    I'm backing my man Bruno here.

    Bowe is too hittable and if you let Bruno tee off on you it's good night Vienna.

    Peak Bruno from 85, 87-88,91-92 and 94-95 was unbeatable.

    So hard to find matchups where you can confidently pick Frank Bruno, this ain't one either, Frank has a few good moments before he gets TKO'ed.

    In the years I mentioned Bruno was undefeated, knocked out pretty much everyone he fought and became champion of the world.

    Reminds me of interview with Tony Tucker which I read few years back, he explained he had personal problems in each of his losses lol. Nothing against Tucker, a great fighter in his prime but that interview was just funny.
