Would prime Frank Bruno had done better against Usyk than Joshua did?

Bruno may have lost via a closer decision than Joshua did in their first fight but Bruno isn't special enough to beat Usyk. So, since Bruno is losing just like Joshua he is not going to do better than Joshua.

 

He probably would have taken more risk, but I don't see him beating Usyk.

 

Bruno wasn’t on AJs level. Bruno never won a fight against an elite HW other than against McCall. And McCall was ageing and coming off a major drug addiction.

Usyk would have stopped Bruno both fights. Bruno used to horrifically gas out from around round 8-9 in all of his fights. Usyk would have lit him up at their point.

 

I like Bruno's chances better than Joshua's, he would have tried harder and pushed himself to the limit if he saw he was losing the boxing match. I think Bruno would give more of himself trying to take Usyk out.

 

Bruno would have knocked Usyk the **** out

 

Not a chance. Bruno was far more one dimensional and smaller. He looked stiff AF to me. Usyk's footwork alone would have been a nightmare.

 

Doubt it, Bruno would be exhausted by the 6th or 7th round and probably wouldn’t reach the end. Joshua isn’t the best and ik people don’t like him around here (I don’t either) but Bruno fares worse than him against Usyk.

 

Bruno has his limitations as already pointed out but he would have tried a lot harder and gave a better showing of himself than Joshua certainly did in his two poor outings against Usyk .

 

Bruno was a much superior bodybuilder in physique . But I couldn't tell you if he could beat Usyk. Joshua was a hype job. lol

 

No.

 

Bruno was even more wooden and stiff than AJ. Would have been seriously outboxed.

 

No Joshua is better than Bruno he has better combinations, better boxer, etc.

Overall I think if Joshua would've fought Usyk before having his soul taken by Ruiz, their fights might of been a bit more interesting. I feel Joshua holds back now and doesn't have the confidence when he was KO artist early in his career.

 

Usyk is better than Spoon and Smith who stopped Bruno, as is Joshua btw, so no chance.

 

Would Bruno have beat Usyk, likely not unless a Bruno bomb landed, but Bruno because of his poor gas tank would know he had to be on the offensive in early rounds, so i see it as heavy artillery from Bruno early on, but past mid rounds Usyk takes over.

Both lose to Usyk, it is just the manner of that loss, but a loss is a loss, one thing is for sure Bruno post fight would not have spouted that 'bull faeces' that AJ did in the ring, or acted in such a spoiled child like manner.
