Did Evander Holyfield duck Frank Bruno??

I don’t ever recall a discussion being on the table and if you look at the time lines of their careers, peaks, and intermittent periods of absence ( which they both had ) their paths never really crossed

 

Why would Holyfield duck him? Frank had already challenged for the title a year before Holyfield won it. There was a very limited window in which they could've fought.

 

I cant see Holyfield ducking anybody

 

Holyfield would only have been interested in Bruno as a stepping stone and Frank wasn't available at that point. He was recovering from his challenge to Mike Tyson. Otherwise they were on entirely different paths.

 

I never heard that and I was following the scene pretty closely in those days. After losing to Tyson in 1989 Bruno didn’t return to the ring until 1991 and didn’t build himself back into contention until 1993 at which point holy was locked up with Bowe and Lennox best Frank. Not long after Evander left the sport and Frank lost in the final fight of his career to Tyson in 95. I don’t see where these guys career paths ever crossed

 

Would of been an interesting evening.Bruno hit hard and had an excellent jab but holly normally found a way to win .a similar night to the steward fight I think with Vander winning late after being stung a few times .

 

So he fought Bowe,Foreman,Tyson,Holmes,bert cooper,lennox Lewis, Ray Mercer,michael moorer but he ducked Frank Bruno.
yes makes a lot of sense

 

Yes, the Real Deal trembled if he even heard the name "" Bruno ""!

 

Holyfield never ducked anybody

 

Holyfield fought Lewis twice, Tyson twice, Bowe three times but the one guy he was too scared to take on was Frank Bruno...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

 

I can see no reason why he would.

 

Ducking someone wasnt in Holys DNA

 

When was he supposed to fight Bruno? Frank kept losing knocking himself down the rankings, Holy would have battered him, he was far more skilled and proven.
