    Could've Britain's favourite son and True Brit Bruno become a heavyweight world champion in these decades if you delivered the best version of him into the time periods?
    1950's
    1960's
    1970's
    2000's
    2010's
    2020's

    With 4 shots at the title to make it work, he has a chance in any decade.

    Given the right opportunity, of course.

    We’ve had champions like Seldon and Martin.

    A guy like Dubois is no better.

    Frank could get DQ’d for rabbit punching in any decade.

    Scratch the 60's and 70's. He gets killed there. . 2000-- 2020 is his best shot.
    50's? is he too big for Charles, Walcott and Marciano? Probably not,,

    His power gives him a chance in any decade. 60s and 70s probably not 2000s much more likely

    Daniel hasn’t done anything in his career to show that he’s a LOT better.

    Who’s he beaten apart from the overrated Hgrovic and a faded AJ?

    No, he hasn’t shown far more ability.

    He’s a very basic fighter.

    He’s not on another level technically.

    They’re of the same calibre.

    He’s also quit 2-3 times.

    There’s not much between them at all.

    Frank Bruno has zero good wins

    Bad tank, less power, probably worse chin

    Dubois beat Miller, Hrgovic, Joshua by KO

    He is a 3x quitter though
