    A past-prime Bruno was able to beat a prime McCall, and so I'm inclined to pick stiff Bruno here

    Difficult to pick. AJ has been dethroned and troubled by quick-fisted guys - Bruno was everything but. Bruno looked better at times and didn't lose to anyone as bad as Ruiz (Bonecrusher was narrowly better), but AJ has clearly the better record of actual victories.

    Same exact response as the Golota fight. Bruno could blow it, but on paper he's the favorite.

    I have extremely little faith in AJ's chin holding up to Bruno's wrecking power.

    Yes, I think a young, prime Bruno hits harder than a 40-year-old Wlad.

    Joshua gets hits so flush. Doesn't partially block or roll with shit. Everything that hits him lands flush on the button.

    Exactly as I see it. Bruno is better, but he could easily find a way to lose.

    He could find a way to lose, but if he shows up like he did in the Lewis fight, I really do not think AJ is gonna last long.

    The man was beating the crap out of a faaarrrrrrrrrr better fighter than AJ until Lewis landed that hail Mary hook.

    Joshua should beat Bruno. He's way better than Smith. Much more fluid and explosive than Bruno, but the jab could really fuck with AJ's head.
