    Prime Frank Bruno (who wobbled prime Tyson in round 1, but lost TKO5) against current David Haye (that TKO9'd Ruiz and TKO'd Harrison in 3)

    Bruno: 32-2. 31KO's (when fighting Tyson) Retired 40-5, 38KO's
    Haye: 25-1, 23KO's

    Who would win, and how?

    I think Bruno beats a lot of todays fighters . The Bruno that was level on two cards and ahead by 4 on the other against Lewis also beats Wlad. Bruno had a really punishing jab.

    To answer your question I think Frank would KO him, but if haye got through the first 7-8 rounds then Frank as always would tire.

    And an devastating left hook... I think he would have beaten Wlad also, not to sure about Vitali though, think he would have worn him out. (But that's for the next poll)
    Yes, figured that out too... the ()'s made it more clear what I meant.

    i think this match up is VERY hard to call.

    bruno is greatly underrated as a boxer. the only worry i have is obviously his chin, and his tendency to stop throwing punches, and let his movement go all over the place.

    i can see bruno completely outboxing gaye and possibly stopping him late, but equally it wouldnt be a huge surprise to see gaye managing to stop bruno on his tracks on the ropes at some point in the fight

    That Bruno would probably be undisputed champ right now.
    Vitali is the only tough challenge for him.
