Everyone says Usyk is small. He's 6'3", 220 lbs, 78 in reach. The exact same as MOHAMMAD ALI.. They even have the same birthday, Jan 17... I'm surprised nobody ever brings this up...
Thank's Hatman , everyone wanted an excuse to hate AJ looks like to me. A lot of people happy he had a meltdown and have overblown it. These Sunday boxing fans are irritating. An objective view is refreshing to hear.
Hatman did you see the video showing how AJ actually got the belts in his hand? This guy actually snatched them from Usyks team. All the time Usyk and his team was staring him down as he threw the belts out the ring. They were beyond pissed but kept their composure. You MUST watch that video to get a true sense of how disrespectful AJ was.
@Kareem. Agree. The clips show A.J. snatching the belts that did not belong to hm.. Usyk's team did hold it together. And I noticed that Usyk himself was stoic but pissed. At one point Usyk gestured for A.J. to return that Ukraine flag.
Hatman compares AJ's behaviour to boxing's bad boys, including a convict and a murderer. And also to himself and how he personally would react. Except AJ never wanted to be compared to 'lesser' people like them, he wanted to be mentioned alongside all-time greats, Holyfield, Foreman, Marciano and Ali. And is it really any 'insult' being compared one of Britain's most loved heavyweight champions, Frank Bruno?? Bruno was a great champion and character. A true 'man of the people' who gets loved wherever he goes. Yet Hatman reckons AJ is 'frustrated' being compared to him. That tells you all you need to know. AJ doesnt even want comparing to Lennox Lewis. Another great champion, one of boxing's goats, who offered to train him, and told him rightly to change trainers, yet he gets called 'a clown'. AJ thought he'd beaten Usyk both times after getting totally outclassed! Nah, AJ WAS rightly heckled Hatman, it's time he came back down to earth and took the red pill of reality. True champions are cut from a different cloth.

Joshua calling himself a sponge makes sense now. Soaking up all that criticism, hate, pressure… ontop of all those lessons he’s already been ‘learning!’🥵🧽💥
@@mike619 I read that for what it was. And you’re absolutely right. He soaks everything up. I feel bad for him, look forward to the underdog comeback story. Hopefully…
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm_4023 fury has held every belt, has held the ring mag more times, beat reigning Klitschko not Charles Martin, oh and if he beats usyk there will simply be no argument. He will have tied Ali for holding the ring title 3 times, the only guy to do so.
Even in the heat of the moment AJ apologised and said “sorry guys, I’m sorry” when he realised Usyk wanted the flag off his back. I can’t believe everyone turning on him. He’s done loads and been a pretty decent role model. It’s reminiscent of the Euro cup final penalty shoot out.
I ll keep saying it. If aj were uglier and less famous and had a lighter complexion, i am sure many of this arm chair fans wouldn’t have that much of a problem
I think a lot of people misunderstand this situation. Although it wasn't right to lash out after the fight like that, AJ wasn't trying to insult Usyk at all. When Usyk said to AJ that "he's strong", AJ said to Usyk "I don't care about strong, you're not strong how did you beat me? With skill". People think this is AJ disrespecting Usyk but that's not what it was at all. AJ was basically saying that even though Usyk said he's strong, it doesn't matter because he got beat by someone who is not as strong as him. AJ was mad at himself, not at Usyk, and a lot of people seem to get that wrong. No wonder AJ had all this rage build up with all the unnecessary hate that he gets 🙄
I understood that, but he was starting on his pals and still talking in aggressive tones, i think he was also slightly confused and wasnt even making full sense and even this could be accidental confusion and he was being a dick to usyk but maybe thats a stretch i dunno, 1 thing for sure is he has mental issues and has had since before Ruiz 1 and this was the final outcome of years of bottling emotions up that maybe even made it worse and finally his final chance of being top again after 3 losses in 5 and the final drop he just let it go. But he def has mental issues and this might be his 1st step to getting better, he even said in a interview he had 2 people to beat Usyk and his own head, def talking about that.
Another point I want to make is AJ haters making up dumb narratives that AJ is a "psychopath" or an "egomaniac". It's so stupid its funny 😂 Haters will really go this far to call someone a psycho even though they don't know what it means 🤣
All sore losers who cant accept their loss get clowned. Nobody has ever been appreciated for being a sore loser and throwing a adult tantrum ! Nice try though.
Finally someone pointing out how unfair the general public have been toward AJ im not even a proper fan of the guy and I’m like why does this guy get so much hate?
It was definitely cringe, especially when he left the ring and came back 😂 but I agree, it's not even in the top 30 of craziest things have happened in a the ring. Maybe it's the first boxing match these people have seen. That aside, AJ did a lot better this time around, no shame in losing to Usyk in a competitive fight. Losing when you try you best at this stage, must be feel terrible but the same time, this fight might make him better in the long run. There are still many big fights out there for him, at the top of that list is Wilder.
aj did good , he was better than ever , i believe he still has a very good chance of getting one of the belts back in the future, have a good rest champ, you showed heart that night
As Hatman was giving examples of outrageous ring behavior, I also was thinking of that James Butler incident. AJ's certainly wasn't up there with that kind of stuff, but it still sucked. AJ wasn't at his home turf, he was in another part of the world infringing upon the winner. Aside from the verbiage, the throwing of Usyk's belts might have been the worst move. Soon the dust will settle and we'll all be onto other things in the boxing world.
Yes it’s explaining everything, to the dumb people in this comments section. My guess would be they are young and impressionable making them believe any old crap as long as it lines up with their way of thinking.
AJ's knew full well it's the last time anybody was going to take him seriously as a fighter, so why not throw your weight around and act like some kind of 'alpha' Killer in a controlled environment. Never had that same energy for Fury or Whyte when he met them outside the ring when they've clowned him his entire career, as he knows full well there ain't no Robert Garcia or Rob McCracken to throw the towel in for him on the streets
AJ also trashed the dressing room after the right. It’s been reported that multiple TVs were smashed out, tables flipped out, holes in walls, he was heated.
