    FRANKANDBEANS went 24 rounds with two shot to pieces gunshy domestic level bums.

    OTTOMAN gave prime undefeated ATG Fury hellfire for twelve rounds and busted his face right open for him for good measure.

    Wallin eats FRANKFURTER for breakfast lunch and dinner.

    Wallin is still afraid to call daddy Sokołowski to give him his soul back.

    I think Franklin tbh. He survived in the ring with AJ and Whyte, he can survive against Wallin.

    I think Franklin beat Whyte and boxed well at times vs AJ.

    Wallin is not impressive.

    Some people must think that making exaggerated claims or expressions strengthens their point of view. Instead it makes them look loony or just plain stupid.

    How anyone can call clear underdog Wallin's effort vs. Fury as "pathetic" is, well pathetic ! Maybe he ran out of his meds?

    Yet you'll defend Quitali for ducking a Byrd rematch, Wlad's an ATG while ducking Puritty, Sanders and a Joshua rematch, Povetkin's an ATG while ducking Wlad for 5 years, Ortiz etc.

    Wallin won a sparring session with Sokolowski on a week's notice, which was considerably less controversial than Franklin's win over Forrest (which is Franklin's best win on paper by some distance). Wallin's best wins (9-3 decisions over Breazeale and Granat) are much better than any of Franklin's and Wallin's sole losing performance (3-9 against Fury but a tough fight) is far more impressive than the 12 round sparring session Franklin lost vs Joshua and Franklin's 50-50 vs Whyte, who wasn't able to lay a glove on Fury's face over 6 rounds.

    It's also notable that Whyte was willing to fight Franklin but unwilling to fight Wallin, who Whyte's husband Dean said was a bad matchup for Dillian.

    Would be a decent match but one I suspect will never materialize.

    A real pity they don't have Whyte as a common opponent but Whyte was having nothing to do with Wallin.

    Agreed it's a fair match up on paper but Wallin would start favorite

    50/50 fight, Wallin hasn't impressed me in recent fights and if that version of him fights Franklin he would lose.
