Frank Bruno not a believer in Usyk: he wouldn't make it in my era

-Bader was a big puncher
-Reyes is a big puncher
-Thiago was a scary KO artist
-He signed up to fight Rumble who is arguably the best & hardest 'bomber" up until Ngannou
-You might not consider Machida or Shogun "bombers" but they were more capable of delivering highlight knockouts than anyone who spammed overhands
-Rashad has one of the craziest and hardest bombs of all time against Chuck
-Glover was a monster and bomber with both hands.
-He wants to fight Alex next who arguably has the best and heaviest hands in the game right now.
-Belfort lmao...how do you not put his power and hands on par with anyone. Legit bomber lmao

The more I think about it this is a really bad take...lol all time bad take

He was going to fight Dan Henderson at UFC 151 also but Dan tore his MCL. A fighter who's right was literally called the H-Bomb.

Yeah, I can't tell if he's trolling or just way over confident in his knowledge or time following combat sports.
His posts scream younger newer boxing/MMA fan that surface google searches to try & sound like an authority on something hes no authority on.

You're not excused.
This silly question has nothing to do with your debunked point.
Jones has fought plenty of "bombers."
The Rumble fight not happening wasn't due to him being scared. Its due to him being a savage & degenerate.

Nobody at 205 has fought more people with KO power in their hands than Bones.

That's actually pretty impressive. Back then they were 10x better so #88 would be a Top 10 win by today's standards.

Im talking about his own era. Considering he was a superstar in the UK he had no even top 50 wins even before Mccall
 
I’d like to see Larry Holmes and Bruno have a discussion about who’d win between them and who would be able to dismiss the most fighters of other eras .

Bruno is partially right but that’s on,y bc no one has actually taken advantage when fighting Usyk other then Chisora who was doing so much holding and hitting among repeated low blows he had the most success against him but would be disqualified outside the U.K . and he was distill saved by the bell in round 4 or 5 arguably ?

Fury fought terrible danced around in two fights instead of actually going in and using his weight and Joshua had him hurt twice in two fights but somehow forgot to continue body shots and in the second fight had him badly stunned in round 9 then forgot he’s actually a great finisher ?


I don’t think Usyk defeats Lewis or Mike Tyson those two are the worst possible matches against him . I think that’s what he’s probably alluding to , Holyfield is a 50/50 fight id say Usyk, Bowe would be problematic but can’t really put him over him such an accomplished fighter like Usyk , and Bruno himself wouldn’t have the gas tank ,Usyk would do a Joshua on him with less danger .

How do you like this logic. Joshua apparently felt it was smart to bullrush a puncher in Dubios. But Usyk who is not a puncher he is gun shy with-

Joshua didn’t really bull rush Dubois he was on back foot unless I dint remember correctly ? He definitely fought Usyk wrong twice and it still was close , the Fury fights weren’t close at all if we’re counting punches landed the first fight was laughable because it wasn’t even close really and the second fight was even easier to score despite no knockdown or standing 8 counts .
 
Im gonna pay my respects to Frank now. I've always admired his muscles.

Dubois is a big puncher but he doesn't have the hand speed that Usyk has. Joshua was getting stung with shots that he didn't see coming and so did Dubois.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Dubois was asked, “does Usyk hit hard or is it simply the speed?” He opted for the latter.

“Speed I guess. Everyone at that level is a good heavyweight so I think speed and the condition I was in.”

Thats what it feels like for them because he doesnt punch at the moment they expect. Usyk does not have any special hand speed. Briggs has faster hands, just to name one and hes twice as big.

Good one. Here's what Mike Tyson thinks of Usyk's speed.

“I thought he was really fast and his speed if anything was what f**ked up Joshua.”

Its not speed in the sense of hand speed. He does have head movement and footwork that is fast, but his hands are neither fast nor slow.

Usyk is actually helped by the fact that hes not a puncher because a traditional puncher is easier to parry. They load up in a distinct pattern. Also both Joshua and Dubios have horrificly poor defence.

If only his hands were fast.

Thats called shoe shining. irrelevant to the discussion. How fast he throws punches is what we were discussing.

Shoe shining is when you stand square and throw flurries. He's in his boxing stance in some of those clips so you'd be wrong about that. It's called shadow boxing. You heard it from Dubois. His speed was an issue. You heard it from Mike Tyson. His speed was an issue for Joshua as well. Here are some other quotes from Mike just in case you missed them.

“It’s gonna be hard to beat Usyk because he's fast and he outpunched Joshua with his jab.”

“He’s too fast for Joshua.”
