    Prime v prime...
    Bruno v Bowe.....
    Riddick surely the favourite, but maybe not as clear cut as would first seem ?
    Your thoughts gentlemen.

    Bruno definitely has a punchers chance in the first few rounds but the longer the fight goes the more likely it is that he falls apart after being nailed by something big from Bowe.

    Bowe. Bruno doesn't get him out of there, tires and gets beaten up in six or seven

    Bowe would be the clear favorite. Bruno would still have a puncher's chance.

    Bowe Favorite but he better be ready. Bruno was better than Golota.

    Bruno's best chances would be in 1996, despite he's 5 or 6 years older than Bowe. If they met in 1992-93, Bowe is the clear favourite, stops Bruno in the 2nd half of the fight.

    However, in 96' Bruno has pretty good chances to beat Bowe - he needs to use his jab and don't let Bowe to close the distance.

    Prime for prime,Bruno puts in a far better performance than most think,hurting Bowe several times in the early going. After the halfway mark,sadly,it's de ja vu. Frank gets caught and stopped on his feet.

    Bowe better come correct or he gets hurt in the 1st, and outjabbed, before turning it on.
    Bowe TKO 7. Bruno was no joke, one of the best jabs in the division and possibly top 10
    all time punching power. Bowe was too talented and too tough. Cool matchup though.
    Hows Bruno doing these days?