I love how this is the worst thing to happen in boxing for many ‘fans’ yet when deontay blamed everything from drunk refs to spiked water when he lost to Fury that was just somewhat ignored huh? 🤣
If you're in the public eye you get the most hurtful things said about you and that goes for anyone, anybody else old enough to remember Spitting Image? AJ behaved like somebody that surrounds himself with people who tell him how great he is all the time, he is filthy rich after all. A tantrum that will haunt him for a long time.
Reminds me of the rock. When he started in wwe he was the nice guy, and the fans hated him. Then he switched it up, became the bad guy and had more arrogance and attitude ans they loved it.
TBH I'm looking forward to seeing AJ as a contender. Relax, fight some lower level fights, expand your skill set, work with Garcia, make another run in a couple years when you've got new tricks in the bag. As far as the "meltdown", no big deal. Disappointing loss. AJ is melting down like he's melting down gold bars in the basement. He'll be fine. AJ 2.0 let's go !!
Much love and respect to Usyk for being a hero to his country. AJ went into full Femi mode over the fight, he tried but Usyk was always a step ahead of him. Usyk is an all time great and is up there with Mayweather and Ward. As one of the best fighters that's come out of the past 20 years.
I did appreciate Usyks response to AJ chucking the belts, shrugs shoulders, Ok ill just get them back🤷♂️ he did and he will contunue to. Usyk showing AJ what a real champion looks like. AJ has been schooled in and out of the ring by Usyk. I hope AJ is doing his homework.
I thought AJ was really funny & I've never seen a Heavyweight complain about being too tall and too big to beat his smaller opponent. I was far more concerned about the US Judge giving AJ the win that's what was weird. Honestly though Usyk was ruthless rounds 10, 11, 12 he turned on the gas & just took the piss outta AJ.
I found it entertaining, and he happened to ride a rollercoaster of emotions in front of everybody that everyone feels, especially when you fail. For us regular folk, that's an interview, job promotion, failed college courses, etc
Ain't been commenting across Sports platforms for quite some time but always listening in and liking videos of course. Great stuff as always Hatman bro.
AJ is not a kid and his fans should not treat him like one. He was in all the World class amateur championships, the Olympics and fought former Olympians and Champions. All elite champions have problems and need to adjust during their careers. I respect AJ for the work he has done so far, he'll be back. But let's not treat him like he is still a kid who just began boxing.
AJ has finally turned HEEL. Now all he needs is to become HEAD OF THE TABLE, THE TRIBAL CHIEF, and we will have AJ 2.0, in GOD MODE. Go again, with the bad man style and go out on a HIGH. I cant wait.........
@@ManicMarxman Definitely. Rock 2000 was the baddest on the mic. Imagine Heel AJ vs Fury on the mic. Seriously, if AJ had a manny steward type trainer, he could come again, like Lewis did. He has the tools, but its whether he has it mentally.
On the money as usual Hatman. Whilst AJ’s rant was out of order, I can’t help but feel sorry for the man. Not in recent memory can I think of a professional athlete so wildly disrespected by the public despite his achievements and routinely gaslight by other fighters who refused offers to fight him (whatever the reason) along the way. Now when he finally snaps after all the pressure and emotional torment people turn around and call him the bully all along. It’s honestly outrageous 😂. I challenge any of his critics to withstand the amount of abuse he’s had to these past years and make it as long as he did before they explode. If I recall correctly I think you’ve touched on this before some time ago but in my opinion the true reason a lot of the public hate AJ is less to do with him and more to do with their own insecurity. I imagine a lot of them have sat there come fight night and had to listen to their missus bang on about how good looking he is and it’s likely wound them up to no end😂. talk about being a victim of your own success………
Worst part about the whole thing it was Usyk’s victory and his victory speech would have been about the war in his country. Joshua took that moment away from him and he’ll never get it back. Awful
You're proving Hatman's point about the beta-males trying to kick AJ while he's down. People are more pissed off about it than Usyk is...that's just strange.
I’m not pissed off about it at all just think it’s a shame for Usyk. Everything he’s been through would have been nice to let him have his moment is all
Absolutely iv been watching boxing for 36 years and iv seen 10 x worse some boxing fans today of fury aj and wilder but mainly fury fans now just make me laugh these guys don't know boxing hands down
Your completely ignoring that AJ robbed Usyk of making a statement about the slaughter of tens of thousands of his country folk. Completely transcends boxing.
@@KingsV1 exactly. I understand that some fighters might not be someone's cup of tea...but AJ's always getting disrespected or harshly criticized for some weird reason. It really is weird..
@@DeejayBuchi Frazer Clarke explained it perfectly on the night - One of AJ`s well paid ` Yes Men ` should of grabbed the microphone off him in gave it to the unified world ( who's country has been under attack for the last 6 months ) champion + throwing another mans belts out of the ring is unforgivable . When Fury KO`s Usyk , AJ will have the chance to become undisputed world champion as long as he accepts 20% purse split .
Joshua didn't use his Jab enough - He is a tall fighter and he should fight tall! He was still crunched up with his hands tight to his chest! He needs to go and watch some tapes of Lennox Lewis and Mohamed Ali to see how well they used their size and reach to their full potential
That meltdown was inevitable..Eddie Hearn,Tony Bellew and channels like this are s#$%ing him off saying he's the best thing since sliced bread, at the end of the day he can't cash those checks.
He threw the belts about of the ring... Raged around.... Stole the mic.... raged in back.... Cried.... threatened Usyks men... threatened an old man.... He even got on the Mic and attempted to spit out some incoherent jibberish... Anthony Joshua is totally finished
@@mannya4218 Yea I boxed amateur... and everytime I lost I held my composure & remained a sportsman (if you have ever boxed you know what I'm talking about, after losing a big tournament bout the little child inside you wants to RAGE🔥) but you have to have discipline & control yourself... AJ chose the route of spoiled baby & it was very hard to watch.
