    that bulk and strength of Whyte would drain that Bruno gastank. And he never learned how to weather a storm after getting hurt badly. Same thing here--Frank gets hurt and goes into his prevent defense which allows the ref to wave it off. That nasty left hook will be the end of Bruno once those arms drop and those hands get lower and lower.

    Like most, I like Frank Bruno.

    I also think there's a good chance that he would be petrified in there versus Dillian Whyte.

    What has Joshua done to show his skill level is way above Smith’s?

    I can’t think of any opponents that Joshua has beaten that Smith couldn’t. Joshua admittedly has a lot of potential and if he keeps fighting and learning, who knows how good he may turn out to be, but for now he’s still a green fighter. Joshua’s pacing isn’t any better than Bruno’s so I could see Bonecrusher also stopping Joshua at this point.

    Fury has more dimensions to his game, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Bonecrusher managed to connect on Fury and put him on his back either, since Fury is still a big target and Smith is better a pacing himself and punching from different angles than Wilder is.

    Also, Fury was better at slipping punches than Larry Holmes was?

    Frank by brutal early KO!. Whyte is not in the same class.

    Don’t go off the 2nd Tyson fight, mentally Bruno was shot for that.
    The first fight with Tyson and in all his major fights Bruno wasn’t petrified of anyone, a silly comment.
