skill wise is he close to Usyk? in the sense Usyk doesn't have a physical x factor as well and relies on skill?
Usyk has exceptional movement. Literally footwork better than top middleweights. Franklin does not have that.
Overrated, fat dude, strictly because he nicked 4 rounds off of a badly shopworn Whyte.... Should be as designed to make Joshua look good and build back his confidence
He seems like a skilled club fighter he can beat the average heavyweight maybe if he got into better shape he would be better. He is tough has a good chin. Also if he had more power he would be more dangerous.
Well i guess he is a better challenge than Sefer Seferi, but other than that he will likely earn a reasonable purse, have his 5 minutes in the spotlight, and duly lose to Joshua as expected.
at least watch these two videos doesn't Franklin's movement seem similar to Usyk's? This content is protected This content is protected
The answer is he's dangerous. This is the heavyweight division and everyone can punch HARD. All it takes is one. He's young, in form, confident, believes in himself and has proven he isn't scared of the big stage. Other HWs are avoiding him for a reason. Joshua is prepared to take that challenge though, and also give this kid a shot at the big time. Can't wait for this fight. Wembley, Big Joshie, quality crowd, England, what more could you ask for?
