    No contest... Bruno was too big and powerful for Danny, and although chinny himself I think he takes care of him pretty easily without any trouble.

    Bruno in his prime was 224-230lbs. NOT 'too big'.

    Also Bruno was NOT 'chinny'...lhe acked defence and reflexes yes, stiff as a plank, yes, too flush bombs as a result, yes, but NOT chinny. This yet another Boxing Myth.

    Were you around when Bruno was fighting?

    Feel that Bruno is a decent match up for anyone really. He had early success in fights against ATG fighters in Lewis and Tyson before ultimately being outclassed. Then we have Danny Williams. A guy dominated by fighters 12 rungs below the company Bruno kept in the 90s.

    Yes said it myself for years not chinny but just didn't know how to react hold,take a knee if needed.

    What he had more so than power which he had plenty of was a ramrod jab that gets forgotten also Len :good

    And they both carried one punch ko power so no disgrace in getting stopped by them.
    Bruno may not have been a great but he was no journeyman either and in the present era could be a champ and would beat most if not all present heavies with wlad being the only one who would beat him maybe.
    Maybe big frank gets underrated because of his outside the ring persona ie pantomine etc.
    But i believe he had a rough upbringing and had a few run ins when younger and was a fighter so dont be fooled into thinking he didnt have a fighters heart

    Forget about the pantomimes and the "No wot a mean, 'arry", Wayne mate. Big, lovable Frank was a beast in the ring.. And if he got you going he was a ruthless bastad. And he had a huge heart!!

    The problem with Frank was, he was so muscular that he would invariably tire dramatically in the later rounds (Smith and Witherspoon exected their plans perfectly, but Frank was winning those fights) and as many have said, Frank could take a shot, but never really mastered the art of riding out a ring crisis.

    He would have destroyed Danny (who is a great fella btw) in quick time.

    Audley took prime Danny out in 3...and Bruno was literally thrice the fighter Audley ever was.

    Well lets just take one step at a time..

    We've established it doesn't matter if a fighter didn't win the lonsdale but won the more prestigious Euro..


    Audley is the same fighter if he won European/Commonwealth/British triple crown.

    :lol:

    Based on my (admittedly limited) knowledge of you, may I ask if people you meet ever consider you to be weird?

    You are at times entertaining, but there is beginning to form a compelling case for people to consider you to be the Marylin Manson of ESB Forums!!
