Both are robots from the same factory. Probably Joshua is a better model.

Based on these two performances that you've mentioned - I'd take Bruno from the Lewis fight over Joshua from the Helenius fight.

Bruno fought really well and was arguably winning the fight, before getting careless and eventually getting stopped by Lewis. Needs to mentioned, though, that it was still a somewhat raw, pre-Steward version of Lennox.

Joshua was very wound up and tied in that Helenius bout. For a week notice replacement, Helenius was actually doing fairly well in that bout. He was touching AJ here and there. It looked as if Joshua couldn't make himself let his hands go for a good half of a fight.

All things considered, I'd take Bruno.

Frank, I had him a round up until the stoppage.

Bruno's performance against Lewis is overrated. He looked good when Lennox was tentative and indecisive, as soon as the latter began asserting himself and making use of his superior skills it was over. AJ is a bigger puncher and takes a punch a bit better. Might get rocked once in this hypothetical fight, but I think he'd stop Bruno around the halfway point.

Agree on all of this.

Joshua alson has better punch variety. He can turn a fight that he's losing. He's a much better fighter than Bruno.

Bruno would have his moments like his fight with Lewis by outboxing AJ behind his jabs and right hands, but AJ would rally into the middle rounds by jabbing more and left-right combinations to stop Bruno in 8 rounds.

Joshua is better

Sorry Keith.....I was having a senior moment

Personally, I'd see this as a 50/50 whatever the career trajectory of either man.

Both guys can crack, can be cracked and are equally physical but potentially liable to run out of fuel a bit.

I'd possibly weight it 55-45 in favour of AJ but I can't help thinking of that loss against Ruiz which was a bit of a shocker....and I could make a case for Frank rag-dolling Ruiz and knocking him spark out inside 3-4 rounds.

They're very closely matched for me but I hedge towards Joshua...whilst not ruling out him getting dropped by Bruno. If Daniel could close out the show, so could Frank.
