    Bruno, whenever he wants.

    Probably THE most underrated HW of the past 20-30 years.

    Quality jab, could hook off it, his right hand was very good also. His uppercut wasn't great but it wouldn't be a factor here.

    He also has (at worst) equal stamina to Haye. One can take the other's shots, but the reverse doesn't apply.

    Mason-Haye is a better fight.

    Gary Mason, a blast from the past...seem to remember, that Gary Newbon (ITV boxing) used to seem to have a soft spot for him, for some reason.

    Have to go with Frank,better boxer and better puncher.Also he is massive,a true heavy.The only hope Haye has is sticking it out for 8 rounds and hope Frank runs out of steam.I just cant see him being able to do that.

    Bruno by KO.

    Bruno had the better jab and power and he had a dynamite straight right.

    Haye obviously has the speed edge but i think Bruno would beat Haye by mid rounds ko.

    Ok, so he didn't flick his jab out from the waist whilst dancing around.

    Bruno's jab was a very potent weapon, it wasn't for show. With the exception of Tyson, it was effective against every opponent he faced.

    Bruno's jab may have not been to your liking, but that doesn't mean it wasn't quality.
