    AJ would be too fast and explosive for Frank, plus he`s taller.

    I think Haye could have stopped him, he had better head movement and quicker hands.

    I've always thought Hayes speed could prove problematic for Frank.

    He had the skill, if he had the will to win, then it's a possibility.

    He would be my selection too. As well as being prime,Joe would have to be in an "up for it" mood.

    To be fair, Daniel Dubois should probably be favorite over him now.
