    He came off of losing to an ATG twice in a row, and then went with the terrible decision of choosing to fight a tubby spoiler with excellent head movement and a great chin. Eddie Hearn isn't the best matchmaker, that's pretty obvious by now. So of course not.

    On that performance tonight they'd be justified thinking he is.

    No he should not. He is still marketable and plenty of money out there for him. Wilder got his **** pushed in twice in an row and he hasn’t retired. Let AJ try to make the big fight and if he gets ko’d then retire but with an extra 30m in the bank.

    No, AJ kept trapping Franklyn`s arm and grabbing him in a head lock.

    34 in six months. Should be prime years for an elite hw but he looks fragile mentally to me.

    Fury 34 and only wants to fight Chisora.

    Wilder 37 and looked awful in most of his career fights.

    Joyce 37 and looks good, but 37.

    Ruiz 33 and is a tub of goo.

    Hrgovic and Dubois young but they suck in totality.

    What is the point, here?
