    This has to be the worst undercard in recent memory.

    Franklin is a feather fisted little pudding no? Last time Joshua faced one of these he ran scared in an illegally sized saudi ring. The time before that he got bounced around the ring by one on his US debut and QUIT like a dog.

    Which scenario is most likely here? @mitchroom76

    AJ similar to his Takam weight..

    I see him getting Franklin out of there early

    I actually remember him looking quite bloated when he weighed in against Takam. He looked leaner here I felt, despite being slightly heavier.

    Ruiz isn't feather fisted though which is the difference.

    I think Franklin and Ruiz are similar in terms of style and ability but Franklin couldn't even make a dent in Whyte.

    I think he hits hard. Dropped Ortiz 4 times. Dropped Joshua 4 times.

    He's not got Elite power but he'd have KO'd Whyte if he fought him in place of Franklin imo.

    It doesn't take much to drop Ortiz, who's well into his 40's, does it? He couldn't put him away when he was clearly there for the taking

    Joshua was wrecked by that temple shot and didn't take much for him to go down after that.

    Ruiz failed to drop a lot of guys like Liakhovich, Zumbano, Godrey, Lawrence who he hit loads of times. I think Whyte would beat Ruiz. He's just so much better

    3 or 4 years ago Whyte V Ruiz is a close fight. If it happened now Ruiz destroys him imo.

    We'll never find out though sadly because none of these heavies ever want to fight each other.
