Anthony Joshua or Frank Bruno

Two questions.

1) Who would've won?

2) Who was better?

I go with Anthony Joshua on both. Frank Bruno was as stiff as they come. Frank Bruno, in my opinion, is quite bitter in his old age talking as if he would've beat the likes of Tyson Fury etc. He was a beloved character, but mainly for trivial things like his voice, laugh, and relationship with Harry Carpenter. Anthony Joshua has never been a great boxer, either (who's he beaten?) but I think he would've put Frank Bruno over!

 

If Ruiz and Dubois are able to stop AJ then so can Frank
Wins - Bruno
Better Boxer - Joshua

 

Like out of 3 fights, they'd maybe get a win each and a draw between them.

 

1. Bruno
2. Bruno

Unfortunately The Big Humble would be badly hurt with Big Frank knocking him from Wembley to Watford.

Would be a replica of the Dubois fight.

 

Bruno.
Not a doubt in my mind.
Frank was a better boxer than he gets credit for.
He would ram that jab into Josh's face so hard, that alone would stop him in his tracks, but once he lands that right hand on him it would be as good as over.
Bruno would rough him up on the inside easily as well, either way he stops him by around the fifth.

 

Bruno was certainly stronger than Joshua. He would have been able to rough him up on the inside but I feel as though Bruno may have been too stiff for Joshua.

 

Joshua on both counts, AJ is a better boxer and in his prime had a world class straight right, although like frank had some fragility. If they fought 10 times frank may win 1 or 2. There is no way a fight between those two ends in a draw.

 

Klitschko, Parker, are probably his best wins.

 

Pretty grim. Klitschko coming off the couch, on the verge of retirement, already lost and knocked out by less than top level opposition, having just been beaten by Fury, and of course it with home advantage. To credit both, they gave it their all.

Parker, unlike Klitschko, was an absolute disgrace. I've watched chess matches with more physical violence.

Besides that, I tend to agree with your assumption. I think Bruno would struggle to win two matches out of ten. I also think that facing another Brit, Bruno would be feeling a lot of pressure, particularly if Joshua were to gain a sizeable portion of the public's support. I think he'd take that tension into the ring making him even stiffer and draining his stamina.

 

Joshua for both. Bruno *could* catch him early but more likely is that the bigger, faster more explosive and dynamic Joshua lands first and blasts him out.

 

Bruno and I have zero hesitation saying that. He'd have stopped AJ and quite quickly, certaonly before halfway. AJ would shell up after tasting that jab and he'd become ever more hesitant as his doubts grow, and thats no frame of mind when your fighting Frank.

 

The more I look at it, the more I realise dubois & bruno are basically identical.

Good strong jabs, big muscles, good punch power, both shite themselves when hurt.

Therefore that leaves me no other option but to go with bruno to pummel AJ in a few rounds.

 

It's close. I think if they swapped CVs then they would have pretty much the same record but I don't think Bruno fully recovers from that Wlad right hand.

 

Would AJ beat a confident 1995 not in rehab Oliver McCall?

 

Grew up watching Bruno, was my favourite fighter ever and the person who got me into boxing.

that said, Joshua by demolition. Too big, too strong. He’s just a better version of Bruno in every way really.
