Frank Bruno vs Alexander Povetkin - Primes

Bruno and Chisora were both predictable, limited come forward boxers who couldn't box on the back foot. The difference between the two is Nruno had the better jab but was less durable than Chisora.

AJ on the can box on back effectively (Parker and Ruiz 2), was the smarter boxer (setting traps against Povetkin), superior hand speed, better footwork, superior cominbination puncher, better variety of punches, has the better uppercut (Vs Whyte, Wlad and Pulev) and better career wins against quality opposition than Bruno and Chisora combined.

 

Give over, Joshua was terrible against Parker and needed a ref to keep Parker at arms length. Ruiz was a fat 300lbs mess

This backfoot Joshua is a myth made up to fool people who don't know what they are seeing.

People do give Joshua a lot of **** but you give him far too much credit. Guess it's nice to see a balance.

 

Bruno: suspect chin, engine, heart, no backfoot game, slow, stiff: a poor man's AJ. Povetkin was a highly skilled gold medalist with a good chin, athleticism and power (especially the 2014-2016 version) and had a style similar to Tyson as he was trained by Atlas. A post-Douglas, post-4+ years in prison, 4 minutes of ring time in the previous 8 months, almost 30 year old Tyson obliterated Bruno inside 7 minutes, despite Bruno doing more holding than fighting.
