    Bruno turns pro on January 1, 1935. He's still the same as he was in the 80s and 90s. How does he do? Is Joe Louis never heard of?

    He beats most, but not Louis or Walcott.

    He should be able to control the pace and outjab Baer and therefore not gas, similar to the McCall performance, but Baer is always dangerous.

    If he can knock them out early then great.
    But if they stick around and take Bruno deep, then he'll struggle.

    Galento would be a dangerous opponent

    I can't see Frankie losing to big Tony.

    Is it harder to rabbit punch after you’ve been thumbed in the eye, or harder to thumb someone in the eye after you’ve been rabbit punched?

    The eternal question would be answered here.
