    Bruno was a brutal puncher. Against Big Frank you'd have to hope you would weather the storm, with Chisora this is unlikely at best.

    50-50 fight. It would be very similar to the McCall fight. Bruno won a close decision and had nothing left at the end. 15 rounds and he'd have been KO'd. I'd definitely tip Haye to deal with Bruno.

    Mahn, isn't Bruno underrated these days, lol. Forget Chisora i think big Frank would beat Haye. Chisora would struggle with the likes of Horace Notice and Hughroy Currie, ffs. Have you guys seen the way the guy punches, looks like he's never been taught how to box before. Washerwoman!

    Has Chisora ever "destroyed" anyone?

    Haye would easily slip Bruno's jab and get round the lumbering Bruno. His style would be a nightmare for Bruno.

    Haye / Bruno is a more compelling fight. If Haye can slip Wlad for 12 he should be able to avoid Frank, but if Frank landed a big shot like Wlad did in rd6, would haye stay up?

    Who did Bruno destroy? :huh I don't think he ever faced a solid unbeaten contender. he certainly never took anyone's 0 off them.

    Yeah, but he was carefully matched. The only unbeaten guys he ever faced were Tyson in 89 and Lewis in 93, both KO losses. James Smith only had 14 contests and had been stopped. Witherspoon had two points losses. The rest had more red than the Kremlin.

    True. He was carefully matched. Reading OP it does say everyone below world level - which is patently not true of either Chisora or Bruno.

    Big Frank at least did some destruction compared to Chisora though.