@@mannya4218 LOLOLOL I have definately boiled a few mouthpieces in my day bud you have no clue what you are speaking on... over 30 amateur bouts I fought in smokers I repped in Gym vs. Gym wars... the truth here is that YOU have never boxed & that's why you aren't able to make any points & you are just muttering the same false statement.
Finally some one talking sense on this subject. Did you see Simon Jordan’s ridiculous comments on talksport (vid on yt) ?? and the worst thing about it is everyone in the comments agreed with him smh. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Bellew has put him straight since and put Simon Jordan well in his place. But again, the comments were shocking against Bellew and AJ.
@@peternagy-im4be lol indeed!!! 😂 he should stick to being a bad businessman and putting football clubs into administration like he did with Crystal Palace
Defending the indefensible is what your doing in these videos. You dont think he said anything wrong? He basically told a man who's been fighting for his own country, and watching it get bombed, and probably lost friends and family through it, that he has had this terrible, hard life. Hes lived a life of luxury compared to most people. You might fall for the mr nice guy act, but I'm certainly not.
Usyk hasn't been fighting on the front lets get that straight... secondly usyk was extremely well paid because of AJ... AJ created all that money his status by himself... lots of fighter's got rich of the back of Joshua British boxing got rich RUclips channels got rich with views because of AJ... people need to take AJ's nonsense and love it...👍
AJ trying to be too humble cost him. Fury-Wilder were constantly mouthing off to journos and controlling the publics narrative. AJ needs to forget about being looked up to as a role model for kids and play the PR game that Fury does.
Once again wonderfully contextualised by Hatman, this is boxing a sport where some of its greatest exponents have been complete nutcases just look at the life and times of Carlos Monzon, AJ just blowing of steam a bit embarrassing but nothing more
@julian marx No I didn’t say that at all, my point was what happened with AJ needs to be put into its proper context, some people are making out like his committed the biggest transgression ever and he clearly hasn’t that’s my point
Great video. I really hope people listen and learn something from this. What AJ did was more cringe than anything else. Im convinced fight fans just love finding something to hate on. Its clear to see that AJ has had things bottled up for years. And that was only a small part of it coming out there. I've also never understood the narrative of Joshua not being who he really is? As if people act the exact same in every setting. Does no one go to work and act slightly more professional? Especially with all the brand deals this man gets. AJ is still AJ there's just times when he's more reserved than others just like the rest of us
Being the defeated fighter, A.J. should have waited to be interviewed second (duh). Then Usyk could have basked in some glory for himself and his country. That would have been an emotional and memorable moment.
Thank you for this video Hatman. Putting some prospective in that situation that's not that bad. Boxing is a brutal sport and it will test anyone's character. The people criticizing him can't even stand losing a Playstation/Xbox game without throwing a tantrum.

@@michaellitten4538 mister righteous, Mike Tyson threw tantrums, same thing with Lennox and a lot of boxers before Joshua, including Wilder and Fury. We didn't see the moral brigade come out. Get a life already
@@bosshogg1915 My point is that it makes boxing interesting but people just dog AJ all the time like they would've even known about this fight if he didn't act out
I’m excited for this next phase of AJ’s career. I mean there’s nothing like an AJ fight night and that won’t change because of two losses to a p4p great. If his mindset is right, and he is still dedicated to the sport I think he can have some real career defining wins in the next 3/4 years. Like if you think about it, he’s been fighting with the handbrake on since the Parker fight, going into the ring with the “must not lose” attitude as opposed to the “seek and destroy” mentality he showed us at the start of his career and obviously all to do with the pressure that he had on his shoulders. And hear me out. Now, I don’t think AJ beats fury but AJ fighting fury with 3 losses AND nothing to lose (since everybody already thinks he’s a hype job) makes that fight a lot more interesting than if AJ went in there still trying to protect his record. The pressure would all be on Fury because he’s the self-proclaimed HW king and AJ would just be a stiff body builder who has two losses to a “middleweight” (as Fury put it). Still an interesting fight since we all know that heavy weight boxing is heavyweight boxing. 👍🏽
Joshua's immediate future isn't as bad as it seems, although it (ironically) depends on Fury's success. If Fury beats Usyk in December then I think he does genuinely retire at that point, which makes sense (undefeated, not losing the belts in the ring, first man to unify the 4 belts etc). Then suddenly there's 4 route back to a world championship. If Fury doesn't retire it will only because he wants Joshua on his resume before he does so he'll look to offer him a match
I re watched the rant and it wasn't as bad as what people made out 🤣 🤣 🤣 usyk only looked at Joshua like why you fucking do that was after he chucked the belts out that's it
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. As one of the few cashcows in boxing, AJ is under a unique amount of pressure. He's caught between 2 'masks': the consummate professional/ambassador, and the ambitious fighter who wants to be a dominant champion. He's making a fortune everytime he fights, and his opponents are starting to making fortunes too. His unique status in the sport made him become a corporate-friendly figure, but he had to submerge his emotions in the process. It's not part of AJ's brand to be a looney-tune like Fury/Wilder/Chisora, so his outburst is gonna be perceived as him 'breaking character'. AJ showed what we all knew, he's HUMAN. It was probably the worst time to have an emotional outburst, but it's probably best that it happened sooner rather than later. Worst case scenario would've been AJ putting hands on a heckler in the street.
Hatman compares AJ's behaviour to boxing's bad boys, including a convict and a murderer. And also to himself and how he personally would react. Except AJ never wanted to be compared to 'lesser' people like them, he wanted to be mentioned alongside all-time greats, Holyfield, Foreman, Marciano and Ali.

@@The_Reality_Filter AJ gets such a lack of respect. I regret being so happy when Ruiz knocked him out, despite winning a good bet. Joshua can't be everything to everyone all of the time. Kissin old women on the way to the ring, the endless endorsements and advertisements, and the desperate effort to turn him into the sportsman human being of the century. People often criticize Joshua because it's like you can't be 'too' perfect. Perfect physique, perfect appearance, humble and loving, always in the spotlight. I felt sorry for him after the rematch. No one in the division post the Klitschko era has anything close to the record Joshua has. I think Joshua should've left his old team earlier, and not let Eddie Hearn be his permanent spokesperson. I never thought I'd so passionately want Joshua to win a fight in my life, and I think he realized he didn't do as much as he could've over the 12. Joshua is NOT Frank Bruno 2.0.
