    Would Bruno break his fists against Slow Joe?

    Interesting fight. I need to see Joe in with a real puncher before I'd feel comfortable picking him to walk down Frank.

    Frank would light him up but the real question is if Joyce can stand up to that power long enough make Bruno gas out.

    I could see a Bonecrusher happening in where Bruno completely out-boxes the sloth for nine rounds and just gets KO'd in the 10th

    Bruno being totally exhausted, getting caught and stopped brutally is the safe bet. He just had no survival instincts once he was badly hurt.

    Not so sure. It took LL a lot of rounds before being able to get to Bruno, amd it goes without saying that Joyce is no LL

    The thing is with the exception of Tyson all Bruno's losses follow the same pattern: He starts strong and gives his opponents trouble before he starts to fatigue and become vulnerable. Joyce is no Lewis or Witherspoon but he damn sure could do what Bonecrusher did. That's the fight I had in mind.

    Bruno punched really fucking hard, mind. I know Joyce seems to have a great chin but the difference between just walking through Parker's best punches and walking through Bruno's is massive.

    If he can do that, he probably does win late though, I agree.

    Agreed with Feebs.

    You can't compare bums like Parker to Bruno and his power.

    Personally, I think Frank would fuck Joyce up.

    Pretty much how I see it. If Joyce can take Wilder's punch then I'd make him favourite.

    I said early on if Joyce handles the power from a real puncher he can beat Bruno late but Bruno would light him up in the process. He has the size and power to make Bruno gas out late but it's still a mystery if he can do it.

    If Frank had better stamina he might be able to use his very good jab to control Joyce like he did to McCall for most of their fight.
