    The previous thread about Brunos legacy had me thinking how he`d do against todays champions.I think he`s beat Vlad anyone agree?

    Wlad should be the favorite, but you never know with Wlad and Bruno is big enough to cause an upset here. Vitaly would surely beat Bruno - mentally better, much faster and better technique.

    He would beat both of them, in a doughnut eating contest.

    He'd KO WALDO without a doubt, he hit harder, was a better boxer and had a better chin too.

    VITLAY would be a toss up as to what happened first - Bruno running out of gas or VITLAY quitting. My money would be on the latter outcome.

    bruno had a punchers chance as he could hit!!! would have been dangerous first 6 rounds, after that he would have run out of steam, i think he may have beat wlad but not vitali

    Wladimir is a much better boxer than Bruno ever was. Wlad has better technique, footwork, jab, power & he has a better chin.

    Vitali? Are you kidding me? :rofl Barring some freak injury I don't think Bruno lasts longer than 5 rounds.

    I give Bruno a chance against Wlad, but Prime for Prime Wlad is superior in my opinion. A Prime Vitaly would likely never be in serious danger before stopping Bruno somewhere past the 6th round. (after he played with him for a bit and tired him out)

    Absolute nonsense in every way. Prime Bruno lasted 5 rounds with prime Tyson, that's 4 more rounds than WALDO would have lasted, it would have been deer in the headlights time had WALDO met that version of Tyson. WALDO also does not have a better jab than Bruno, not in a million years, and definately not better power or chin.

    As for VITLAY, he seems to have become an unbeatable boxing god on the strength of beating up 40 year old Sanders and extremely limited PETERS. Let's not forget he lost and got humiliated by 37 year old Lewis here, Bruno was far more competitive against a far better version of Lewis than VITLAY fought so forget that "are you kidding" ****. Bruno would give VITLAY a tought fight, and we all know what happens when VITLAY gets into a tough fight - he either quits or gets the doctor to quit on his behalf :yep

    I enjoyed watching Frank Bruno fight but I wouldn't pick him against either Klitschko.
    He definitely had the power to KO Wlad but chances are Wlad would outbox him over the first half of the fight and avoid the big punch before TKO'ing a tired Bruno late. Wouldn't be a walk over by any stretch and I wouldn't be shocked by a Bruno win either.
    Vitali would be far more aggressive than Wlad and Ko Bruno in 5 or 6 rounds.

    Tyson wasn't prime against Bruno in their first fight. Take a look at the tape, he was out of shape which was evident in the lack of muscle definition and was also reported to be so widely in the press preceeding the match. Also that was the first fight in which he showed no head movement and until the final round failed to put together any combinations.


    It was his first contest without Kevin Rooney and it really showed in his performance.

    The decline was nicely covered in his next match when Carl Williams lack of punch resistance played it's part in making Mike look still undefeatable.

    In fact in an interview with Boxing Monthly when in preparation for his career defining match with Tyson, ehich came next, Buster Douglas stated "If Bruno had any balls he'd be champ right now"

    Vitali has never seen a jab like Bruno's, unless you count an undertrained, inactive for a year Lummox, who beat Shitali.

    Bruno beats Shitali, but Wlad would probably stop Bruno.

    Bruno would have a chance against both, but stamina would be an issue. Especially against Vitali, who is much more aggressive.

    Picks......

    Wlad TKO Bruno 11 - Wlad down twice
    Vitali KO Bruno 7
