Bruno for me. They best AJ MAY be a better boxer but Bruno beats him. I don't think AJ can stand up to his thudding jab and consistent heavy handed attack. Bruno stops him before halfway...
I don’t trust Bruno’s chin. But I trust it more than I trust AJ’s given Bruno hits like a sledgehammer. Bruno KO4
I don't think Bruno was ever as good as even 41 year old Wlad. So I'm going with AJ in the same manner as he did Klitschko with few hiccups along the way.
To cite Bruno's chin as a problem may, or may not be, unfair. His problem seemed to be an inability to process what to do after he'd been tagged, a problem I think he had because he wasn't a natural 'fighter' and didn't have the natural survival instincts that particular attribute brings.
For me It's not a simple prediction but say Joshua by tko after 10 rounds. Bruno poor stamina and poor recovery would have been decisive in my opinion.
I don't think there's a huge amount in it, but consider AJ a slightly higher calibre fighter - I think the highest Bruno was ever ranked by Ring was #7 whereas AJ was ranked #1 at one time. AJ was a little bigger and possibly a little faster, which is a tough combination to overcome. Both were stiff, but AJ a little more fluid. Bruno probably had slightly better single punch power. Neither had great stamina or survival instincts when hurt, but Bruno was definitely more vulnerable in regard to the latter.
This is hard, and I really don't know if I'd be able to pick a steady victor here. I think that both men are in the same realm of skill, both have shaky chins and heavy stopping power here, but maybe Joshua would be able to take it with his more variable offensive capabilities? Bruno really wouldn't like AJ's uppercuts, but AJ wouldn't care for that telephone pole jab. Hard fight that'd be real competitive like AJ Vs Klitschko was.
Pick em fight for me. Both guys hit hard and both guys could be stopped. Joshua was the bigger and stronger man which is something that Frank didn’t go up against too often though.
AJ stops him, but not without difficulties. He gave Witherspoon and Lewis a tough time and I suspect that had Bruno fought Bowe, he'd have given Bowe a hard time before being stopped.
