    It is definitely an easier fight than Takam was.

    AJ is gonna tear his head off. That said, I agree that the whole energy of AJ and his team is strange. Fights like Franklin should just be routine ko wins for AJ and they’re make it seem like life depends on it, not a good look.

    Perhaps AJ ought to copy Alis quote: "If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize."

    No, AJ will win. There is too much of a difference in the talent level of the two fighters.

    Franklin, though a decent defensive fighter, is not aggressive enough to score an upset like Andy Ruiz did.

    AJ's already beaten much better than Franklin.

    AJ KO 4.

    Franklin seems like one of those 21st century American heavyweights who boxes because he can’t play football, basketball, baseball, or work the doors of nightclubs very well

    I agree. I watched the weigh in, he looks like he didn't even train at all, he is in terrible shape.

    If America put all their physical talent into boxing you'd be a force in HW boxing as you should be. Fury & Joyce would still spank them all but atleast you'd have more than just Wilder.

    This might be the first time AJ and interesting were used in the same sentence in a positive manner. The guy is straight up cardboard.

    AJ will beat Franklin because hes better and Franklin just isnt in his league. I expect AJ to go back to his true form and get a highlight reel KO.

    He draws interest because he is huge, well-mannered and very well built. He is from UK and speaks English. He was a role model for a champion, who people could look up to. But his mask slipped after Usyk rematch.

    On the other hand, Fury looks repulsive, with a fat belly, unproportional body and bad attitude. He uses cussy words a lot, he is unlikable.
    Usyk is small and doesn't look like a heavyweight, and he doesn't speak English.
    Wilder used to be similar to AJ, but he also has bad attitude.

    Look at top 10 heavyweights, none of them has the superstar aura as AJ.
