AJ lacks confidence in himself and his team. He tries to say the right things but it’s hard cause he knows he’s not what he was built up to be -
No i disagree i believe AJ is delusional as a person and as a fighter. He believes the dumb stuff that comes out of his mouth. He is too up inside his head to see the truth. That is why he is fighting this nobody and staying with Eddie H. to be told lies and goosed up the ladder for a while longer. After his behaviour in the ring the last time, Got no respect for the guy. And now this little showboat bout is just more proof of what he is not.Comment

It’s all about minor adjustments, Fury had 3 different trainers for Wilder if you include Freddy Roach who he also had . Joshua understands why he lost the Usyk fight ,why he decided to try another trainer only he knows . One things almost certain,Franklin won’t be questioning anyones trainers after the fight and he’ll become another win statistic on Joshua’s resume . I don’t even think Joshua needs anyone in his corner for this one ,fighting Usyk twice he should be able to end this one whenever he feels like it .Comment

Joshua came within inches the last time out. I do not see what all the hate is about. I tend to think he's 2 or 3 fights away from goodbye, but he's been a lot of fun through and through. If I had my druthers, they'd put him in with Big Baby, who again, is MIA. To me, they have business and belts don't figure into the matter.Comment

How ridiculous some of these posts are ! Every fighter needs a trainer in their corner from Ali to SRL - I just hope it's a case of a new fresh set up for Joshua .Franklin is only in there based on his performance against Whyte who was coming off a one-sided KO and was not at his best.I don't expect Franklin to pose too many problems for Joshua but the doubts I have about Joshua are the questions like he asked when the going was rough against Ruiz 'what's he going to do next ' to RobMcCracken .He is not always a natural thinker but in all fairness to him he was badly buzzed .Corner men are in there for all different reasons , sometimes to let a fighter know that things need to change when a fighter maybe doesn't see it in the heat of the moment .Such as the advise Angelo Dundee gave SRL ...'your blowing son' for the great man to come out and stop Hearns in the very next round of a classic .Joshua is no SRL and needs a good cornerman for sure in all fights .I hope this change suits him as there is nothing more I would like to see than Joshua in major fights and being the force I thought he was and still might be. The comment that Joshua doesn't need a cornerman for this fight is as I say ridiculous .I'm in the gym tonight I'll and I'm sure our well known trainer and pro's and Amateurs alike will be in stitches with that one ....Comment

Garcia would still be employed if he hadn't ran his mouth constantly to the press.Comment

Interesting comments from Franklin. I still think Joshua puts him down fairly early, but he makes some interesting observations.Comment
