    I said way before this fight was even made that Joshua is done. He's fried. Finished. An accident waiting to happen.

    The only worse scorers are the ones who scored the fight for Canelo, even though he wasn't involved

    I've seen a few Franklin fights. He's a certified non-puncher and he's tricky but it's not like AJ is some prespect stepping up.

    I just can't let AJ off the hook for this, this was really a chance for him to reestablish some momentum.

    Better than losing the fight I guess.

    aj can't even knock out a factory worker he isn't a top fighter, never was

    Wladimir Klitschko having sleepless nights that he couldn't finish this clown

    Even aj's own promoter could beat him now

    Does AJ get belted again or is it pretty much over. He's slipping in the ratings and would have to go through Fury, also has to deal with some dangerous contenders. He should go for something more on his level, like the prestigious British HW belt.

    Glad I didn't get up early to watch that live.

    I'm happy for Joshua to continue, I really don't mind him and thought he actually looked pretty decent against Usyk. Just wasn't good enough in those fights.

    But not if he is going to fight like that. No confidence in his chin or gastank anymore. Looking more robotic than ever with a diminishing ability to pull the trigger.

    Credit to Franklin he is a hell of a lot tougher than I thought he was heading Whyte bout. Pretty crafty but he didn't really need to be to make the rounds tonight.
    Joshua was mediocre.

    No, he was 'the man' in 2018.

    For all of 2018 he was ranked 1 by Ring and by the Transnational Boxing ranking organization.

    AJ KOed Wlad, a much better version than what Fury fought. Fury ran from a rematch with Wlad.

    Aj got dropped, was gassed out his ass for half the fight, fought an older inactive Klitschko, and was behind on points to most before the KO. Even then the fight was arguably stopped early, Wheras Fury outboxed a younger unifier champion version of Klitschko in a boring but nonetheless clear fashion and he didn't struggle much.

    Stop with your revisionist history. aj is trash and if he ever attempts to step in the ring with Fury or Wilder he's getting demolished

    Wilder is trash, but someone needs to put out the trash.

    I’d LOVE to see Usyk make Wilder look even dumber than he already is for a few rounds. Then KO him after wearing him out. Similar to the Bellew KO.

    Keep lying. It is all you seem to be able to achieve.
    There's so much incorrect with this post, but you are too bias to try to discuss on a reasonable level. I suggest you speak with someone who knows something about boxing, that is not yourself, about the careers of Fury and AJ.

    You can keep denying it all you want, but you can't stop destiny

    aj will lose again. He will lose in humiliating fashion, and he will be remembered as a failure on a highlight reel KO compilation

    If we get to see that happen, I wonder what the Wilder and Fury fans will say? There is almost nowhere to go, even for that lot.

    Akin to when the church first admitted that the earth revolves around the sun, but only when the evidence was irrefutable, blatantly obvious was not sufficient.
