    Evanda Holyfield V Frank Bruno - primes

    Would big Frank stand any chance at all in this one...

    Does Holyfield KO him or work to a points victory?

    I don't think so.

    Holyfield would take him late.

    Bruno would have a punchers chance but Holyfield had a good chin. I'd take Holy to stop Bruno sometime after the 6 round when Frank started to tire.

    I think this would have been a competative fight while it lasted, but Holyfield stops him late.

    I think thats pretty much it.

    While Frank would do well early with his piston jab when he starts to flag late on... and he always did... he'd be in trouble.

    Evan Fields by late TKO.

    Much the same thoughts here. Frank would put up a good fight, maybe even have Evander shaken up at some point, but you'd just always feel that Holyfield would get to him in the end.

    good match up, bruno has some early success but holy gradually wears him down to win by late stoppage around the 9th or 10th round!!!!!

    Bruno has a decent chance. Although Holyfield had a very good chin, Bruno is a guy that once rocked the unrockable Oliver McCall. He has a huge punch, and a decent jab. That said, Holyfield is too good, I take him by UD or late TKO after controlling the fight.

    Bruno would have a very good chance. He would be too big and strong for Evander.

    Evander would be the huge favourate but he could slip up and against bigger men did get outmuscled at times. Brunos jab may take the early going away from Evander too and if he lands 1 of those brutal rights may put Holyfield in a shell.

    I voted 10%, Evander should take out Bruno late after Bruno has good early going and should have too much skill and all round game