@@patriceaqa288 I'd could say that's disrespectful to Frank Bruno. You could argue that Bruno fought a higher standard of opposition than AJ has, no shame in losing to prime Tyson and Lewis...who is AJ's biggest win..old man Klitschko?
I did't see what AJ did as terrible or offensive - just a bit embarrassing and sad.. when it happened I was watching the fight with a mate and we both turned to each other... raised our eyebrows and laughed at what he was doing... it was AJ's 'Kevin Keegan' moment...
For years he's been told he's the poster boy of UK boxing and that he's a "role model" and "an inspiration" while netting millions from lucrative sponsorship deals but that only lasts as long as you stay in the win column and keep banging your opponents out. Now we're seeing the real AJ. I hope he fully embraces it and fixes his "I fight like an 18 stone LHW" and mental issues and gets back to winning as I believe British boxing is richer place with him in it. I want to see more of the Roadman from Watford.
AJ had to play a certain role in order to endear himself to the British public, similar to Frank Bruno. Frank Bruno ended up a mental wreck because of it. AJ needed to let that out. Could of come out in a better way but it weren’t that deep ffs. You lot talking about he’s a disgrace ect are always look for an excuse to look at certain people as a terrifying force
Firstly AJ didn’t have to play that role , he chose to and as such when you face plant like he did then he only has himself to blame for his stupidity. In addition if this had been the first time he made a jack ass of himself then I’m sure more people would have given him the benefit of doubt but it isn’t so he will rightly get called out.
And that's it right there Hatman...there are more fanboys than boxing fans making these idiotic remarks. They don't know the history of the sport and can't see past their bias.
Eddie heearn did not know the head trainer was. Joshua should have been sparring middleweight who can move like usyk. Maybe just body sparring. Joshua needs lennox Lewis now, he might want him but who else can help him
Aj saying to usyk ain't strong was PATHATIC he's lost me as a fan dude thinks if ur smaller them him u shouldn't beat him no wonder he got Ko'd by ruiz
He said something like "I don't care about strong, you beat me with skill, your not strong how did you beat me" he was saying being strong doesn't matter and Usyk is more skilled than him basically.
Because fury has a zero to hero story. His depression story spoke to millions. He marketed himself very well. People love champs. I do feel sorry for aj.
I watched loads of pre fight interviews from boxing channels over in Saudi Arabia and one of them stuck me the most .. one of Joshua camp guys said that he was knocking guys down to the canvas during camp in preparation for uysk… but u could see he was saying it to build hype .. now these YES MEN !! Aj has around him r extremely toxic and destroyed his sense of reality
The difference is that aj was holding himself to a different standard of being pc. Tyson both fury and Mike dillian whyte etc dont have a pc persona so when aj flips goes against everything he tried to show himself. So its not about is it understandable that he had a melt down its about the fact that he's going against his pc persona which is why people hold him to a different standard
I know unification takes precedent, but I would rather watch TF vs AJ purely based on the entertainment value, as for my pure boxing side, TF vs usyk, is a battle of 2 masters… both are amazing fights for opposite reasons.
Hatman is absolutely correct with this. AJ is now being labelled narcissistic and so forth despite it being one outburst on the basis where he should be given credit for what he has done within boxing considering where he began compared to others within the division. In my opinion adopting a humble persona despite being admirable and good PR has stabbed him in the back, where others such as Fury and Wilder are unapologetic for how egotistical and outspoken they are compared to AJ. Hatman put it well in context where individuals can react to situations rashly on a smaller scale, and AJ on a much larger scale and as a premier fighter who's revolutionised British boxing should be given the benefit of the doubt from all those years that critique and pressure to perform where he hasn't made rebutles to have his say. Despite it being unsportsman like to take Usyk's moment of glory, AJ is right to be aggrieved of the decision and the entire situation is overblown. This can be a instigator of change within his career though, with new trainers and a new mindset and if he continues to improve his technical competencies and remains active he could well get back to the top. Improvements where evident from the first couple rounds but the mental and physical fatigue got to him, where his defence was more open to clean Usyk shots.
Everyone says Usyk is small. He's 6'3", 220 lbs, 78 in reach. The exact same as MOHAMMAD ALI.. They even have the same birthday, Jan 17... I'm surprised nobody ever brings this up...

Very good analysis. I guess the old saying that you're never gonna please everyone, so you might as well please yourself is true.
I think a lot of people misunderstand this situation. Although it wasn't right to lash out after the fight like that, AJ wasn't trying to insult Usyk at all.
When Usyk said to AJ that "he's strong", AJ said to Usyk "I don't care about strong, you're not strong how did you beat me? With skill". People think this is AJ disrespecting Usyk but that's not what it was at all. AJ was basically saying that even though Usyk said he's strong, it doesn't matter because he got beat by someone who is not as strong as him. AJ was mad at himself, not at Usyk, and a lot of people seem to get that wrong. No wonder AJ had all this rage build up with all the unnecessary hate that he gets 🙄
I understood that, but he was starting on his pals and still talking in aggressive tones, i think he was also slightly confused and wasnt even making full sense and even this could be accidental confusion and he was being a dick to usyk but maybe thats a stretch i dunno, 1 thing for sure is he has mental issues and has had since before Ruiz 1 and this was the final outcome of years of bottling emotions up that maybe even made it worse and finally his final chance of being top again after 3 losses in 5 and the final drop he just let it go. But he def has mental issues and this might be his 1st step to getting better, he even said in a interview he had 2 people to beat Usyk and his own head, def talking about that.
Facts! Love big AJ, hope he gets himself together mentally!
