    Williams for all his natural ability always seemed to struggle and fought down to the level of his opponent. I could never see Bruno being outboxed by Julius Francis or struggle with guys like Mark Potter.

    Williams with his low left would be susceptible to Bruno's big right and would get stopped in the middle rounds.

    Bruno. Williams too hot and cold throughout his career. Bruno was what he was, usually very good, but not quite good enough.

    Bruno pounds his jab against the fat Williams en route to a mid-round stoppage

    Williams at his very best actually has a chance...

    But if any fighter is psychologically weaker than the Bomber, then it is Danny Williams.

    Bruno in two; but if Danny can survive the first five rounds, I would take him to win late at his peak.

    Bruno by late ko, Williams was a level below him.

    Bruno, clearly, as tough as Williams was he was not on Franks level.

    Late stoppage for Bruno in a fight that has its moments, but which Williams struggles to get past Brunos jab.

    Bruno and late stoppage win, seems a bit of an oxymoron...

    Bruno would beat him up, possibly KO him inside 1 or 2, possibly club him around for 7 or 8 rounds, like he did with Reggie Gross or Joe Bugner.
    It would be so one-sided.

    Williams is nowhere near the level of Bruno. And Bruno was no world-beater.

    I think Williams would be better matched with the likes of Hughroy Currie, Derek Williams, maybe Horace Notice. Although I still wouldn't expect him to win.

    Williams wouldn't last 2 rounds with the Bruno who fought Tyson in '89.

    Bruno would have the beating of Williams. Too good.
