    My mistake on the reach part. Before his fight with Rahman, the tale of the tape said that Corrie had a 84 inch reach. And his arms do look pretty long even for a 6'4" guy. I think Rahman was a tad better than Bruno in his day, so I don't see Frank being able to weather that early Sanders onslaught.

  2. Corries best is better then Franks best..however...if we are assuming a real world situation then it becomes much less certain, because Sanders was more all over the place.

    Sanders beat a pre-prime Wlad. That is all.

    not saying he has a great resume or anything. but if nothing else they show he is capable of beating Bruno

    I don't think they do, Bruno is a level above. If Sanders was in Bruno's era he would be a journeyman.

    I wasn't comparing them like that. Bruno is better than anyone on his resume with the exception of Wlad.

    He had too much power and speed to be a journeyman.

    Theway bruno handled lewis for six rounds always impressed me.
    i believe brunos boxing skills prevail early and sanders gets stopped on his
    Feet in 5.

    Bruno did not handle Lewis , I watched it at least twice and never understood what d fuss was/is about , ppl like u make it seem as if Bruno was 30 sex away from knocking Lewis d fak out , but Lewis , in a journeyman's lucky shot , saved himself from that embarrassment .
    Enough with this ****
