    How yoked were those dudes that were ranked? 40 times? Bench?

    Different species. Bruno takes all champs pre-Liston.

    The Bruno who fought Tuson first time around was 103kg (228lbs). Roided up to 250lbs in the 90s.

    Only yoked fighter Bruno fought was Jumbo cummings who had him out on his feet.

    I doubt it too. Frank gets him out of there courtesy of a sledgehammer right hand imo.

    Joshua has stopped far better opponents than Bruno so odds would seem to be better that Bruno is the one getting stopped

    You think looking like a body builder makes a fighter better than Louis?

    Two weak chins, Bruno was stopped several times, his punch resistance used to fade as he became more fatigued in a fight.

    Frank looked more like an NFL players which is the benchmark of athleticism on this planet. I'm guessing he could rep out 30 on 225 and run a 4.6 in his sleep.

    LOL, Frank was stopped by Smith/Witherspoon/Tyson/Lewis...................all those are levels above hogfat danish pastry Ruiz who never ever won a meaningful fight before ar after.

    If Bruno lands the same shot on AJ as he did on a incoming Tyson Aj will be counted out right there and then, not a chance in hell he would get up.
