    As IT stands now..... Jermaine Franklin is the best HW in the US boxing right now.

    Hunter inactive.... Franklin would play with Wilder and UD him..... And Anderson would get schooled. Easy day in the Office for great Franklin.

    Fury resume is really bad. Old out of prime Klitschko, Klitschko from AJ fight would destroy Fury.

    Crazy how Saudi showed the truth behind sharlatans.

    I think Franklin outpoint Ngannou easily, would make him look like a big stiff idiot.

    Might actually be true that he's slightly better than Wilder now h2h, but unless Wilder is totally shot I still favor him in that one.

    Good crossroads opponent, 50/50 against Wilder for me.

    Stop it. Franklin isn't that good and has zero power. Also hasn't beaten anybody.

    His best win is a split decision against Jerry Forrest (who beat Franklin up and should've got the decision). Couldn't finish Pavel Sour who has one of the worst chins of all time.

    Jared Anderson would beat the **** out of him, as would many other heavyweights. Wilder knocks him out.

    This would be a good fight for both guys but it will never happen cause Wilder is only looking for big fights.

    Sorry in what world does the 41 year old inactive Klitschko from the AJ fight destroy Fury? I’ve seen some bad takes about Klitschko, this is certainly one of them.

    Di
    Did you really compare De Mori to HW in Prime like Franklin?

    I mean, you can humiliate my statement as much as you want, but use at least not washed up boxers almost 45 years old for christ. Like what the fu*k?

    Who has Franklin beaten that would even suggest for a second that he'd beat Wilder? Wilder still sparks 90% of the division.

    He would go agressive after Fury and drown him down. Fury was not capable to Hurt old Klitschko. Klitschko with a good plan destroys Fury even in 41 years old. I don't believe in any depressions until I see Medicals. Only the real thing was Fury doping and cocain, that was Real.

    All AJ's fights shows this. Specially the last one against Wallin. Fury beated nobody. His the biggest win in Hamburg is a coincidence.

    Franklin's 12 rounds lossess against AJ and Whyte are better than any Wilder's win in his career.

    Franklin would make Wilder look like.... Person who started box Yesterday. And even more humiliating would be that Franklin is not a power puncher.

    Fury won because he was slippery, elusive, and all wrong for Wlad. That’s why he was gunshy, he simply could not land on Fury. If you think a 41 year old version of Wlad would smoke Fury, I have no idea what to say.

    Styles make fights, Joshua went life and death with an inactive Wlad, Fury comfortably won on points against a younger, more active version. I know which one I would prefer.

    Objectively wrong, Wilder’s wins over Ortiz are far better than anything Franklin has done. Least I remind you a 283 pound Ruiz went 12 with Joshua while Helenius and Wach both took Whyte the distance.

    I'd argue he beat Dillian Whyte, who's probably on par with Wilder's best win in Ortiz.
