    Well going by last night s fight_he knock s out Welch
    Ko's hide
    Out points haye but gets rocked several times, drops haye several times.

    Bruno hurts aj early on, maybe drops him. Aj comes back to ko Bruno in 7.

    The one fight that I see him possibly losing, if bugner comes in with a solid frame of mind. He could pull off a upset. He had a respectable chin, fantastic counterpunch and the size to compete in the modern era. It has to be a positive minded bugner to do this, not one content to go the distance. He basically had the tools to beat aj, if he comes in to win.

    Only Bruno and Bugner on this list have any sort of chance, albeit an outside one, of getting near to upsetting AJ. Bruno has the strength and power to give AJ something to think about and back him up. Bugner has the ring savvy, jab, and general boxing skills to frustrate AJ.

    I think you underestimate Bruno considering he knocked out Bugner and "Bugi" was featherfisted.
    Brunos' chin was better than the 41 years old wk's and AJ couldn't finish w.klitschko before the 11. round.

    As lufcrazy would say...

    Cant comment, never seen AJ fight.


    ...Though i am guessing that may change based on reports of his last fight.

    Bugner - AJ by mid-late stoppage
    Bruno - AJ 7th rd KO
    Hide - AJ when he lands his 1st power punch (most likely round 2-4)
    Haye - AJ on points in a dull fight when Haye running all night and taking zero risks.
    Welch - AJ in 3
