    Miller is garbage. Especially this current version.

    Hrgrovic hasn’t done anything. And he won’t do anything.

    I’d honestly have given Frank a good chance of beating the version of AJ who Daniel beat.

    I can’t see Daniel having survived Witherspoon, Tyson or Lennox.

    I wouldn’t say there was much in them.

    Not in skills, power and chin etc.

    He’s not on another level.

    Hrgovic beats Bruno

    Bruno was not good

    Dillian Whyte was better

    I’d have given Frank a very good chance of beating the Croatian. He hasn’t done anything.

    Like I keep saying, there’s not much between them.

    Nobody can say that Dubois was much better, as in - he was on another level.

    He isn’t.

    Id favor Hrgovic over Bruno

    Would be interesting

    Bruno is less skilled and has a worse tank

    Bruno has more power

    Dont think Bruno knocks him out

    Okay.

    We’ll leave it there.

    Again, I’d say they were of a similar level overall.

    I some contexts he might win lineage and in others perhaps just a belt. But either way I think he’d be a solid contender in all those eras

    His overwhelming size advantages and power would give him a definite shot in the 1950's.
    His skill level would give him an excellent chances in the last 20 yrs.
    Yes, that is how bad the last 20 yrs have been.

    Mother****ers will check who was born more recently and pick their winner based on that sole stat alone
