Franklin is still better than he gets credit for. His only losses in his last 5 fights have come by razor thin decision to Dan Henderson(who looks like he hits harder than Chuck at this point), and Vitor Belfort who is still a force to be reckoned with standing. Alot of the stigma around Franklin at this point I think is all the catchweight stuff which isn't really his fault. Though he doesn't really have a "place" in either the 185 or 205lb division as of right now, but he should have no problem staying on the outside with Chuck. His pace is better than Chucks and his body kicks are going to be a factor I think.
