    Bruno was a good boxer, but he had questionable stamina and chin.
    But yes, the fight would have been exciting, that's for sure.

    Most likely, Evander by late stoppage in a crowd pleasing fight, like Witherspoon did vs Bruno.

    Yep i think it woulda been crowd pleasing and i agree with that outcome, with it being a Witherspoon type stoppage.

    I see Bruno running out of steam but i don't see Holyfield buzzing him like Tyson and Lewis.

    Bruno would certainly give Holyfield problems.

    You are RIGHT about Lenny Lewis And Wladdy Klit doing teh same sort of thing to score Knockdowns - BUT Lewis would ALWAYS have his man BADLY HURT, THEN push or shove them down, so they would of been down anyway in a second or so, But Lewis made it happen faster. Akinwande did NOT knockdown Lenny, cos he did not hurt him before teh push. It was JUST A PUSH. :deal:deal:deal

    Lewis was generally pushing a man away from him when they lost their legs and holding onto him was their only way of staying up.
