Comments Thread For: Jermaine Franklin Excited About Possibility of Anthony Joshua Showdown

[JakeTheBoxer]

AJ`s confidence is pretty low, so he will probably fight Franklin or Whyte next or that Australian guy.

TheFace07 is a realist, if u ask me u think Whyte didn't win that fight with Franklin! AJ taking an immediate rematch is a lot of heart again HW FMJr.....a lot of casyals dont respect that and he did well but good southpaw are always gonna be a nightmare for except u are VERY SPECIAL!! Picking up his pieces while he adapt to new trainer isn't a bad deal and AJ AIN'T OLD. So what's badona tune up fight??

I mean Lucas Browne did get that upset win vs Jnr Fa...

Franklin's promoter, Salita, basically just said my fighter isn't shxt compared to Wallin, so Hearn should choose us for AJ. I'm not mad, get your bread however you can, but damn....

Salita promotes both Wallin and Franklin. He's been begging for Otto to get the shot with AJ but that's not happening. Surprised he said that Otto is a tougher opponent for AJ than Franklin (even if it's true). If I was Franklin, I'm not sure I'd appreciate my promoter saying that.

Franklin not crazy, he about to go from a Pinto to a Toyota Camry XLE!

"Jermaine is excited about the opportunity to once again show the British boxing fans that he is the best American heavyweight in the world."-Salita

I know promoters gotta be promoting, but he can't believe a word of that. I think Franklin is an okay get-back for AJ, who should be able to take him out. Whyte barely got that W and he may not even have deserved that. But let's be clear, Franklin ain't no boogeyman. He'd get demolished by Wilder, Jared Anderson, Ruiz, even Jarrell Miller, among others.

Wallin ain't gonna get the shot. Whyte was supposed to fight him too, but pulled out. Seems like he always gets the short end of the stick.

He doesn’t get big fights because him and Salita don’t shut the f**k up. They’re always in media outlets saying how good he is and everyone is ducking Wallin but in reality, his opponents have been crap since Fury.

Same as Martin Bakole, doesn’t seem to get big fights because his trainer seems to do all his talking for him constantly. They should fight each other - Bakole and Wallin

I think AJ needs to take things slow. He should fight Pulev 1 or 2 times first, then Chisora and Povetkin again before he steps up to Jermaine Franklin. He needs to be smart about this.

Why are talking as if AJ was destroyed twice like Wilder? This is just a petty bashing. At least AJ is not going to fight his sparring partner and thereafter start making noise like Wilder. Show some respect!