You said it better than me. You got it perfectly right.
AJ shouldve just said well done.
@@stub1256 He did though 😂
Another point I want to make is AJ haters making up dumb narratives that AJ is a "psychopath" or an "egomaniac". It's so stupid its funny 😂 Haters will really go this far to call someone a psycho even though they don't know what it means 🤣
Pencil neck students I'm absolutely dying😅🤣
It's strange to me that for some reason AJ is expected to be perfect, but most other fighters are appreciated and respected for their flaws
All sore losers who cant accept their loss get clowned. Nobody has ever been appreciated for being a sore loser and throwing a adult tantrum ! Nice try though.
Other fighters don't pretend to be some holy humble nice guy then as soon as they start losing turn into a thug.
Finally someone pointing out how unfair the general public have been toward AJ im not even a proper fan of the guy and I’m like why does this guy get so much hate?
Please don’t forget the tremendous dignity displayed by Usyk . What a class act he is
It was definitely cringe, especially when he left the ring and came back 😂 but I agree, it's not even in the top 30 of craziest things have happened in a the ring. Maybe it's the first boxing match these people have seen.
That aside, AJ did a lot better this time around, no shame in losing to Usyk in a competitive fight. Losing when you try you best at this stage, must be feel terrible but the same time, this fight might make him better in the long run. There are still many big fights out there for him, at the top of that list is Wilder.
I box mate and I can remember Oliver Mcall having a break down vs Lewis
It's rocket science. He fell victim to his own ego.
Complete rocket science!!
Glad your job at NASA helped you to be able to explain this to us.
Appreciate this scientific break down
aj did good , he was better than ever , i believe he still has a very good chance of getting one of the belts back in the future, have a good rest champ, you showed heart that night
AJ talking like he was gonna get 35 years for a 9 bar! For a first offence he wouldn’t have got a custodial! Second drug offence 3-6 months 🤦♂️😂🤣🐌
As Hatman was giving examples of outrageous ring behavior, I also was thinking of that James Butler incident. AJ's certainly wasn't up there with that kind of stuff, but it still sucked. AJ wasn't at his home turf, he was in another part of the world infringing upon the winner. Aside from the verbiage, the throwing of Usyk's belts might have been the worst move. Soon the dust will settle and we'll all be onto other things in the boxing world.
Anthony Joshua has brought so much more interest in this Heavy Weight Era...
Yh and ruined himself a title as stupid!
Cant believe some people will find a way to critic this video. This video is explaining everything. Thank you !
Yes it’s explaining everything, to the dumb people in this comments section. My guess would be they are young and impressionable making them believe any old crap as long as it lines up with their way of thinking.
AJ's knew full well it's the last time anybody was going to take him seriously as a fighter, so why not throw your weight around and act like some kind of 'alpha' Killer in a controlled environment.
Never had that same energy for Fury or Whyte when he met them outside the ring when they've clowned him his entire career, as he knows full well there ain't no Robert Garcia or Rob McCracken to throw the towel in for him on the streets
AJ also trashed the dressing room after the right. It’s been reported that multiple TVs were smashed out, tables flipped out, holes in walls, he was heated.
I love how this is the worst thing to happen in boxing for many ‘fans’ yet when deontay blamed everything from drunk refs to spiked water when he lost to Fury that was just somewhat ignored huh? 🤣
If you're in the public eye you get the most hurtful things said about you and that goes for anyone, anybody else old enough to remember Spitting Image? AJ behaved like somebody that surrounds himself with people who tell him how great he is all the time, he is filthy rich after all. A tantrum that will haunt him for a long time.
Get over it . Stick to watching women’s football or something.
it was a bit cringe the meltdown but thats about it .... its not that deep
You just may be the most educated, informed boxing reporter/channel out there! Thanks!🙂👍🏾👏🏾
Reminds me of the rock. When he started in wwe he was the nice guy, and the fans hated him. Then he switched it up, became the bad guy and had more arrogance and attitude ans they loved it.
TBH I'm looking forward to seeing AJ as a contender. Relax, fight some lower level fights, expand your skill set, work with Garcia, make another run in a couple years when you've got new tricks in the bag. As far as the "meltdown", no big deal. Disappointing loss. AJ is melting down like he's melting down gold bars in the basement. He'll be fine. AJ 2.0 let's go !!
Much love and respect to Usyk for being a hero to his country. AJ went into full Femi mode over the fight, he tried but Usyk was always a step ahead of him. Usyk is an all time great and is up there with Mayweather and Ward. As one of the best fighters that's come out of the past 20 years.
I did appreciate Usyks response to AJ chucking the belts, shrugs shoulders, Ok ill just get them back🤷♂️ he did and he will contunue to. Usyk showing AJ what a real champion looks like. AJ has been schooled in and out of the ring by Usyk. I hope AJ is doing his homework.
I thought AJ was really funny & I've never seen a Heavyweight complain about being too tall and too big to beat his smaller opponent. I was far more concerned about the US Judge giving AJ the win that's what was weird. Honestly though Usyk was ruthless rounds 10, 11, 12 he turned on the gas & just took the piss outta AJ.
I found it entertaining, and he happened to ride a rollercoaster of emotions in front of everybody that everyone feels, especially when you fail. For us regular folk, that's an interview, job promotion, failed college courses, etc
Think Peter Fury's assessment of this was the best
Finally someone calling it what it was ! A complete meltdown. Not a passionate speech . Dude then gave what amounts to a victory speech after a loss !
Ain't been commenting across Sports platforms for quite some time but always listening in and liking videos of course. Great stuff as always Hatman bro.
I don't think any of these heavyweights should retire there's too many fights left on the table.
Brilliant video, your insight and straight talking is second to none mate 👍
Totally agree with your 'AJ Explique'. Fact is, any boxer with this behaviour gonna pay dues behind it.
