Comments Thread For: Jermaine Franklin Emerges as Serious Candidate for Anthony Joshua's Next Fight: Report

[MulaKO]

He's avoided it for years and you are right it's not any where near the fight it was , with each being KO'd since but as frustrated as I am with Hearn/Joshua if they were to take it after a 'warm up' I would be in the Englishman's corner...I just know they won't!

Sorry but no interest what so ever
Not for Joshua or Deontay
The jig is up for both of them

[SN!PER]

At this point I'm mainly looking at the new guys coming up... Big Baby Anderson.... the new guy Moses Itauma who wants to break Iron Mike's record.... yeah they've got work to do, but at least they're exciting to watch. They're on a mission and have a lot of hunger for the sport. That makes good fights.

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.

I don't disagree but both are promoted by Salita. I don't think he has the pockets for that fight and I imagine he wants to try and get both of his heavyweights against bigger names (for bigger purses).

The Demsey fight was better . Franklin brings no danger to AJ at all . Still got the feeling this fight gets skipped over and the Wallin fight happens and that’s the official one .

Neither is supposed to , as Hearn has said ..he needs a confidence booster....after one ,if not the best performance of his career!

I didn't rate Franklin high because he had some really lackluster performances leading up to the Whyte fight. He did much better than I anticipated but I'm not sure how much of that was him and how much of it was Whyte.

Franklin or Wallin would both be decent fights coming off 2 losses. Nobody fights killers every time out and nobody ever has.

Demsey can punch and is a big athletic guy who can move . Franklin is a much shorter slow footed guy with average power . One fight is obviously a better fight at least in anticipation because we know Franklin looked better bc Whyte was instructed to win rounds not go for the knockout .

At least Franklin as fought a name we know and done well but it really doesn't matter , it's if he wants to up the ante next or not that matters.

Franklin beats Joshua. Franklin was robbed vs Whyte and I don't doubt he will beat Joshua who has been nothing more than a hype job.

What a prediction...
Hope you didn't bet any $$$ on that crazzzzzzzy Prediction
Lololololol
