    I agree, to be Fank (pardon the pun) if he came back now I'd bet on him winning the title.

    He is massively underated IMO.

    Bruno had a better jab than both Klitschos and a massive punch, in this era he would be undisputed WC.

    Bruno was a very good boxer.

    Now? Realy you know he is like 53 former drug addict and been out of ring since 1996, also had eye problems and was lucky to get second Tyson fight. What title you are tinking about some UBO or sh!te like that? No way you think that he could win even WBF belt at this stage!

    He would be good in first couple rounds as allways and then fold like he allways did even in McCall fight he was lucky to survive he hugged so much in final rounds!

    He lost every time he stepped up except for McCall fight and Oliver wasn't nearly as skilled as K2 or haye! (BTW also a former drug addict)

    This is the same Bruno who couldn't get a fight sanctioned against Audley ****ing Harrison some 10 plus years ago but he destroys everybody in the division now? Talk about being deluded. Even Frank going through one of his current 'mania phases' wouldn't come up with such wild ideas.

    Bruno in his prime would be the next in line behind vitali & wlad. Much better than what's around today for the most part.
