    Both have similarities, but I do think AJ has more intangibles.

    Could see either guy KOing the other, but I have a feeling AJ gets him out in 10 rounds after both tasting the canvas.

    Weirdly enough, I was watching some old school Bruno fights earlier this week. If we are talking up to the Bonecrusher fight, he wasn't nearly as stiff as I remembered, he was actually quite fluid, if a bit upright. Still, he looked decent, quicker than I thought too. He really did go a bit overboard with the weights and shit after that though, almost unrecognisable. Anyway, Bruno always had a really underrated jab, it's one of the best heavyweight jabs outside of Holmes imo, he just didn't have much else besides power and heart. I think AJ has more to him and takes him out at some point late on after early difficulties.

    Frank Bruno didn't like it up him. Unlike Lewis. Lewis likes it up him!
