Maybe some extremely talented guy in the future in a lab pumped full of every PED known to man could "convincingly beat" 67 Ali, but I doubt there...
I wasn't ruling out Peter stopping Bruno, just saying I wouldn't bet on it because of how sloppy he was and that Bruno could cling onto people...
I'm surprised that I spelled it out for you in plain English and provided the context to the conversation you jumped into and then you insisted on...
Bruno got better at surviving as his career continued. Tyson had him in trouble at numerous points and he survived by holding and clinching. I...
Yes he tried for years to get the rematch with Ali. Foreman was the NABF champion and technically Ali's mandatory so it was actually Ali ducking....
I said he was very good at holding on while attempting to survive, not that he was good at surviving being hurt in general. He frustrated Tyson...
I brought up Bruno to point out that even B level belt holders like him would do well against Vitali's opponents.
This is actually a good point. I do find it hilarious how they have selective outrage when it comes to seeking out rematches. If you want to...
That has nothing to do with the thread.
Even an old Bruno still had a good high guard, good jab, fundamentals, etc. He looked good in his last fight. Bruno might actually survive the...
Fair enough.
Foreman, Holmes, and Louis were older than dinosaur fossils for several of the losses you're criticizing them for not avenging. Vitali was in his...
Like...who? Bruno wasn't that durable, but there aren't that many Vitali opponents he'd be in danger of losing by KO to other than Peter, Briggs,...
Two of the most overrated boxers on the forum. Tua should logically get the benefit of the doubt with his superior hand speed, technique, ability,...
I understand how that works. Bruno is more well rounded, but Vitali is more likely to win due to styles and what he brings to the table...
Some people act as if Vitali won every round and was effortlessly schooling Byrd with his eyes closed. They forget we have footage of the fight. :lol:
Not exactly. Bruno has a WAY better jab, better uppercut, better defense, better body shots. Better combination puncher. Vitali was actually a...
Outside of the obvious like Byrd and Lewis, the only guys I could see causing an upset to Bruno would be Peter or Sanders and I'd still favor him...
That was my point. Vitali's opposition is so mediocre I could see Frank Bruno going undefeated against the vast majority of them.
Do you think Bruno would struggle with Vitali's opponents, yes or no? Bruno lost to guys like a prime Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis, he wasn't...
He really isn't that much better than Bruno in terms of ability. He had a more successful career overall and was more dominant, but Bruno would...
He is both overrated and underrated due to things that were his fault and things that weren't his fault. His injuries that sidelined him for...
Honestly, this is a good point and it has nothing to do with nostalgia. Bugner and Mathis were just as good if not better than some of the large...
Lyle of the Shavers fight vs Ruddock of the Smith fight would be one of the craziest battles in history. Really a coin toss.
Joyce is a guy who hasn't achieved that much, but he may have a high ceiling. Mercer is a guy who had every opportunity to achieve a lot, but...
