    Jab and right hand maybe Bruno, but that's it.

    Joshua for sure

    Bruno was a very weak world champ. very chinny and stiff. lucky he kept getting shots, benefitted from a weak era

    Joshua is better but Bruno wasn't as bad as he is sometime accused of. He should have beaten Bonecrusher, otherwise all of his losses were honorable affairs to great fighters.

    Several of whom knocked him out. His best win is a close decision on a McCall who was damaged goods. Joshua was a dominant champion, flawed but still dominant. Bruno never got near those heights.

    There’s so many threads about AJ and Bruno. AJ’s better in every category, but on a good night Bruno would use his jab better.
