    As much as I like Bruno, I'm going with Wlad. Klitschko's skills surpass that of Frank's and he may also have been the largest fighter that Bruno ever faced. In addition, while Frank had a good jab and deadly right, I don't think he had much in the way of a left hook which is Wlad's biggest weakness.

    I'd go with the giant Quartey slightly more often than not.

    Bruno could certainly take Wlad out, his jab itself would also cause Wladdy problems, this really is a fight that could go either way

    Check out the first round of the 1989 Tyson-Bruno bout.

    Been years since I've seen it but maybe I'll look again. I don't think this was his signature punch though.

    Yeah, Bruno did a heck of a job of holding and then unloading countless shots to the side of Tyson's head when he was defenseless :roll: And he still didn't come close to seriously hurting him.

    Bruno should of been disqualified in the first round.

    As for the matchup, Bruno is a bad, bad matchup for Wlad. I'm gonna pick Wlad by KO 10, but Bruno has a shot.

    Oh yeah,

    Now I remember. Bruno did his famous " rabbit punching trick ". Thanks Muchmore. I was going to review the tape, but figured I'd let my old VHS tapes get even dustier. The picture quality sucks anyway :good

    Hmm.... I though Bruno buckled Tyson's legs in the first round with a left hook rather than with a right hand.The youtube video is a bit inconclusive.

    I like Bruno in this one. Both are chinny, but Frank has a very good jab and excellent power. He gave Lennox a difficult fight with his jab, but couldn't really outmuscle him. I think he would have been safer going on the attack with Klitschko. There's always the chance that Wlad outboxes him though.

    Tyson got staggered by ONE left hook....Big deal... That punch was also set up by a right hand, then followed by a right missed by Tyson off balance.... The left was not a signature shot of Bruno's..... This is not evidence of a potential tool to be used against Wladimir Klitschko..
