    Franklin would be a legit contender for the world title

    He only lost to Whyte and that loss is a strange one.

    I don`t see Franklin being any worse than Chisora that Fury just fought. Or than Breazeale, Molina, Arreola, Szpilka, Duhaupas, Stiverne, Washington ...that all got their shots not so long ago.

    Actually, I would favor Franklin over all these guys.

    So, Joshua picked a good opponent for stay busy fight.

    GTFOH man. Franklin couldn’t win a British title. I’d put Fabio Wardley in with Franklin tomorrow.

      Yeah, keep on defending Wilder`s ****ty resume.

              Can’t deny what exactly?

              Even the very worst Wilder opponents like Molina and Szpilka were at least ranked.

              Franklin isn’t ranked top 15 ANYWHERE!

              Yet you’re calling him a legit contender, STFU you clown.

                Franklin is in better form than the version of Chisora Fury has just fought 'Chisora was miles out of condition'.

                Parker & Usyk fought Chisora for me when he was still a World level fighter.

                It is quite concerning that Fury, was unable to deck or legitimately stop Chisora 'Without the referee intervening, I believe Chisora would of went the full 12 rounds'.

                Fury's last two performances have not been that impressive. Fury was doing nothing vs Whyte until the knock-out 'And he did not fight Chisora head on, even after proclaiming those were the tactics he would apply'.

                Franklin on his current form, outside of the top-3 Heavyweights? Most would struggle to stop him, or not drop a single round to him.

                If Joshua beats Franklin via stoppage without dropping a round 'You would have to rate that as a solid performance, a more highly rated performance than Fury's last win over Chisora'.

                Not because he is overall a better fighter than Chisora 'But on current form he is the more dangerous fighter'.

                  Not for nothin', but Derrick Chisora got a stay active shot at Fury because he was coming off the best win of his career. Likewise viking Helenius got a chance against Wilder because he was coming off the two best wins of his career. Both are long serving fringe contenders who deserved a payday. Frankin and Zhang arguably won their recent step up fights, against Whyte and Hrgovic, respectively, and both are receiving now an opportunity to break into the stacked top 10. These are all good things.

                    Pulev is not Chisora best win 'Takam is his best win in my opinion'.

                    Takam was in better form than Pulev, and had fought gallantly vs Joshua one fight prior.

                    Pulev is one of Chisora's best wins, although he was kind of semi-retired by the time he fought Chisora.

                    Which is why I don't rate that win, higher the Takam performance.
