AJ does bring boxing to the mainstream and is a high profile star that brings money into the game.
That's the rebuild he needs. Self-awareness and mental make up..it's essential to keep on point at the highest level. He can go crush a couple of cans but at his stage it may be superficial as far as suring up actual confidence. I think more importantly he needs to hash out whatever was festering in him and that speaks to the 101 yes men filling his ears with false confidence and praise, to his camp and letting himself isolate with AJ the man for just a little bit. This sport is so much more mentality and focus and those remain issues for AJ, now apparently more than ever.
Psychiatrically, this is so true. Emotional problems sometimes run much deeper than mere Yes Men issues. In those cases, it is almost impossible to get on track, but I guess Fury with his problems managed to get back on track so maybe AJ can do it too.
No keyboard whitecoat here

but it's clear there's a ton of luggage to unpack. And if you're frankly gearing up for one more career run in your 30's...get it all out and in the clear. Make himself whole and in tip top form with the mind set. Then go work on your pecs and bending the knees. May all be moot though as ol Eddie is going remind him of his signature every morning. Fighters still have a future after the leather stops flying and the yes men fade away.
100% agree, it is a TON of luggage. Yes, why does he not bend his knees FFS? He fights like a robot FFS. GET RID OF the Yes Men, totally, get your shit together, going on 33 years old and need to string together some impressive wins, don't even need to be knockouts, just win big a few times now, try to get back the confidence. Then a title shot. Even before that, rest and meditate a while, see what is wrong. See if you have that fire necessary. Killer instinct. Agreed he has one more career run. Throw combinations like Marciano FFS, to use AJ's own words.
