value for their money, and to demonstrate certain abilities which was a signal to Fury. With some people, AJ can never do anything right. If Fury did what AJ did to Pulev, you and many others who are impressed with him would be singing his praises. If Mayweather fought the way AJ did an opponent the world would be singing his praises. AJ brings out something new & all you can see is weakness. I'm sorry, you're a Fury fan boy!

I think, before the Ruiz fight, AJ goes into fights believing in his invincibility & that's not entirely right because a single punch from his opponent can change everything.

[@alvshill]

Hatman is just proving once again he doesn’t know the meaning of objectivity, and by extension subjectivity. ‘Facts’ in a boxing match relate to those things which are beyond dispute. If a boxer is hit, falls flat, and is counted out, that he/she was ‘knocked out’ becomes a matter of ‘fact’. You can therefore then say, objectively, that the boxer was knocked out. On the other hand, anyone’s judgement of a boxer’s performance has to be based on an interpretation, i.e. an opinion, and can be affected by bias and assumption..often unconsciously so, and this falls into the realm of the subjective. By literal definition, there is nothing objective about an ‘opinion’ of any boxer’s performance. Any claim to the contrary is to clearly misunderstand the very basic difference between subjectivity and objectivity. For Hatman to claim that because Teddy Atlas and some other’s share his opinion as to though validate his own opinion as an objective one, is to further demonstrate a misunderstanding of objectivity vs subjectivity. Teddy Atlas is well qualified to give his opinion of any boxing performance, but that doesn’t make his analysis any any less subjective.

The comparisons are interesting. And I'm not sure they're irrelevant. AJ was like a swimmer new to the deep end, who almost drowned but conquered it in the end.

Tyson Fury normally recovers quickly when he gets knocked down.

I actually think it's a good thing Joshua is showing some hesitation/ psychological damage. He was always going to after getting beat up by Ruiz, especially taking the immediate rematch. Instead of this psych damage making him lose, he won both the rematch and the Pulev fight. I think psych damage was inevitable (unless he was a deluded person which brings massive problems of it's own) for his subsequent 2 or 3 fights but after that he could well evolve into a much stronger fighter because of it.

[@sulaymanabumalik6937]

teddy works for espn, enough said, does aj has the fact the he got the ko loss to ruiz in the back of his head? off course, it would be stupid not to, but i got a question hatman and it would be interesting to hear you on that, if fury is so strong mentally why he seems to be impossible for him to have big fights back to back?

[@TEEK466]

SPOT ON BRO...THESE GUYS WANT TO SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE.........THE SAME PEOPLE DIDNT WANT HIM TO TAKE THE ANDY RUIZ REMATCH....TYSON FURY WAS SO STRONG THAT HE BROKE DOWN MENTALLY AFTER THE KLITSHKO WIN SMFH

[@sulaymanabumalik6937]

@@TEEK466 hey personnaly im picking fury, but it wont be easy, i prefer aj as a person, i used to prefer fury but all the flip floping got me tired of him, so i support aj but my money is on tyson, but i agree hatman said aj shouldnt take the rematch but after aj won he blame ruiz for not takin the fight seriously enough, i dont buy that, ruiz already had slow feet, he wasnt gonna change into suga ray leonard in one camp

Yes, however it costs nothing also, so it is worth doing. At the end of the day there will always be other fighters who are stronger and better skilled. You cannot win every fight.

[@DirtyJamesUK]

Works on most. Mike was very intimidating. But Evander is something else, and was clearly obsessed rather than afraid.

[@EliasVergsen]

I think in the actual ring Fury is so much more mentally strong and secure with himself. It's where he is most confident and most himself. Out of the ring AJ is stronger and Fury is more fragile. AJ has the life he wants, he has a good relationship with his kids/friends and he knows what he wants in the future. I'm no fanboy of either but it's a genuine 50/50 fight. Fury should win on paper but who knows

[@TEEK466]

On paper??based on his fights with McDermott,Sefer seferi,Otto wallin,Cunningham,pjakic,Tom Schwartz based on what paper exactly ??on fighting 2 two top guy in his career

[@EliasVergsen]

@@TEEK466 Based on the fact he's beaten two top top long reigning HWs away from home when most people said he'd lose to both. Wlad who couldn't land a glove on him and Wilder who he walked down. Fury's style is wrong for AJ. He can go 12 rounds, he recovers fast, AJ often gasses, AJ gets too excited when he lands a good punch. AJ may have the better overall resume but on paper Fury has fought at the highest level twice and won both times. AJ has not. He's just beaten a lot of very good level HWs.

[@TEEK466]

Elias Vergessen fair point..but wilder ain’t no top guy..he’s an average champion(who’s just beat luiz Ortiz)...I would have respected fury more if he gave klitschko he’s rematch like he ran twice..Fury try to preserve his body thats why I think fighting wilder next and then fighting Joshua won’t work well for him hence why he loves fighting bum in between big fights.fury will be beaten so easily by Joshua,summat like what we saw few weeks with Joyce and dubios...

Of all the videos you've put up this is the one I disagree with the most. Humility is a battle tactic! AJ has has that and you don't seem to understand that.

[@johnhendricks8140]

Tyson had to be more confident because people didnt feel should even get to fight Klitcko adding in his fighting style and his height reach advantage. I had a friend that said Aj didnt have killer instincts with Pulev, i felt Aj was being careful, the Ruiz loss might be the cause. Your right the the people who say and dont fall for propaganda be the same that spew someone else's propaganda.

There's more than one way to show confidence and domination. Look at Khabib vs McGregor. Domination by McGregor outside the ring. Domination by Khabib inside the ring.

[@ghostoftheyoutubefuture2630]

[@qaidikramuddin]

Don’t forget that Fury had been boxing for a long time. Comparing his confidence to that of Fury against Wlad isn’t fair. Fury was raised up in boxing.

[@Johndoe3786.]

Another intriguing look at boxing psychology 👍🏻

[@akvgfvc6679]

Hi Hatman, really loved this. You should do more on mindset and physiologically👌

[@nosherz]

A.j's stand out weakness can't be rectified with psychology unfortunately. It's obvious if he puts together two or more, sustained combo's in a round, his energy reserves immediately dip way into the red zone. For example, in the Klitschko fight he was completely out on his feet in round five, and was there for the taking - and it's been seen in flashes several times since. Anyone capable of forcing him to work at a tempo higher than he's comfortable with, round after round, will exploit this lack of stamina.

[@spartans7748]

Fury is powerless, Joshua wins later rounds

[@nosherz]

@@spartans7748 A.J's team have managed bring him to the verge of a massive lottery payday cash out fight, when he hasn't even been properly tested - think about that. Of A.J's last 2 opponents, one weighed about 40 stone, and another was pushing 40, with not even one current meaningful name on his c.v. He would've got exposed in the Parker fight, but was aided by the most scandalous refereeing you'll ever see in a boxing ring.

[@blaccpanther8715]

Regarding confidence, I believe that beyond a certain threshold, confidence is overrated and at worst can even become pathological. To illustrate this, look no further than the Wilder. You just have to imagine that Deontay Wilder is a more confident actor than Anthony Joshua, yet in this case, the more confident fighter is not the more self evidently mentally strong.

[@blaccpanther8715]
