    Frank Bruno was a warrior who came to bang whereas Joshua is on the softer side. Bruno would take Joshua out inside of 5.

    Joshua was the better fighter. Bruno always fell short, and would have against Joshua

    I love Big Frank so much that I can never vote for him losing. He takes out AJ by the mid rounds.

    AJ and it’s not even a comparison. Bruno was slower, chinnier, had a worse gas tank, worse resume, and only got one belt. Anyone who picks Frank is just hating on AJ.

    Joshua is the 2.0 model. Some people prefer retro gadgets mind you.

    For some reason, I just can't see Bruno losing to Andy Ruiz.

    It's no given that AJ beats Bruno. Frank was a tough as nails and had the style to cause AJ huge issues. Personally I see AJ edging it, but it's a closer fight than many may predict.

    He was also winning the fight against Lennox until he got caught by that huge punch.

    He was knocked by tubby Tim at Wembley so I would give Ruiz in the Garden more than evens.
