Franklin is a better opponent than Dillian Shyte. Credit to Joshua if he goes this route.

I like that Franklin can get right back in the ring and make some money. Not like the PBC business model where many guys fight maybe once a year if they're lucky

Frankiln seems like a good dude and i'm glad he's getting payday. But is being a good dude enough to get into big fights?

I'd prefer this fight. Hopefully McKean can go ahead and fight Huni in Australia instead.

He is basically Whyte/Hrgovic/Zhang level opponent, no problem.

Throw Andy Ruiz name into that mix since you are mentioning 2nd tier opponents and if you do that, then yes it is a problem for AJ.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if Franklin beats him, but let’s say AJ wins, why rematch Whyte before fighting Wilder ? If Aj beats Franklin I think he should go into a summer showdown with Wilder. Like the rest of the boxing world I’ve been waiting for years to see these guys fight and would hate to see one of them lose along the way again and then the fight never happens.

Don't mind it, Franklin is not an old bum that's for sure, Franklin is a test for sure, pretty sure Franklin would beat Joseph Parker, I mean there are fights to be made for Franklin now, Franklin vs Otto Wallin should happen atleast.

is anyone actually interested in watching AJ fight Franklin or Whyte or any other C/D level guy? the only AJ fight that interests me is AJ Wilder.
