Bruno v every opponent Norton lost to, could he have done better?

Bruno knocked out Frazier.

 

He is joking

 

Yeah I just got that when he tipped big Frank to KO Ali.

I’m slow on the uptake today. This self isolation has me struggling to interact with my fellow humans/boxing geeks.

 

That he did. Joes tougher bro Larry.

I’m Changing my pick. Bruno in 1

 

I didn't think you would catch that!

 

I didn't specify which version of Ali.....1989 Bruno would KO 1989 Ali

 

For Garcia read Bonecrusher Smith.

 

Even if we allow a little licence and look at relative career stages rather than straight ages, Frank has got problems here.
Garcia was on a good run when he beat Norton. The first opponent Bruno had whose career was on an upward trajectory was Bonecrusher Smith. It's 50/50 so I'll give Frank the benefit of the doubt.
Ali, Foreman and Holmes ? They may as well sew handles on Bruno's shorts !
By the time of the Shavers fight, Earnie would be older but if he performed against Bruno the way he did against Norton I think he would stop Frank.
Cooney is an interesting one. Frank usually did well against slower moving big guys. He clobbered Anders Eklund and the usually durable Mike Jameson. Cooney was better than both of those guys but not necessarily by miles. He had a huge left hook but his chin wasn't Kevlar. I'll give that to Frank by stoppage.

 

Joe was broke s usual. He'd blown all his money in Oz where he'd had a great set up with a vineyard but had somehow made a pig's ear of it. Eddie Hearn offered him £1M. Simples.

 

Bruno did knock out Frazier. Larry Frazier!
