    This is just friendly advice. I would stay away from these guy's on Boxingscene

    They are some of the most vile trolls you will ever cross online. They will disrespect you and talk about your losses

    You're a grown man at the end of the day, but my advice would be to stay away from these guy's and don't waste your time.

I'm in my early 30s so I missed you in your prime but I remember watching some of your fights from the mid-90s on HBO. My dad was very complimentary about your fights against Larry Holmes, Greg Page, Pinklon Thomas, and Bonecrusher Smith.

            Bruno fought in a more competitive era but still has a great record. AJ is still learning the craft and one can argue that he only showed some skills in his last 2-3 fights. A fair comparison could be made after his career is over. At this point, I would go with Bruno because AJ has lost to smaller opponents and fights fearfully.

              Bruno could really take a punch! I was told not to worry because he couldn't take a punch...man did we have that wrong!!!

                  Well, Team Bruno, looks like we have some strong support!

                  2x Champion TIM WITHERSPOON himself is here with us and confirms that Bruno was tough and could hit very hard.

                  Unless another Champion enters this thread to provide counter evidence, I'm feeling confident in my pick of Frank Bruno as the better British fighter!

                    joshua is better! joshua beat better fighters while bruno lost nearly every big fight he ever had! he not only lost he got destroyed several times. bruno wasn't elite during his era and he wouldn't be elite during joshua's era either.
