    I pasted this title from Quora, but the original question was about a young Foreman V Bruno which I thought wa a stupid question but it got me thinking if Frank would beaten the older version of Foreman, who would have won this battle of the punchers?

    Heavyweights aren't my best division. I'll give it a try.

    I think Foreman scores a set up KO around round 8-10 after being busted up by Bruno and losing basically every round.

    Two huge guys with big power and ram rod jabs .Frank was massive when he stopped the truth in 93 all muscles .I don't think Foreman would be KOed but might get busted up and stopped with a face like the Stewart fight.Bruno might get hurt and stopped by a power punch from George.I doubt forman would take the fight too risky .

    Bruno was awful against Williams who Morrison dealt with far easier.

    I see a similar conclusion to Foreman-Moorer in 1994. Bruno has the power and long range jab to befuddle Foreman. Only problem with Frank is his stamina, and Old George paced himself fairly well during his comeback.

    I would pick Bruno to lump Foreman's face up like Alex Stewart did but something tells me he gets caught near the end.

    Foreman TKO 10 Bruno

    Edit: if there ever were a rematch, Bruno wins every time after their initial bout.

    Really? Foreman would kill Bruno, inside 1 or 2 rds. Any version of Foreman would kill Bruno

    Bruno is better than Alex Stewart and possibly Tommy Morrison. Foreman killed a comatose Gerry Cooney inside of 2 and that's the only name in his comeback he beat that early.

    Bruno should be the favorite here. And nobody kills Bruno under 2 rounds.

    Carl Williams? Morrison was behind on points and suffered 2 knockdowns before rallying late with a left hook (which happens to be The Turth's kryptonite). While the Bruno fight was competitive, Bruno was never in trouble of being knocked down.

    Would have been a damn good fight, but Bruno was soft, and had stamina issues..
    I pick George by 8 round KO

    Bruno didn`t have the offensive skills that Moorer had.

    Williams was a sucker for the left hook and Bruno landed very few of those against him.

    There were a number of heavyweight champs that would have destroyed Frank in 2. Stewart took more punishment v Holy than Bruno could have and Tommy`s offensive skillset and speed was far better than Bruno`s, his hook was faster than any punch Frank ever threw.
