    I can see Frank laid out for a 10 count around round 9....itd be a cagey even contest for 5-6 rounds...than norton starts to take over..bruno gasses and is put to sleep ...Frank was very very hard to put on the floor more likely he freezes standing Tyson and Lewis couldnt do it...but norton will

    Easy win for Norton, his overhand rights , would befuddle Bruno, not the fastest of thinkers, as always, Bruno gets hit hard, stiffens ( as always ) stays in the eye of the storm, takes loads more, then slowly crumbles, for the count.

    Oh dear. You cast your vote then you read the arguments. I'm not going to be a cop out and change my shout.
    Frank's got a chance here. If he landed early he would let his hots go and Norton was a notorious slow starter who could be got at by a puncher.
    At the risk of becoming a serious laughing stock, and because I won't change my vote, I'm going to say Bruno lands a very straight, big right in the second which stops Ken dead in his tracks then lets the kitchen sink go and gets a stoppage.

    Bruno never lost to a bum like a 188 pounds Jose Luis Garcia.Maybe Norton had 3 hard punching opponents
    Foreman(Ltko2),Shavers(Lko1) and Cooney (Ltko1) and this is incredible unimpressive.Considering these, i can imagine
    a hard punching Bruno ko1 or ko2 win.

    Witherspoon and Smith put Bruno on the floor as did Tyson in the rematch and he floored him in their first fight but Frank got back up.

    He`d have to come out fast to do that and Norton wa far harder to hit than anyone Frank stopped in 1-2 rounds, Bruno would start the fight jabbing methodically like he always did.

    I was talking about kayoing frank putting him down for a ten count...smith did it clean.......the others...Frank wasnt laid out lying on the canvas .....the witherspoon fight frank slumped in sheer exhaustion onto the ropes enfing up sitting on the rope crouching mind frizen...the tyson rematch same thing hes crouching sitting on the rope mind frozen...the lewis and first tyson fight he was frozen standing .....frank was hard to knock out where both mind and body were knocked out lying on the canvas....only bonecrusher did it ....even than frank got up at 13 only to collapse into his trainers embrace...

    I think norton might do it too

    It is a possibility.
    I think I'm going for Norton, by late stoppage. He is quicker than Frank and has enough power to make him circumspect about letting his shots go freely.
