    Joshua looks and fights like Bruno. Is he a carbon copy?

    No, Joshua is one of the best prospects, if not THE best out there. He seems to have the complete package. And he's already smarter and ballsier than Bruno. Bruno was a mental midget.

    No thing Bruno lacked in spades was stamina

    If Joshua doesn't have stamina than he is another Bruno , if he has it than he could be incredible

    He should be glad if he's anything like Frank Bruno.

    Too early to tell. There seem to be some similarities but there could be some very big, key differences.

    In this Era its a good thing to be compared to Bruno.

    If there was no Tyson & Lewis in his Era his title reigns would have lasted much longer.

    Bruno vs Wlad 50/50 fight for me.

    No he wouldn't ,anyone who had decent stamina had a great chance of beating him

    I think he would be very fortunate if he indeed is the next Bruno, and so will the British public.
    I don't think he makes it that far though.

    Joshua doesn't look built like a boxer...for his age he is even bigger and more built than the Klitscko's...although he is genetically gifted with that build it's not necessarily desirable for a boxer...He better have some decent power with that footwork, stamina and speed deficit that currently exists in his game...

    He's no Frank Bruno yet...

    It's too early to say. But he looks too big and muscular with thin legs. He just don't look like a boxer.

    However time will tell.

    Joshua isn't slow , and his stamina has never been tested so we have no idea if his lacking in that although I suspect he does

    I don't know why people are talking about Bruno like he was some kind of god, he was lucky as hell to win a world title and was just a contender

    Bruno had an underrated jab. Bruno was out-boxing Lewis until Lewis court him with that left hook.

    Looking at someones physique is not a great way to judge their stamina.
