Could Frank Bruno have held on to the WBC title if he hadn't faced Tyson?

Holyfield got knocked out by Bowe in 1995. And Holyfield was training for Czyz when Bruno defended against Tyson. Holyfield didn't look great against Czyz either.

Evander probably wins. But Bruno defending against Evander would've been a fun fight. What was there not to like in that matchup? Probably would've slugged it out like Bruno-Lewis. That was fun, too.

 

Bingo

 

It wasn’t entirely convincing though, and Bruno was better than Chisora.

 

I'm not so sure he is tougher than Bruno.
No one sparked Bruno with one punch and he was in there with some big hitters.
So it would be best not to jab?

 

I don’t know about Lewis mate, I think he gets wiped out easier in a rematch

 

You didn’t need to spark frank, once hurt he was lost, 9/10 he’ll be on his feet getting stopped by a ref intervention

 

Mark, one guy can be a favorite and it could still be a good fight.

I think Holyfield would beat Bruno, too. I'd still liked to have watched it. They both delivered exciting fights.

 

Like in the 1st few seconds against Tyson when he was decked then fought back to hurt Tyson?
There is a little bit of cliched stuff about Bruno which isn’t entirely true.

 

He took big shots all the through.
He didn’t just fold the first time he was tagged, like has been said, he tended to gas, but all those fights he lost bar the second Tyson fight were competitive.
