    Joe would gladly lose a UD to Frank every time out, had they met during their primes.

    If Joe had the cast of 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin' in his corner it may well have motivated him to give Frank two black eyes.

    Mason was very slow and lumbering and looked poor v a green Lewis.

    AJ is more proven than Bruno, Wlad and Parker and Ruiz were better than Frank, Ruiz had a better chin than Frank and is a better combo puncher than Frank was.

    I disagree. Vlad was old. Parker is nothing special .Ruiz is better combination puncher but has no where near the punch power of Bruno but still managed to ko AJ . If Frank hits him hard it good night !

    Pre Zhang Joyce? Bruno mostly lost to elites, but Bonecrusher also stopped him.

    I can see Frank really knocking AJ silly with those right hands of his.
    AJ has never impressed me that much.

    Bruno was hurt several times, do you really think he could have taken AJ`s power?

    AJ`s right hands are faster and more explosive than Frank`s, who Bruno stop that was the level of AJ?

    Of course. Frank was susceptible to a fighter going all out late on to clinch the win after eating ramrod jabs for much of the night...that man isn't Joe Bugner.
