Vitali Klitschko vs Frank Bruno (Before the first fight with Tyson) who wins?

I think Vitali would club a prime Bruno into submission in the later rounds simply by ways of his strong stamina and punch output. The first couple of rounds could be competitive though, Bruno was a technically sound boxer.

 

Bruno had no Chin, no stamina, and was mentally fragile. Klitschko would knock him out.

 

Of his own size?!Bruno was 6.3 x 230, smaller at least in height than even Arreola

 

Are we talking about Frank Bruno? He was a solid 250 pounds, 6'7 - 6'8. He was taller than Lennox Lewis.

 

He really wasn't. And he wasn't teller than Lewis.

 

And VITLAY has?

Bruno did just as well against a prime Lewis as VITLAY did against an old Lewis, this wouldn't be an easy fight for either man. Make no mistake if Bruno connects then VITLAYS glass gets shattered.

 

bruno had a good chin, he just didnt know what to do when shaken

 

No, he didn't have a good chin. Have you seen the chicken dance vs. Jumbo Cummings? Fighters with solid chins don't do the chicken dance...

 

Hard to say what "would" happen. Bruno in his prime (not the Tyson version) was pretty quick, although seemingly a sucker for a 1-2 or overhand in the right moment. I'd say he gives Vitali trouble for the first half of the fight, and it would depend on how well Vitali smothers that, if he can take Bruno into the late rounds where he would get beat. It's the same **** to say Bruno has no chance, as it is to claim Frazier or another "super name of the past" (Bowe ?????) "would kill" him. Same ****, different toilet.

 

Klit on points or late stoppage. Would be a pretty rough dirty fight but Vitaly's superior stamina would just make the difference. Can see Vitaly taking quite a few left hands on the kisser though.

 

Looking at Vitali in his come back Bruno has a chance if he were to rush him. I was looking at Vitali during the Arreola fight and he hates pressure. Bruno was so muscle bound that he couldn't keep up that pace, but he has more of a punchers chance to me than Arreola. I'd go with Vitali for the win.

 

VITLAY did the chicken dance against both Lewis and Sanders. That makes this a 50-50 fight then.

Seriously, Bruno went toe to toe with close to prime Tyson for 5 rounds and was stopped on his feet. In 5 rounds that version of Tyson would have had both Klitschkos down for the count, and still had time to watch the replays in his dressing room.

 

Agreed. His survival instincts weren't great, but there is nothing wrong with his chin. I think Bruno does okay here. His jab would give Vitali problems imo. That said, he didn't have the best stamina and was a bit too plodding.
Klitschko by late stoppage or decision, but not before he's faced some fire.

 

Vitali is a great fighter, Bruno seemed to be a great guy but not a great fighter.

Vitaly stops him in 10.

People, dont want to give the Klits any kind of respect or ratings. But these brothers are competitive in any era I dont care how boring people think they are. They are both intelligent and talented boxers. Two greats of the sport.

It does show though that Mayweather could fight everyone but he still wouldnt get everyones respect. Because, the Klits take on all comers and are DOMINANT and they still have a bunch of haters.

You'd think they were going life and limb with the bums in the division. That they def aint

 

Agreed, Brunos chin was way underrated, as was his jab. I never saw Bruno out-boxed in a fight apart from the Tyson fights - Tysons style was all wrong for big Frank but in his other losses he was ahead every time, so he really only has 2 losses on his record. The other 3 losses he actually won the event, so he'd beat VITLAY, who has only 1 'event' win on his resume.
