    "in 15 years no one will remember this fight" I don't think thats a positive thing at all lol, shouldn't it be his aim to have memorable fights?!

    James’ corner advice was pretty awful. I was surprised cause he’s usually a good trainer.

    Joshua’s power has always been so over rated .

    No one cares about DIllian Whyte over here. Nobody.

    “No one is gonna remember this fight in 15 years.” So much for him having respect for everyone who gets in the ring.

    Fury just got a stiffie watching this, he can get a big money lumbering oaf instead of Usyk running circles around him. Make this fight Hernzz.

    "we've had dialect before" - spoken by a well-educated private school boy.

    Let's see him against a guy with slightly more porous defense before writing him off completely. But yeah, Usyk's back to back emasculations, might be hard for him to mentally bounce back from.

    I missed the fight, I see a lot of complaining about AJ and how washed up he is but then I saw that all of you had it wither 119-109 or 118-110.

    Franklin took Whyte the distance and arguably should have won and that was Franklin in a much worse shape. AJ dismantled him with ease it looks like based on your scores... So Im not getting why hes getting so much hate.

    Fury almost lost to Wallin and hes around Franklins level

    No he has very good power and he hit Franklin with a LOT of very clean shots. The man has an elite chin.

    The saudi's must have told him he is a stinker and they won't pay him for another, then showed him a picture of Wilder fury.

    Definitely AJ isn't sure, still scared when takes some shots to the head. He's slower and stiffer, has a lot to rework, but still has a good chance to comeback in the game. Somewhere around the fifth round, he learned the tricks of Franklin and adapted, so the rest of the fight went easier. But for the first four, Franklin was almost troubling him, the guy is fast, not afraid to exchange and has some tough chin.

    He back handed Franklin after the bell.
