    AJ has a much better resume. More titles and defences. Bruno lost all his big fights and barely won on the 4th attempt. Brutalised by Tyson in his first defence. Having said that, Bruno was much more likeable.

    Why even bring that up? AJ would have received the same fate.

    Because it was first and only defence. Bit sensitive aren't you? Yes no doubt the same would have happened to AJ.

    Tim would smash Ruiz.....and Bruno v Ruiz is perhaps a 50/50 fight. I like Bruno's chances against Ruiz though

    What fight on Tim's resume gives you that confidence, Bruno? I'm not sure Bruno beats Ortiz btw and defo not Joshua.

    The same AJ that got embarrassed by a morbidly obese Andy?

    Just stop.

    I agree with the people who say Joshua was the better boxer and had a better career, but the people saying "Bruno always came up short". I'd argue Joshua would've lost to every single one of them also, the only one I give Joshua a chance against is Bonecrusher Smith.

    No the Frank Bruno who gave Lennox Lewis all the trouble in the world and the one who rocked Mike Tyson

    Got stopped by them both and was noticeably bricking himself against Tyson.

    AJ beats Bruno end of story.

    From Tims resume what about the split decision loss to Larry Holmes in 1983....that was just Tims 16th pro fight. I take that version of Tim to smash Ruiz

    Not a performance that I'd rate with Ruiz in the Garden but fair do's.
