    Both fighters relied on their long reaches and power to win fights, which fighter would have won this won had they met after Lewis beat Akinwande and Frank lost to Tyson in `96? Would thee have been a lot of clinching?

    Akinwande would probably have crushed most of Franks toes by the time the ref had disqualified him.

    A lot of clinches imo, before Bruno stopped him in around 6

    Akinwande was a power puncher?

    I actually think this could be a decent fight... If Henry gets his jab going it could cause problems for Frank... Henry gets lots of spite from the Lewis fight.. but I think he was a good fighter.. but boring at times

    Bruno wins.

    Whether it be via UD, KO, DQ is unknown. But he wins.

    He seemed to hurt Lennox a little and the ref Mills Lane said Akinwande could punch which was why he was surprised he didn`t try to fight back.

    Damn Good Matchup! I think Akinwande stops him late.

    Bruno wins (Akinwande either gets stopped or disqualified).
