    Joshua is the better fighter.

    Both are stiff but Bruno was a lot stiffer.

    Bruno really had no variation to his game, where AJ has at least a couple of different looks. Even if he's not a whizz like that.

    Bruno would DEFINATLEY be stopped by Usyk and likely wouldn't take a round.

    There are similarities but but Joshua is a better version.

      I wish Joshua would work with you Mr Witherspoon but he seems set in his ways with his team.

      Great to have you here, thanks for the great fights over the years.

        decent against basic opponents. Both fell apart when it gets tough.
        Frank Bruno did not fall apart when the going got tough? Have you seen Bruno vs Lewis, vs Bone Crusher Smith or Tim Witherspoon?

        It was only really Mike Tyson who blew Bruno away during the second fight.

        Bruno vs Lewis was a hard fight for Lewis until the stoppage, and Bruno was winning both fights vs Bone Crusher Smith & Tim Witherspoon until he was stopped 'And those fights were brutal fights'.

        Saying that he fell apart, when the going got tough is complete and utter nonsense. A narrative made up and repeated continually by the certain sections of the media.

        Well what can I expect? That is the whole game of Tyson Fury's hardcore fans 'They create narratives and stories which get repeated online, on the streets or wherever' Like a form of conditioning.

        This then hopefully creates a perception surrounding Tyson Fury, and increases his reputation.

        The narrative that Frank Bruno, would simply fall apart when the going got tough 'Is not 100% accurate'.

              The 90s HWs were overrated. Most of those guys were roids nut who blocked punches with their faces.

              AJ has himself to blame for not being smart with his decision making and letting Teflon Hearn ruin his career.

              In the real world, Bruno will never be fit to lace his boots.

              I don't even think Bruno in his prime was as good as the current Dubois.

                Mr. Witherspoon,

                Just watched your interview with Kugan Cassius and I agree with you that Deontay Wilder needs to bring some new defensive movement and a lot of new punches into the ring on Saturday night.

                It won't be an easy fight, but he's had 20 months since the last time to correct some mistakes. I'd like to see him give Fury a challenge and slow him down with some solid body shots. I'll be watching for a jab to the body and a left hook aimed at Fury's liver.

                I was so impressed with Usyk's energy and skills that I have doubts AJ can defeat him. But who knows, the story isn't finished for AJ. With the right game plan, anything is possible. I hope he can have a few talks with you and get some advice before the rematch.

                Cong**** on the Youtube channel and I'll be tuning in for your words of wisdom and old school boxing.

                    I would love to teach him the Witherspoon defense. Can you imagine my defense and his offense?!

                      So Frank Bruno was outboxing Lennox Lewis up till the 7th round but wouldn’t win a round against Usyk?
