    You understand, I understand and in truth he understands but can't allow himself to admit his use of the triangle theory was wrong.

    I'm well aware of how the triangle theory works; you'd be better off directing your post to N17 who thinks that because Lewis and Tyson didn't blast him in a round it means Joshua has no chance.

    There's no logic or reason to his argument. :good

    Show me a quote :huh

    I said Bruno wouldn't be a soft touch, I didn't say Bruno would beat Joshua or Bruno was better, I said you were wrong for saying Joshua would beat Bruno with "ease".

    I did say a prime Bruno would be Joshua's toughest test to date and I believe that's true, I think it's hard to disagree with that.

    You've made yourself look a little bit foolish, you tried to dismiss what I said by saying I was using the triangle theory which I clearly wasn't and you have somehow imagined I said Bruno was better or would beat Joshua which I didn't.

    So maybe you should try again :hi:

    No...maybe he should just shut up. He's a tedious, lonely little troll who is no where near as bright as he thinks he is.

    AJ has shown nothing so far to suggest he could beat a prime Bruno

    To be fair, bruno was old school who had to go down certain paths to get to world title fights.

    He had to go up against some serious heavyweights, jumbo cummings getting rocked badly on the way up, smith witherspoon took his lumps and carried on.

    AJs path is different in this era, it is all laid out for him, could AJ at this point in his career beat say a Jumbo Collins or Scott Le deaux?

    I am not knocking AJ but you have to be realistic, bruno fought much tougher men, and earned his money.

    AJ like many today wont take risks like in the old days, he wont be allowed too, as his career is panned out by people behind desks securing there next six months employment.

    Bruno wins after a tough 2rds but comes good in the 3rd by KO.

    Until AJ is tested properly its hard to tell.

    If AJ has stamina I pick him but that's an unknown factor at the moment.

    Bruno faced some good opposition. He was powerful and aggressive. Also not scared of anyone. He came to win against Tyson and Lewis .

    50/50 due to Aj athleticism

    Nonsense fella.

    50/50

    You are right in one sense, that Bruno came to "Fight" yet the difference is that Bruno did not know if he would win, because he had to fight, and he fought.

    AJ comes to his fights knowing he is going to win, and until somebody puts him in with a serious fighter then it stays the same.

    Bruno knocks this man cold, Even now.

    AJ is an expense not an asset.

    Price probably best keeping quiet about heavyweights getting knocked out. After all he's going to step through the ropes again sometime soon, so...

    This the man who got wobbled by a journeyman in his first fight....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=598&v=9HKf3MxE_58

    9 mins 53 seconds into the clip... lmao


    On to the matter in hand: Bruno would have three to four rounds to knock out AJ after which his stamina issues would come into play. My money would be Bruno stopped on his feet in the middle rounds of a competitive fight.

    In fairness to Price...he got caught clean with a cheap shot and then brutally KO'd him a minute later. Actually probably the best shot Price has taken without crumbling like an accordion.
