Frank Bruno absolute LEGEND. Anthony Joshua Knocks him out in 8. They do get compared alot but i think they are nothing alike! The truth is they only get compared cos they both British, both Black and both have a similar physic. Theres levels in boxing. Joshua is on a completely different level to Bruno. Taking nothing away from Bruno like i said man is a living legend i got nothing but love and respect for him. Still remember my sitting on my old mans knee as a child watching Bruno cheering him on! Now ive got kids of my own sitting on my knee cheering on Joshua. Crazy!
Joshua on a different level from Bruno? He has only fought an old Klitschko and barely landed a glove on a very average Joe on Sat!!!!! I will agree with your comment when Tony Doshua beats fighters the equivalent of Iron Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis in their prime.
Bruno was and still is so underrated, I'm not saying he'd beat AJ but go and have a look at the level of opposition he fought and at what time he fought them.
bruno was a powerhouse and he would be able to over power aj and push him back lol aj is useless on the back foot and no way aj takes brunos shots
The Heavyweight Division at present is probably the worst ever and many levels below the era when Frank Bruno fought.
I say Joshua. Only because Joshua hits too hard for Bruno. Bruno himself hit hard. But you just know if aj hurt Bruno he,d finish it...franks mind went when he got caught. He didn't know where he was. aj has a similar bad reaction when hurt but his mind stays on...its the rest of his attributes that go. You,d fancy him to weather the storm. Bruno wouldn't be able to tho...if aj caught him he,d finish him.
aj power is overrated he has good power but his not the monster puncher the hype suggests and imo the opponents bruno lost to have a chance of beating aj
Regardless if that's true or not....aj has the power to stop Bruno. I think aj,s powers just as proven as Bruno,s. Bruno spent most of his career knocking out knockovers. Both can hit hard. I think aj has the much better chance of surviving than Bruno had tho. Bruno rarely survived when he was caught...did he ever survive when caught against anyone decent. We,ve already seen Joshua survive twice against decent opponents in whyte and Klitschko.
bruno is a different animal to them guys and whyte is trash his been built up to make aj look better its very likely aj stops bruno but bruno would not do a klitchsko and let aj off he would have ended the fight
Kicking myself for joining in here haha. Bruno was great for British boxing and a top character but at 6”3 he would struggle against Joshua’s size, reach and power. He was no mug but his feet were slow, and as a result he’d sit in range for too long and got caught with some big shots as a result. Whilst Joshua might not have twinkle toes, he can certainly step out of trouble and then back in with speed. It’s all subjective but imo Joshua would stop him.
That's based on Bruno stopping who tho. He lost to pretty much every good fighter he fought. Not only lost but ended up getting stopped everytime.
bruno might be limited but the one thing he had until he gasses was power and getting beat and stopped off greats or very good fighters isn't to bad aj has fought one elite fighter who was a shell and his next best win is parker that everyone side was to small and would get knocked out but now alot of people are now claiming Parker is really good now lol take away the hype his no better then a bruno just bruno had to many great fighters to compete with
