Frank was strong, but he didn't have a great chin for a guy with that much muscle. He didn't have a Bruce Seldon chin, but it was not strong. I think George eventually breaks him down and stops him late. The old George. The young George maybe round 3.
A 1970's Foreman beats Frank Bruno, but its probably not as bad of a fight as some might think. Frank showed balls against big punchers, was always in great shape and could dish out plenty of his own punishment. The 1990's rendition of Foreman would still likely be favored, but I have my hesitations. Alex Stewart certainly gave him all he could handle and I think Bruno tops Alex in just about every department including durability.... In either scenario, I think it would be interesting.
yeah this young foreman would flat out steam roller foreman who would be badly intimidated by young George old George may well get a little swelling from Bruno's jab but he still wins by heavy ko
Bruno was always a bit too stiff and upright for my liking, I remember Bone crusher and Witherspoon catching with the same shots overhand rights....Foreman finds the target and does the same quicker
Old George,after being substantially behind on points,stops a tired Bruno in the latter stages of the fight. Young George blasts Bruno out within five rounds. Too much firepower. Frank may stun George a couple of times beforehand.
It was noticeable that when George Ko'd Gerry Cooney...despite being asexpected, slow of foot, his hands whilst heavy..were also accurate, his finishing punch - on the turn- was a beauty, Allied to Franks propensity to "Go Rigid" when caught...it does not bode well for Frank, Frank was a Slow-thinker in the ring, George a natural Predator and finisher... Houston..we do not have a Problem...
70s Foreman would KO Bruno within 5. Foreman might get rocked himself, and would eat plenty of jabs. Bruno could outbox 90s Foreman If he was smart. Bruno had the jab, straight punches, and power to outbox 90s George. However if Bruno got careless or playful for one second like he did in the Lewis fight, he gets stopped by big George.
Yes he had stamina problems but for me when he tired it wasnt so much his stamina that was the problem ,it was his natural instincts .......when he was tiring and got hit with a good one ,he had no instincts to cover up or hold or even really defend himself he just sorta froze up ,and was defenseless so wasnt able to survive . I might be wrong but I dont remember any of Brunos matches going the distance he either knocked his opponent out or was knocked out
