Bruno would get to him about round 3

I wanted to show who voted in the poll but rushed it in my excitement.
I was hoping for more response.
Joshua looks to be more fluid and athletic than Bruno. Very similar builds.
He has the potential to become much better than Bruno ever was, but at this stage he hasn't done enough to take him over Bruno.
Frank fought prime Tyson and Lennox. He beat their asses too...before being knocked out. Well he was beating Lennox at least lol
thing is Bruno will never win a poll like this
probably because he was a light hearted fellow, people tend not to take him seriously
when in fact he was a beast, only losing to the very best of a very good era
BRUNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
its not funnyQuote:

BRUNO WASNT VULNERABLEQuote:

You could say that the other way round as well.Quote:

Who's knocked out Joshua?
I think Joshua is basically a better version of Bruno and would duff him up good and proper.
I'd say Bruno would definitely connect with the current Joshua in the first couple of rounds.
As we don't know much about his chin I'm guessing that that would be enough to end it in Frank's favour.
Frank would need smelling salts and fresh pants at the weigh-in let alone the ring.

It’s a bit of a tossup for me. I lean to Bruno because Joshua is a little wreckless and Bruno a little more polished overall. Still, Joshua has that Tyson like explosion and is less methodical. Trouble is he does not have Tysons flexibility or head movement.
Hes been stopped a couple of times in the ams and also was knocked out cold in soarring by Price apparently.Quote:

Joshua looks for 'real'. But at the moment I do not sense that 'aura' around him. But I guess Martin disagrees. So I do not think Bomber would be intimidated ala Tyson.
Bruno in his pomp (for me either Bugner or Coetzer, maybe Coetzee too) still would for me start as favourite. This is probably just me playing safe and wanting to see Joshua fighting some quality on par with Bruno's best, before changing my mind.
