    I can't believe some of the AJ fans are saying that this performance was to lure Fury and Wilder :eek:

    There is no way you thought Franklin won that fight

    Yeah, love how Eddie slipped in Whyte's name between Fury and Wilder as one of the fights we apparently want to see. Whether you had him winning or losing the Franklin fight, Whyte's clearly around Franklin level!

    Fury KO's AJ early imo.

    Damn they're trying to put Whytes name in the conversation for AJ's next fight. I only want either Wilder Joyce or Fury.

    Be disgusting if it's AJ fights Belly next. Usyk and Belly had to win their semi-finals twice, both of which in conclusive fashion on away/foreign soil, and then after all that time waiting for the two finalists to duke it out in the final with each other Belly then shamelessly ducks the final to face one of the semi-finalists who got his ass whooped twice by Usyk.

    And even worse the corrupt WBC and WBA have rigged their rankings in order to try abd secure the other semi-finalist with a shot at Usyk when he's 1-2 in his last 3 fights, both loses via brutal KO or stoppage in his own backyard, the lone win over a glass-jawed senior citizen former sparring partner who was knocked out by two of the D levels The Dosser fought and who has only beaten one half decent fighter in over a decade :facepalm:

    Joshua is what he is. A good fighter. Not an elite one. I don’t know why we need sweeping narratives for everything. He’s probably gonna beat 95% of heavyweights.

    If Franklin ko’d him, Wilder and Fury would still duck.

    Not really. He just attacked the one spot Usyk is vulnerable, the body. Still saw some of the same strategic errors from AJ in that fight. Same predictable combos, and going all-in the second he thinks he has his opponent hurt. The second is how Ruiz put him down.

    There has been no improvements with Joshua since he left Mcracken and he’s also fighting more scared than ever. I said it a while back on here but Hearn will cash Joshua in looking to make fights with Wilder and Fury,fights Hearn would not even think about back when they really mattered .

    Very likely. But only because the right hand was a nuclear bomb. Left hook too. But he wasn't exactly putting on an offensive show.