Wilder is a complete and utter helmet. But let’s be honest, he’s been missed from the division this last year
AJ is not a kid and his fans should not treat him like one. He was in all the World class amateur championships, the Olympics and fought former Olympians and Champions. All elite champions have problems and need to adjust during their careers. I respect AJ for the work he has done so far, he'll be back. But let's not treat him like he is still a kid who just began boxing.
Been a while since I've heard someone called an old tart. Reminds me of better times. 😌
AJ has finally turned HEEL. Now all he needs is to become HEAD OF THE TABLE, THE TRIBAL CHIEF, and we will have AJ 2.0, in GOD MODE. Go again, with the bad man style and go out on a HIGH. I cant wait.........
@@ManicMarxman NOOOOOO, anyone but Cena, although you could have a point
@@ManicMarxman Definitely. Rock 2000 was the baddest on the mic. Imagine Heel AJ vs Fury on the mic. Seriously, if AJ had a manny steward type trainer, he could come again, like Lewis did. He has the tools, but its whether he has it mentally.
On the money as usual Hatman. Whilst AJ’s rant was out of order, I can’t help but feel sorry for the man. Not in recent memory can I think of a professional athlete so wildly disrespected by the public despite his achievements and routinely gaslight by other fighters who refused offers to fight him (whatever the reason) along the way. Now when he finally snaps after all the pressure and emotional torment people turn around and call him the bully all along. It’s honestly outrageous 😂. I challenge any of his critics to withstand the amount of abuse he’s had to these past years and make it as long as he did before they explode. If I recall correctly I think you’ve touched on this before some time ago but in my opinion the true reason a lot of the public hate AJ is less to do with him and more to do with their own insecurity. I imagine a lot of them have sat there come fight night and had to listen to their missus bang on about how good looking he is and it’s likely wound them up to no end😂. talk about being a victim of your own success………
@@alitwiglet he has been humble for a long time and you called him a fake now he reacts you call him a cry baby geez
Worst part about the whole thing it was Usyk’s victory and his victory speech would have been about the war in his country. Joshua took that moment away from him and he’ll never get it back. Awful
In that case I'm glad AJ ruined it. Keep politics out of sport.
@@Infern0121 ong
You're proving Hatman's point about the beta-males trying to kick AJ while he's down. People are more pissed off about it than Usyk is...that's just strange.
Usyk had his speech, what the hell are you talking about?
I’m not pissed off about it at all just think it’s a shame for Usyk. Everything he’s been through would have been nice to let him have his moment is all
Absolutely iv been watching boxing for 36 years and iv seen 10 x worse some boxing fans today of fury aj and wilder but mainly fury fans now just make me laugh these guys don't know boxing hands down
Man Great show I were just getting updated with the fight
Your completely ignoring that AJ robbed Usyk of making a statement about the slaughter of tens of thousands of his country folk. Completely transcends boxing.
You lots just dont like the guy lol. Usyk had a whole interview after for more 5 mins. You go on like after aj’s pipe bomb usyk didnt get the mic
This lol.
Some guys don't understand the value of dignity. It's just primal dick swinging idiocy.
@@KingsV1 exactly. I understand that some fighters might not be someone's cup of tea...but AJ's always getting disrespected or harshly criticized for some weird reason. It really is weird..
Usyk made his statement for almost 10minutes. AJ held the Ukrainian flag up with him too. Shut up!
@@DeejayBuchi Frazer Clarke explained it perfectly on the night - One of AJ`s well paid ` Yes Men ` should of grabbed the microphone off him in gave it to the unified world ( who's country has been under attack for the last 6 months ) champion + throwing another mans belts out of the ring is unforgivable . When Fury KO`s Usyk , AJ will have the chance to become undisputed world champion as long as he accepts 20% purse split .
Love your videos and analysis, man.
How dare you🤣..that voice killed me
Joshua didn't use his Jab enough - He is a tall fighter and he should fight tall!
He was still crunched up with his hands tight to his chest!
He needs to go and watch some tapes of Lennox Lewis and Mohamed Ali to see how well they used their size and reach to their full potential
Great insight. Great video as always.I only watch you and counterpunch boxing. Wish you 2 would do a colab. That would be sick. Keep it up anyways 👊🏾
That meltdown was inevitable..Eddie Hearn,Tony Bellew and channels like this are s#$%ing him off saying he's the best thing since sliced bread, at the end of the day he can't cash those checks.
Never got the AJ hate, he has been great for British boxing and the HW division. I don't care for a one off outburst
He threw the belts about of the ring... Raged around.... Stole the mic.... raged in back.... Cried.... threatened Usyks men... threatened an old man.... He even got on the Mic and attempted to spit out some incoherent jibberish... Anthony Joshua is totally finished
You've never boxed before have you
@@mannya4218 Yea I boxed amateur... and everytime I lost I held my composure & remained a sportsman (if you have ever boxed you know what I'm talking about, after losing a big tournament bout the little child inside you wants to RAGE🔥) but you have to have discipline & control yourself...

Finally some one talking sense on this subject. Did you see Simon Jordan’s ridiculous comments on talksport (vid on yt) ?? and the worst thing about it is everyone in the comments agreed with him smh. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Bellew has put him straight since and put Simon Jordan well in his place. But again, the comments were shocking against Bellew and AJ.
Who the feck is Simon Jordan?
@@peternagy-im4be lol indeed!!! 😂 he should stick to being a bad businessman and putting football clubs into administration like he did with Crystal Palace
@@fatalitydnb never heard of him
Defending the indefensible is what your doing in these videos. You dont think he said anything wrong? He basically told a man who's been fighting for his own country, and watching it get bombed, and probably lost friends and family through it, that he has had this terrible, hard life. Hes lived a life of luxury compared to most people. You might fall for the mr nice guy act, but I'm certainly not.
Usyk hasn't been fighting on the front lets get that straight... secondly usyk was extremely well paid because of AJ... AJ created all that money his status by himself... lots of fighter's got rich of the back of Joshua British boxing got rich RUclips channels got rich with views because of AJ... people need to take AJ's nonsense and love it...👍
James you are way to fanatical imo. That comment was seriously Romanticized.
