    Well I'm pretty sure Bruno would be hulking compared to Frazier so no the mind thing is over played. Its almost like people are going to think everyone's knees buckle by the mere thought of fighting the mythical 70's guys? Lol

    You also are ignoring trajectory of punches and are assuming a 5'11 guy with short reach will duplicate what much taller outside fighters did.

    Doing the match itself is not so clear cut. People will pick Frazier with no actual reasoning behind it other than assuming Bruno runs out of stamina and also forgetting Frazier's chin actually has to hold up to do that.

    I was coming here expecting an analysis of Why Frank Bruno beats Joe Frazier.

    Instead I get this trolly click bait.

    Frank Bruno only has one world level win on his resume, a post mental breakdown Oliver McCall. That win was a life and death struggle as Bruno gassed in the last 3 rounds and was hanging on for dear life.

    I get and understand your point and I'm not saying that Bruno couldn't win or didn't have the tools to win, just that he would need to do other than what he normally does. And I'm not one to think that the 70's guys beat everyone at all times. Most folks would say Ali would beat Lennox Lewis, I actually think that more often than not, Lewis would win. I'd even pick Tyson circa 1986-1991 to beat a 70's George Foreman. I just think that the way Bruno used to fight would allow him to be picked apart by Frazier.
