Comments Thread For: Landing Joshua Gives Jermaine Franklin Another Chance to 'Shock the World'

[thack]

It would be good to see Joshua get some of that pre- Ruiz confidence back as his best chance with the big boys is his power but all this 'work in progress' bollocks has got to stop , he fought well Usyk 2 that should have given him some confidence , instead it seems to have worked the opposite way.

I'm saying this is a give me , after his head went so publicly and his confidence is wafter thin then I suppose he's got to start somewhere BUT then I would expect him to move it up a notch and not fight a guy he's already flattened and has been flattened twice since ....Gasp!

You seem to be talking about a different fight than Jermaine Franklin. I don't have your power to see the future and can only discuss the fight they've announced.

This fight is an opponent they have picked because they expect to win. Which is expected after back-to-back losses.

Good for Franklin getting the Whyte & Joshua fights. Too bad Salita can’t do the same for Wallin. Franklin can now take on the role of HW gatekeeper like Hammer, Wach, Forrest & Rice. Those roles are important. Monte Barrett, Obed Sullivan, Lou Savarese, David Izon, Kevin Johnson all never reached the top but they made a decent living & were able to travel around the world. Franklin should be able to get more fights now.

Wallin looks much more dangerous. Franklin already looks like future Chisora. A solid guy, but not like a real threat.

I get a that but isn’t the plan then to rematch Whyte?
you don’t need the power to see the future, just read what his promoter has planned for the future

I wouldn't be too surprised, but I don't know and I'm not going to waste time discussing it as though I do know. If it turns out that way, you'll have reason to criticise the choice. I think you're ahead of the gun right now though.

[Boxviewer]

It makes me laugh when morons like yourself call it 'bashing' it's facts I've put forward...Joshua turned down the contests I've mentioned , it's not bashing it's just facts and with all Joshua's money you'd think he'd have a pair of 'shoes' to tie , be more useful with your life.

I don't have your time, time waster.

I think Franklin could hold his own against Joshua. Unfortunately I don't see him doing much more than holding it.

On a side note, Where the hell is Andrey Fedosov??? He could be a great player in the division but he dropped off the planet in 2018. Then he came back to end the career of soon to be a star prospect Majidov by spectacular first round KO. then dropped off the face of the earth one more time. I thought very highly of this dudes chances of getting a belt.

I want to see him in there with Usyk.

That's the plan my friend but then again we know all too well , one punch can change that.

Don't be bitter my friend, stick to the facts and enjoy.
