Franklin was a great fighter back in the day, but it doesn't seem as if he's done anything to improve himself or up his game. He's hasn't necessarily evolved to keep up with everyone else. (Or, maybe I'm wrong on that?)
Wanderlei via stand up domination.  |
Franklin was just never cut out for LHW. Hes just simply not big enough or strong enough when someone like Forest can lay on him. Franklin is still a great fighter and will prove that hes still in the elite of MWs.