Thank you Hatman for making a video that explained it perfectly. Keep it up champ.🥊
AJ trying to be too humble cost him. Fury-Wilder were constantly mouthing off to journos and controlling the publics narrative. AJ needs to forget about being looked up to as a role model for kids and play the PR game that Fury does.
Too late, he’s supposed to be a role model for the youth. This is not wrestling where you can just change from week to week.
Hatman keep this funny stuff up, killin me bro 😂 old tart
Once again wonderfully contextualised by Hatman, this is boxing a sport where some of its greatest exponents have been complete nutcases just look at the life and times of Carlos Monzon, AJ just blowing of steam a bit embarrassing but nothing more
🎯💯
@julian marx
No I didn’t say that at all, my point was what happened with AJ needs to be put into its proper context, some people are making out like his committed the biggest transgression ever and he clearly hasn’t that’s my point
Great video. I really hope people listen and learn something from this. What AJ did was more cringe than anything else. Im convinced fight fans just love finding something to hate on. Its clear to see that AJ has had things bottled up for years. And that was only a small part of it coming out there.
I've also never understood the narrative of Joshua not being who he really is? As if people act the exact same in every setting. Does no one go to work and act slightly more professional? Especially with all the brand deals this man gets. AJ is still AJ there's just times when he's more reserved than others just like the rest of us
Being the defeated fighter, A.J. should have waited to be interviewed second (duh). Then Usyk could have basked in some glory for himself and his country. That would have been an emotional and memorable moment.
People love over reacting when it's AJ 😂. Any other boxer there would be excuses for daaaaaaays
Thank you for this video Hatman. Putting some prospective in that situation that's not that bad. Boxing is a brutal sport and it will test anyone's character. The people criticizing him can't even stand losing a Playstation/Xbox game without throwing a tantrum.
We don’t get millions to not throw tantrums. Pay up and I’ll happily stop….

@@michaellitten4538 mister righteous, Mike Tyson threw tantrums, same thing with Lennox and a lot of boxers before Joshua, including Wilder and Fury. We didn't see the moral brigade come out. Get a life already
Another good one Hatman.
If AJ didn't pick up the mic and start talking, no one would be talking about this fight.
Don't forget about the belts being tossed etc. 😂
@@bosshogg1915 My point is that it makes boxing interesting but people just dog AJ all the time like they would've even known about this fight if he didn't act out
I’m excited for this next phase of AJ’s career. I mean there’s nothing like an AJ fight night and that won’t change because of two losses to a p4p great. If his mindset is right, and he is still dedicated to the sport I think he can have some real career defining wins in the next 3/4 years. Like if you think about it, he’s been fighting with the handbrake on since the Parker fight, going into the ring with the “must not lose” attitude as opposed to the “seek and destroy” mentality he showed us at the start of his career and obviously all to do with the pressure that he had on his shoulders.
And hear me out. Now, I don’t think AJ beats fury but AJ fighting fury with 3 losses AND nothing to lose (since everybody already thinks he’s a hype job) makes that fight a lot more interesting than if AJ went in there still trying to protect his record. The pressure would all be on Fury because he’s the self-proclaimed HW king and AJ would just be a stiff body builder who has two losses to a “middleweight” (as Fury put it). Still an interesting fight since we all know that heavy weight boxing is heavyweight boxing. 👍🏽
Yeah people going overboard with this... Even Usyk didn't feel insulted... Cmon guys stop acting like spoiled rich girls... 😂
Joshua's immediate future isn't as bad as it seems, although it (ironically) depends on Fury's success. If Fury beats Usyk in December then I think he does genuinely retire at that point, which makes sense (undefeated, not losing the belts in the ring, first man to unify the 4 belts etc). Then suddenly there's 4 route back to a world championship. If Fury doesn't retire it will only because he wants Joshua on his resume before he does so he'll look to offer him a match
I re watched the rant and it wasn't as bad as what people made out 🤣 🤣 🤣 usyk only looked at Joshua like why you fucking do that was after he chucked the belts out that's it
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. As one of the few cashcows in boxing, AJ is under a unique amount of pressure. He's caught between 2 'masks': the consummate professional/ambassador, and the ambitious fighter who wants to be a dominant champion. He's making a fortune everytime he fights, and his opponents are starting to making fortunes too. His unique status in the sport made him become a corporate-friendly figure, but he had to submerge his emotions in the process. It's not part of AJ's brand to be a looney-tune like Fury/Wilder/Chisora, so his outburst is gonna be perceived as him 'breaking character'. AJ showed what we all knew, he's HUMAN. It was probably the worst time to have an emotional outburst, but it's probably best that it happened sooner rather than later. Worst case scenario would've been AJ putting hands on a heckler in the street.
💯💯💯
Hatman compares AJ's behaviour to boxing's bad boys, including a convict and a murderer. And also to himself and how he personally would react. Except AJ never wanted to be compared to 'lesser' people like them, he wanted to be mentioned alongside all-time greats, Holyfield, Foreman, Marciano and Ali.
And is it really any 'insult' being compared to one of Britain's most loved heavyweight champions, Frank Bruno?? Bruno was a great champion and character. A true 'man of the people' who gets loved wherever he goes. Yet Hatman reckons AJ is 'frustrated' being compared to him. That tells you all you need to know.
AJ doesnt even want comparing to Lennox Lewis. Another great champion, one of boxing's goats, who offered to train him, and told him rightly to change trainers, yet he gets called 'a clown'.
AJ thought he'd beaten Usyk both times after getting totally outclassed! Nah, AJ WAS rightly heckled Hatman, it's time he came back down to earth and took the red pill of reality. True champions are cut from a different cloth.
