White-Franklin was a good scrap. I thought it was closer than 116-11/, but think the nod to White was reasonable. I don’t want to be a dick, but I have very little interest in Joshua-White. Joshua-Wilder is the interesting and obvious fight from the fans point of view. Wonder if we’ll get it?
Whyte wants his rematch with Joshua and it's a good comeback fight for Joshua after his losses to Usyk. I think Joshua would win again.
Deontay Wilder burned his bridges with Hearn, he was offered a fight with Joshua before he fought Fury for the first time, he was offered more money by Hearn than what he was going to get for Fury, Wilder denied this but later admitted everything in a tweet to Fury when Fury was trying to get out of their 3rd fight.
Wilder also turned down a $100M offer from John Skipper, ex-head of DAZN, for a couple of fights, one was guaranteed to be against Joshua.
The suits at DAZN & Matchroom are not gonna do Wilder any favours after he's lied repeatedly and helped Haymon, Espinoza, Finkel & Deas to present Hearn & Joshua as liars and cowards to the gormless. Besides - Wilder has Andy Ruiz to deal with and the winner is Fury's mandatory.
I think Whyte is a good comeback fright for AJ. Just not one I’m excited to see. Probably better than DW’s annihilation of the opponent he fought though.
The problem with the Heavyweight division is that all roads lead to Fury, I can’t imagine there will be a 4th fight with Wilder, and there’s no moving out of that division for Wilder.
Wilder-AJ. Wilder -Usyk. Fury-AJ. Fury-Usyk. Are the fights that are interesting for me at the moment. The second tier guys? Meh.
Not at all discounting the real world political/business situation you describe. Just what I would think the fans would want to see.
I agree they're the fights everyone wants, me included of course. I'm just a cynical old git these days and always expect them not to happen for some reason.
You have been quiet lately, Ozzy! What's up? Where is your man? Whatever happened to
17 Dec?
Here you go again: singing from the same sheet, despite the vids I sent you. DW spent lots of $ to get a third beating; but, he was scared of Anthony Duckworth Joshua! There is a reason why objectivity is crucial in any valid assessment of anything.
This reminds me of Oscar v Felix Sturm, a fight that was intended to be an apetiser for BHop v Oscar. Sturm deserved at least a re-match but that wasn't part of the script. Franklyn was supposed to make Dillion Whyte look good to justify an AJ rematch. Eddie Hearn even promised the winner a multi-million dollar match against AJ. As with Sturm there will be no rematch. However we do get contracts that offer rematches like AJ v Andy Ruiz, Usyk and Whyte v Povletikin when there was no question about who the winner was. The alphabets are happy to support these arrangements and so it goes on. Franklyn has reinstated himself and enhanced his status, I am afraid he may have to be happy with that.

DW would end AJ's brand. There is a reason why AJ had ducked DW for all these years.
With any other biffer, DW would have won the third match with Fury. There is no way AJ can handle DW's power.
If that fight was in the states Franklin would of won he won the early rounds and hung on late

Franklin was robbed I had him 3 pts ahead and I am Australian no bias
