    I find that offensive towards Bruno, who was significantly better.

    He couldn't ever comeback once truly hurt though, so its in the area of chinny. Bruno would probably be out cold standing up still rigid as fook

    You're not giving Frank Bruno near enough credit here.

    Actually AJ is the second coming of Bruno, and will be viciously KO'd by an American in a similar fashion.

    And in the UK in front of his adoring fans, when he's 21-0, just like Bruno.

    Here's a sneak preview.

    Bruno was an extremely weak world champion, he was even worse than Wilder. That period was weak as **** when Bruno was champ before the ex soviet union countries could turn pro, guys like Henry Akinwande, Bruce Seldon and Lionel Butler were heavyweight champs also :lol:

    They're literally nothing alike. Bruno had an excellent jab
    which he relied on primarily, he also gassed.
    Joshua is more Bruno than Wilder.

    Bruno would probably bend Wilder over tbf.

    Bruno and wilder are very different the only thing in common is power.Both have genuine one punch power apart from that they are nothing alike!Wilder wips in hard shots and Buzzs round the ring Frank moved carefully behind his jab .

    Bruno would have some early success against Wilder with his jab but he's gonna be knocked out in similar late fashion to his Smith, Spoon and Lewis fights.

    Bruno was and still is loved by his countrymen. Wilder is not known by his.

    It's hard to take you seriously reading your Joshua-Parker scorecard.

    I don't recall Bruno having such a...er, "refined" windmill game.
