    Good Lord. The face first Welshman would never gotten beyond Frank's canon jab and the athleticism gap is just astonishing.

    Anthony Joshua is a confident pick.

    Haye doesn’t have the legacy or wins at HW to be a confident pick.

    Agree with Seamus, Bob's a legend but he'd be battered here.
    Fitz doesn't get a chance to hit Frank (in the slats)

    Joshua and Haye would beat Bruno and it wouldn't be a surprise, Bruno was tough and is considered better than he was because he fought in a tough era...

    Bruno was never stopped by a morbid obese Taco salesman who never won a meaningful fight before or after..............and never claimed his toe hurt while running for his life in 12 rounds.

    Bruno/Bodybuilder is 50/50....................Bruno stops Heavyweight fraud Haye.

    No, Hide was able to muck Bowe for a few rounds in their match and Bowe through far quicker combos than Frank, I think Hide`s mobility and speed would have been a problem.

    Athleticism? Bruno`s hands had okay speed, but he couldn`t slip punches and his movement was plodding.

    When did any Bruno fight against a ranked contender, ever start with reality?
