AJ should have really taken that Fury fight. This material match up has no hype.

Given that Joshua is coming off 2 straight losses, this seems like a decent enough fight.

I don't love it, but it's ok for a comeback fight. This will sell out the O2.

Joshua is just so tentative now. He has the demeanor of a man defusing a bomb

It wasn't impressive, but it was a good solid technically sound effort. Franklin is not a bad fighter.

Joshua is trying to implement a new trainer's mentality. He has still not recovered psycologically from having his brain scrambled by Ruiz. James is trying to remake him the way Stewart did Wlad and Lennox Lewis.

I think they should stick to Hearn's plan and face Whyte next in a quick turnaround fight.

Fighting Wilder would be even better
