    I'd take Bruno in all honesty. I dont think AJ has the chin to last long enough to exploit Bruno's poor stamina. Bruno inside of 5.

    Bruno early. Joshua is a Teemu Bruno. Frank would lay him out.

    Joshua wouldn't know what to do with Brunos jab and would be KO'd inside 3.

    Usyk stops Frank around the 9-12 round mark

    That tends to happen when one guy is fortunate enough to come up in a shit era, and the other comes up in an era of first a prime Tyson, and then a prime Lewis.

    Joshua had the higher highs but the lower lows.

    Bruno's win over McCall is better than anything Joshua has done as a pro, including beating the absolutely faded dregs of Waldpussy.

    Joshua probably sticks to selling drugs and hustling soft 'white boys' in London if he's around during the era Bruno fought. In historical terms, he's nobody.

    Bruno rocked a prime Tyson and was owning a prime Lewis until Lummox landed that desperation hook on him. He also rocked Lummox in that fight.

    I cannot envision AJ surviving Bruno's early firepower. Couldn't even handle DD's firepower and Bruno was prime Liston compared to DD.
