    True, but if you watch closely again, before the cheap shot that was thrown after the ref calls 'stop boxing', Price gets clipped and sort of 'powers down' for a second. He has the worst chin in British boxing. Worse than Khan's and that's a bold statement I don't make lightly...

    Bruno wins but as a few others have said its difficult to compare whilst AJ is not fighting same level of opponents.

    prime bruno has enough to hurt joshua. He might stop him.
    JOshua hasnt shown enough to say he can stop prime brown sauce yet nor win on points. But his best bet might be points since he has a youg mans tank, bruno had stamina issues even when prime so josh might be able to make up a deficit of getting outboxed early on.


    The main issue is that joshua has reached international belt level with martin, not world level.

    AJ may also gas when at the higher level as he has similar build I think its what we are all waiting on seeing but when that will be not sure.

    The World Heavyweight Division in the days of Bruno compared to the last 10 years is like comparing Real Madrid to Tranmere Rovers.

    Big Frank faced fighters at their peak including Lewis and Tyson where Tony Dosh winning a World Title from Chuck Martin says it all.

    Tony Dosh at the present time has great potential but if he faced Bruno in his prime in his next fight - he would be knocked out within 6 rounds.

    Tony Dosh has not faced a decent opponent yet in any of his fights yet has a World Title - the heavyweight division is so bad these days it can only improve.

    Bruno did basically everything better than AJ. His jab for example was light-years ahead of AJ'S.

    Bruno was under-rated. He was nothing special and wasn't stylish though he was strong as an ox and determined. I still believe that Joshua would have walked him down and crushed him in the later rounds.

    I don't know enough about Femi to say who'd take it until he faces a decent opponent like Parker or Pulev.

    I know. He's acting like the 90's was super hard an era to become a titlist in when the likes of Morrison, Hyde and Bentt all became 'world' champs.

    Not quite sure what you're even trying to suggest here TBH. I will say I've had a good day though. I just don't agree that the 90s was a super hard time to become a titlist.
