As for prime Bugner vs prime Bruno, I tentatively lean toward Bruno, if only because he was the more aggressive fighter. Bugner tended to retreat into his defensive a little too much.

Regardless of who won, I believe it would go the distances.

In a fifteen rounder,I definitely see Joe outlasting Frank.
