    God forbid I cut out the donuts, and get in Franklin's condition. I hope the bodybuilder Joshua doesn't lose to this saggy state. lol

    It would be great to see the hypocrite Joshua lose it would be a great boxing story about the downfall of one of the worst champions ever...

    Franklin knows he has no future in the sport among more serious contenders. And he knows he is no match for AJ. He is there just to receive his paycheck. On the side, he may be hoping he becomes another regular employee of Hearn's journeymen staff, those which Hearn feeds his paper champions.

    AJ looks very beatable at this stage but Franklin just isn't capable. The boxing skill and power are just not there, his chin looks very breakable too. AJ KO 4.

    I’ve got a feeling Franklin is getting blown out pretty early. He really isn’t very good.

    Franklin's one of those tricky types that make you look bad if you're off your game. If he had a bit more pop he'd be a very live pick. Even without pop anything can happen in later rounds against a gassed opponent.

    If Joshua takes him out early I'd actually be very impressed. Joshua's mental state is a major question mark at this stage.

    Just hope it’s a competitive fight, it would be good if Joshua wins.

    I don´t think he "knows" that he is no match. After all, he is adamant that he beat Whyte. Franklin is full of confidence and here to win, but he is being brought in as a tuneup. AJ´s team know what they are doing.

    Franklin is a bum.

    Whytes coach was literally stupidly telling him not to go for the KO. Whyte could have KOd him if he had a better coach.

    AJ should get the KO early enough. Be surprised if he doesn't.

    Well, that's an interesting & surprising view... and TBH not clear from your post.

    So do you really think they'll keep AJ away from Fury, Wilder, Joyce, and any other probable dangerous HWs out there? These are the fights the fans want. Also very lucrative fights. How long can they keep AJ away from dangerous opponents? Long enough to rebuild his brand? Serious and even casual boxing fans will see through AJ fed a steady diet of Franklin's.
    Moreover, most of these established HWs are early to late 30s. They don't have too many years left to start having some of these fights signed & delivered.

    Look forward to your reply and angle on this. The way the fight goes might change your answer ;)
