    How Would AJ have done meeting Bruno s Title fight opponents?
    Tim Witherspoon (86 version)
    Mike Tyson (1989 version)
    Lennox Lewis (1993 version)
    Mike Tyson (1996 version)

    Good morning,Fergy.

    Good question. Off the top of my head I'd say that fights between AJ and the above would have gone similarly to how they did with Frank. I'll ponder on it,though. Joshua and Bruno were similar in some ways but AJ was more explosive while,in my opinion,Frank was the harder single shot puncher.

    Morning pal
    The one I see him possibly beating is Witherspoon, I think Frank just absolutely tired by the late rounds with him and thus he was kod.
    He's not beating Tyson in 89 for sure imo.
    The Lewis Fight, Lennox seemed sluggish for a while till he finally nailed Bruno, so maybe a close run fight. I still think Lennox nails him eventually.
    The ninety s Tyson was obviously not the same but I think he still has the power to beat AJ, perhaps a little later than 3 Rounds.

    Joshua might well have been able to beat the version of Witherspoon that Bruno was offered.

    He would almost certainly have lost to Lewis

    He looses to Tyson of 89, but might have beaten the Tyson of 96.

    Even Tyson from the first Holyfield fight might catch him in the first round, the way they opened up in the first round...AJ has never dreamed of brawling at that pace, he'd be a piranha in the tank with a shark, obviously 89 Tyson obliterates him, Lewis runs him down outclasses/schools him rather easily even if it's a bit slow/cautious

    Loses to Tyson and Lewis. Might lose to Witherspoon. Maybe.
