    Is Anthony Joshua closer to Lennox Lewis or is he closer to Frank Bruno?

    You'd have to ask him how well he knows them to get an idea, I suppose.

    Lennox vs Joshua

    Lennox - Better jab, better straight right. Slightly better gas tank, chin. Similar power.

    Joshua - Better uppercut I guess?

    Bruno vs Joshua

    Bruno - Better jab, better stamina

    Joshua - Greater power, better combinations, better straight right. Better chin. Better wins.

    Lewis vs Joshua - Lewis KO's in 5-6 rounds

    Bruno vs Joshua - Joshua probably KO's

    I think Joshua has the better left hook and footwork over Lennox

    AJ has better combinations than Lewis and better left hook, also more explosive and better at slipping and ripping.

    I've never understood why so many people compare AJ to Bruno. He is a lot more similar to Lennox but not as good obviously.

    Well, he's been a long running champion and beat Wlad so I'd put him closer to Lennox at this point. Bruno was always a choker at the highest level. Like he needed to clinch for dear life just to beat Oliver McCall, got blasted out by Witherspoon and Bonecrusher, and destroyed by Tyson twice, not to mention getting taken out by Lennox himself. You could argue that Joshua would face the same fate if he fought who Bruno fought, but, well, he hasn't, so we go by what's actually transpired in their careers.

    Bruno, but I haven't see AJ doing a proper panto to be sure.

    He is the closest thing possible to a Bruno/Lewis love child.
