Is AJ closer to Frank Bruno or Lennox Lewis?

[JakeTheBoxer]

That’s a lie lol. The heavyweight division in the 90s was stacked compared to 2000s and 2010s...also arguably the 1980s which was dominated by Holmes and Tyson though

Also Foreman deserves credit for KOing Moore who was a pretty good boxer

What is a lie? 90s is overrated, and top dogs avoided each other. Only Holyfield fought all other guys.

Overrated as in the best decade ever for heavyweights? Yes but was the best decade for that division in the past 40 years. Lewis and Mercer also fought just about everyone.

You casuals never learn.

Well, you will, when Fury destroys this hype job.

Fury is the media over build up , you’ll see you like most fell for it . A.J will probably knock him out with 8 rnds ,don’t be shocked if he puts Fury down in the first rnd and jumps right on him .

Lewis

Bruno never beat the man like AJ did

AJ has a lot of good wins on his record, not sure why that's being ignored

[Boxing Goat]

He's the best version of both. The boxing of Lewis and the aggression of Bruno. AJ will absolutely destroy Fury and finally get the credit he deserves, which is ironic, he has about 5 wins on his record of better fighters than the big mouth. Whyte, Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz etc, all the guy does is fight champions and mandatories. Meanwhile....Fury, never defended a belt, has Wlad and the hype job from Alabama on his record, and that's the whole story. Other than to say he got dropped by Pajkic and Cunnigham (and Wilder), and beaten up by John McDermott and Otto Wallin. Most boxing observers can't tell when they're being sold something. The commentary is a clue folks, when you listen to Max Kellerman and those guys hyping a fighter like Wilder, turn the commentary off and watch it in silence. THAT is what a lot of avid fans of boxing do. If you can't see the politics and hype in boxing maybe you think the US election was stolen and covid is not real. God save us from people with their eyes closed.

Destroy Fury? That's wishful thinking. He can't out box him and will find it hard to land the 'money' shot

My money is on Fury by ko/tko

[Robbie Barrett]

Neither. he’s a bit like Bruno when he gets caught though, he freezes up and doesn’t know what to do.

Fury actually had elements of Lewis in the Wilder rematch, especially in stance.

WTF were you watching? Fury is nothing like Lewis. Joshua is more like Lewis than Fury is. FFS........ Wilder would have been taken out within 2 rounds by Lewis.

What about the version of Lewis that fought Rahman?

[famicommander]

Obviously Joshua is closer to Lewis. It's not even really a question.

But Bruno's championship losses don't really tell the full story either. He was ahead against Smith, Witherspoon, Lewis (though for not as long) and obviously McCall who he beat. Only Tyson was obviously a level above in their fights.

He was very comfortably in the right company with the Champions of that era.

1-5 with 5 stoppage losses speaks for itself. Bruno's only win against a champion came against a version of McCall who was having severe mental health and addiction issues at the time.

"Almost not losing before getting stopped" is not an accomplishment, it's loser talk.

[Robbie Barrett]

What about the version of Lewis that fought Rahman?

What about it? Rahman was far more skilled than Wilder.

[REDEEMER]

People are really taking the bait I see nothing Fury does better besides antagonize people . He can put himself in the corner and show boat evading shots holding the ropes against inferior fighters but the actual A.J fight is a disaster in the making if you bet on Fury and on a very long lay off .