AJ isn't fit to tie Lennox Lewis' boots
@@The_Reality_Filter AJ gets such a lack of respect. I regret being so happy when Ruiz knocked him out, despite winning a good bet. Joshua can't be everything to everyone all of the time. Kissin old women on the way to the ring, the endless endorsements and advertisements, and the desperate effort to turn him into the sportsman human being of the century. People often criticize Joshua because it's like you can't be 'too' perfect. Perfect physique, perfect appearance, humble and loving, always in the spotlight. I felt sorry for him after the rematch. No one in the division post the Klitschko era has anything close to the record Joshua has. I think Joshua should've left his old team earlier, and not let Eddie Hearn be his permanent spokesperson. I never thought I'd so passionately want Joshua to win a fight in my life, and I think he realized he didn't do as much as he could've over the 12. Joshua is NOT Frank Bruno 2.0.
@@patriceaqa288 I'd could say that's disrespectful to Frank Bruno. You could argue that Bruno fought a higher standard of opposition than AJ has, no shame in losing to prime Tyson and Lewis...who is AJ's biggest win..old man Klitschko?
I agree, it’s not a big deal. It was awkward though. AJ doesn’t seem to have a identity. Wilder and Fury love ‘em or hate em, you know what to expect.
Very true, it's because he hid his identity and became a corporate robot. Many fighters have said his 'persona' is not the real him.
Great breakdown
I did't see what AJ did as terrible or offensive - just a bit embarrassing and sad.. when it happened I was watching the fight with a mate and we both turned to each other... raised our eyebrows and laughed at what he was doing... it was AJ's 'Kevin Keegan' moment...
IT WAS BEST PART OF FIGHT I NEARLY FELL. OF MY CHAIR IN THE PUB EVERYONE WAS BOOING BOOING LOL
For years he's been told he's the poster boy of UK boxing and that he's a "role model" and "an inspiration" while netting millions from lucrative sponsorship deals but that only lasts as long as you stay in the win column and keep banging your opponents out. Now we're seeing the real AJ. I hope he fully embraces it and fixes his "I fight like an 18 stone LHW" and mental issues and gets back to winning as I believe British boxing is richer place with him in it. I want to see more of the Roadman from Watford.
I don't like AJ, but there is also an issue with boxing - people too scared to lose, you don't see this in the UFC to anywhere near the same extent.
AJ had to play a certain role in order to endear himself to the British public, similar to Frank Bruno. Frank Bruno ended up a mental wreck because of it. AJ needed to let that out. Could of come out in a better way but it weren’t that deep ffs. You lot talking about he’s a disgrace ect are always look for an excuse to look at certain people as a terrifying force
💯 well said my friend
Firstly AJ didn’t have to play that role , he chose to and as such when you face plant like he did then he only has himself to blame for his stupidity. In addition if this had been the first time he made a jack ass of himself then I’m sure more people would have given him the benefit of doubt but it isn’t so he will rightly get called out.
And that's it right there Hatman...there are more fanboys than boxing fans making these idiotic remarks. They don't know the history of the sport and can't see past their bias.
Eddie heearn did not know the head trainer was.
Joshua should have been sparring middleweight who can move like usyk. Maybe just body sparring.
Joshua needs lennox Lewis now, he might want him but who else can help him
r u stupid? lewis is not a trainer
Aj saying to usyk ain't strong was PATHATIC he's lost me as a fan dude thinks if ur smaller them him u shouldn't beat him no wonder he got Ko'd by ruiz
You clearly lack the comprehension skills to understand the context of the conversation. Watch it again.
He said something like "I don't care about strong, you beat me with skill, your not strong how did you beat me" he was saying being strong doesn't matter and Usyk is more skilled than him basically.
You’re not understanding lol. Usyk said to AJ “you’re strong”. AJ says “you’re not strong, but you beat me. It’s about skill”. He’s praising him
here comes the we love boxing eastern europeans. who the hell in their right mind wants to see a dancing lomachenko in the heavyweight division?
You never was a fan you are a fanboy
Isn't it funny how a few years ago fury was considered a bum and aj was the hero and now it's the other way around
Because fury has a zero to hero story. His depression story spoke to millions. He marketed himself very well. People love champs. I do feel sorry for aj.
Bang on the money 💰 with this Hatman 👏 👌
HATMAN TOP G WEN IT COMES TO BOXIN
I watched loads of pre fight interviews from boxing channels over in Saudi Arabia and one of them stuck me the most .. one of Joshua camp guys said that he was knocking guys down to the canvas during camp in preparation for uysk… but u could see he was saying it to build hype .. now these YES MEN !! Aj has around him r extremely toxic and destroyed his sense of reality
This is why he needs to shed the good guy image and embrace the darkness. Fear > Respect
The difference is that aj was holding himself to a different standard of being pc. Tyson both fury and Mike dillian whyte etc dont have a pc persona so when aj flips goes against everything he tried to show himself. So its not about is it understandable that he had a melt down its about the fact that he's going against his pc persona which is why people hold him to a different standard
It's either all part of the act...or the symptoms of wearing large headphones with large *magnets* *24-7*
You said it all
I know unification takes precedent, but I would rather watch TF vs AJ purely based on the entertainment value, as for my pure boxing side, TF vs usyk, is a battle of 2 masters… both are amazing fights for opposite reasons.
Hatman is absolutely correct with this. AJ is now being labelled narcissistic and so forth despite it being one outburst on the basis where he should be given credit for what he has done within boxing considering where he began compared to others within the division. In my opinion adopting a humble persona despite being admirable and good PR has stabbed him in the back, where others such as Fury and Wilder are unapologetic for how egotistical and outspoken they are compared to AJ. Hatman put it well in context where individuals can react to situations rashly on a smaller scale, and AJ on a much larger scale and as a premier fighter who's revolutionised British boxing should be given the benefit of the doubt from all those years that critique and pressure to perform where he hasn't made rebutles to have his say. Despite it being unsportsman like to take Usyk's moment of glory, AJ is right to be aggrieved of the decision and the entire situation is overblown. This can be a instigator of change within his career though, with new trainers and a new mindset and if he continues to improve his technical competencies and remains active he could well get back to the top. Improvements where evident from the first couple rounds but the mental and physical fatigue got to him, where his defence was more open to clean Usyk shots.
