    You only have to use your brain for 5 seconds to consider that Frank was far superior to Dillian Whyte in every way, which logically means that he would give Joshua a very tough night indeed.

    And if Dillian could land and hurt Joshua, Bruno certainly would be able to he had a great jab, very heavy power shots and had no problems dealing with Lennox Lewis's physical attributes.

    To put everything in context, we have not seen the best of AJ yet, so its difficult, if not impossible to match them "prime". However, if the AJ of today were to face Frank on the night he got beat by the "Terrible One", then we may see AJ in trouble. Give AJ another couple of years to see how he moves up and improves, and I may well change my mind.

    Always good to use the triangle theory.

    Saying that AJ wouldn't beat Bruno because of how others fared versus him.

    Christ you're thick.

    Exactly, so using his performances against others as a frame of reference is useless.

    Why are you finding this so difficult?

    Explain the "triangle theory" I used please :think

    I said those fighters like a prime Tyson, a young and undefeated Lewis, a solid world champion Witherspoon and another man who went on to become a world champion Bonecrusher Smith didn't beat Bruno with "ease"

    You said Joshua would beat a prime Bruno with "ease" and I said that was very disrespectful to Bruno.

    I didn't say Bruno would beat Joshua did I? I even read my post again to make sure and I didn't, my point was to write Bruno off as some sort of soft touch is wrong and I genuinely believe that.

    Whyte and Breazeale took Joshua 7 rounds, a prime Bruno would be this version of Joshua toughest test by a long way and by far the biggest puncher Joshua would have faced.

    Joshua could go on to become a great, we don't know yet, what we do know is Bruno was only beaten by world champions or future world champions and a few very good ones too.

    Ok so how are you coming to the conclusion Joshua would beat a prime Bruno with "ease"?

    Based on what I see, funnily enough.

    I'd break it down, but you've already decided Joshua is rubbish, Bruno was better than we all believed and that AJ struggles so why bother?

    Classic case of mis-remembering the past methinks.

    I'll try again with smaller words.

    4 it 2 be a triangle they wud have to have fought the same guy.

    If that's still too difficult for you, ask an adult!

    Where have I said Joshua is rubbish? I'm British, why would I run down one of our world champions?

    I didn't say Bruno was better, you are just making things up, having a conversation about things that were not said.

    I said Joshua wouldn't beat Bruno with "ease" but you did and I believe you're wrong and explained why with a few little facts about Bruno's career and his performances against some very good fighters.

    It's not a classic case of mis remembering the past, it's a classic case of you reading things that were not typed and you just seeing things.

    :good
