If AJ loses to Franklin what next?

Franklin's a tidy boxer but he's also a midget.

He was too small to hurt a shot Whyte. He's not beating Joshua.

 

He'd be finished as a top tier attraction, and probably be forced to take domestic fights for the rest of his career unless he can somehow convince the public to believe he's a star again.

It's a very real possibility. Franklin is a tricky guy, and not the sort of opponent you want as a comeback when your game might be off.

 

What next? Mr. Olympia competition.

 

Nothing. Retirement

But I don't see it happening. You don't go from Usyk's second-hardest fight to losing to Franklin. Get real

 

Retire, because I wouldn't want to see him fight again if he lost to a C level fighter like Franklin.
