It's strange but I can't recall any fighters other than Tyson jumping on Bruno straight away, surprising considering his vulnerability. Once Frank got settled and started establishing his jab he was a hard challenge for any fighter.
Tyson jumped on Bruno straight away because well, Tyson tended to jump on everyone straight away. I didn't get the impression that Bruno was particularly vulnerable early on. It seemed that was far more vulnerable later on in the fight when his muscle bound body got more tired.
Bruno gave Witherspoon, Tyson and Lewis life and death. I don't think Briggs would bother them anywhere near as much. Shannon certainly did not bother Lewis anywhere near as much as Bruno did. Bruno slipped up against Bonecrusher but Briggs lost to Darroll Wilson and Sedrick Feilds for Christ sake! This is not even close. I can see Briggs losing to Bonecrusher but I can't see Frank losing to Feilds, Wilson, Ibrogmanov, mcline or the white buffalo.
I think the word "great" was misplaced in his statement. But losing To James Smith and Tim Witherspoon ( in competitive fights ) is better than losing to Darroll Wilson and Sedrick Fields.
Fields and Wilson won't beat Bruno, yes:yep But Jameel McCline, Ibragimov and Botha would be competitive. Anyway, I can't see McCline taking every round against Frank Bruno, too.
