Prime Bruno would be the best fighter Wlad has faced, I think Bruno would knock him out inside 8 rounds.
Complete bull****. The current version of Wlad would beat Sanders. On top of Wlad's horrible underestimating his opponent, Sanders had great footspeed to chase the confused Wlad around the ring. bruno had no speed at all and Wlad can move very well for a HW.
That wouldn't surprise me at all. It also wouldn't surprise me if either man gets stopped late as they both have suspect stamina. No way on earth would Bruno get stopped early in this though, I don't buy into this bull**** about WALDO being the greatest just because he keeps stubby armed midgets on the end of a jab for 10 rounds :roll:
They both have the tools to beat each other. I am going to lean toward Wlad. Wlad's got his confidence back, he's on a roll. This would put some doubt in big Frank's head. Causing him to give too much respect (think his attitude in Bruno vs Tyson 2) If they fought a few years ago, Bruno would have the edge, because Klitschko was the one who had his confidence down, which would embolden Bruno and cause him to look for the quick KO.
Sanders had great foot-speed? Amazing how great Sanders became after that 1 win, before that he was an average contender :rofl WALDO wouldn't beat Sanders now either, he'd get blown away every single time they fought, because Sanders would always land, and WALDO doesn't have a chin.
Waldo (for all his faults) is head and shoulders above Bruno. And I am British, just not a biased Brit.
The suggestion being that anyone who picks Bruno is a biased Brit? :think Wlad's jab could cause Bruno all kinds of trouble, but not as much trouble as Bruno's punch would cause Wlad questionable chin. Bruno, in spurts, did good against a lot better fighters than Wlad, an early Bruno KO would not be an unrealistic or biased suggestion.
I'd give the Bruno who fought Lewis the edge over Wlad, not by much though. That being said, either man could easily stop the other.
Wlad didn't even remember Sanders was a southpaw when the fight started. He was busy with promotion instead of training. The current version of Wlad is incredibly effective at controlling range, no way Sanders could blitz him. Sanders was not great, he just had a dangerous speed and power combination and was a real underachiever. He did chase Wlad on very quick feet, so yes, he had footspeed Bruno can only dream about.
Klitschko TKO 6 Bruno with Bruno losing every round and without landing a meaningful punch. Who the **** is Bruno?
Rahman's KO win over Sanders is one good indicator that he is indeed better than Sanders. Plus he's got that win over Lewis, a win over Tua... much more than Sanders has. And yeah, McCall is better than Brewster. But that's just my opinion based on me having eyes.
Sanders was the first guy to stop Al Cole as well. He dumped Rahman on his butt too before being TKO'd later in the fight due to lack of stamina.
