    Bruno was the size of AJ at 3 inches shorter. Bruno was Bulkier than AJ. Aj has a more active guard and and believe it or not he has quicker feet too. He isn't as stiff as people make him out to be.

    Bruno wasn`t as bulky as AJ but yes AJ still has more speed than Frank did.

    Modern fighters aren`t better than olden day greats though their size would be a huge problem, Rooney would be a better person to talk about Tyson`s ability because says a lot of strange things because he`s a strange person.

    Tony Tucker was top level fighter when he fought Tyson, that was Tyson`s best fight.

    Ruddock relied too much on that punch he hardly threw any other punch against a faded Tyson.

    AJ throws more combo`s than Lewis did, the main combo Lewis threw was the 1-2.

    No. Bruno was far more proven than Joshua is. Bruno had to fight Smith, who was a beast and beat McCall, who destroyed Lewis for his WBC title. Bruno had a better jab, same reach, and faced way better competition than Joshua. The only thing Joshua has over Bruno is 3 inches in height. Joshua is still a work in progress and may live up to his potential, but he has a long way to go.

    Bruno's competition

    If Smith fought AJ the crappy way he fought Bruno at walking pace AJ would toy with him but wouldn`t stop him because even a prime Tyson couldn`t stop Smith who was great at spoiling and Bruno lost because he couldn`t react when gassed and hurt like AJ did vs Wlad if that had of been Bruno it would have ended like all his KO losses. Tyson had sacked Rooney when he had his dreadful fight vs Frank, Wlad was far better against AJ than Mike was that night he was only throwing ones or one two`s he wasn`t doing the number combo`s like of old. Witherspoon was flabby vs Bruno compared to when he fought Holmes Wlad again was in far better shape than Tim was in that sloppy match where Bruno got caught time and time again, AJ uses a half skip backwards to avoid shots Bruno was right there a stiff target. McCall without Steward was crap again Wlad would toyed with McCall even at the age of forty Lewis was awful against Bruno and McCall then Steward came into his camp and straightened his punches if Lewis had of fought AJ throwing those wild rights he threw vs Frank he would have countered to death AJ is an excellent counter puncher Bruno wasn`t, Bruno would have landed far less punches vs Takam who was probably as good as anyone Bruno fought!

    Tyson in his heyday would beat the current version of Joshua. Maybe in a few more fights Joshua might evolve into something better but at this point he's too cautious a fighter and Tyson just destroyed that type of fighter.

    early tyson was a beast and that was his prime.
    i loved watching his fights he was pure entertainment.

    albeit he won the vast majority of his early fights by his opponents literally being afraid of him.

    holyfield a true warrior and tyson knew it matched fire with fire.
    bruno lost both fights in his head before he ever got in the ring.

    buster douglas a hot and cold fighter showed that a very good jab stopped tyson getting to you albeit this version of tyson had a lot of out of the ring distractions which was sad.

    AJ is still to early to tell where he stands / he might get multiple sparked out in the next few years he might dominate / hindsight is easy./ telling the future is impossible.

    An inferior fighter like Whyte had Joshua stunned, but couldn't keep his hands going due to poor stamina. Smith and McCall both have an 82 inch just like Joshua and would've abused Takam. The Wlad that Joshua beat looked good because Joshua has no jab or mobility. A younger and more active Wlad couldn't even find an opening on Fury, who was novice novice experience wise compared to a lot of Bruno's top competition.

    Also Takam as good as anyone Bruno ever fought????

    Takam has always failed at the top level. Besides against Tyson himself Bruno was always competitive at the top level and even managed to become a champ. If Takam were as good as you say he would've managed to win at least once against a champion or a top contender, but hasn't despite fighting at a time when the competition is very weak at the heavyweight division.

    Calling bruno the old poor version of Aj is a huge insult and only says, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M WATCHING. They have no resembling talent.

    I don't know anything other than looks and country that are close enough to attach them
