    Danny Williams, David Haye, Audley Harrison, and Matt Skelton.

    Thoughts on each?

    With Harrison's glass jaw, it's doubtful he lasts more than a round or two with Bruno.

    The jury's still out on Haye at HW, but based on his work at cruiser I'd give him probably the best shot against Big Frank.

    With Williams, it depends on how he comes in. In shape, I'd say a fight between him and Bruno is a war, in which Danny ultimately prevails by late KO

    Bruno decisions the limited Skelton easily, or maybe stops him late.

    I'm undecided so far on Haye, so I'll leave that one alone.

    But the others - Harrison, Williams, Skelton - BRUNO WOULD DESTROY THEM.

    WTF bruno destroys williams and ko's skelton as well and harrison gets ktfo with a jab, as bruno had one of the best and hrdest jabs ive ever seen.

    As for haye still not sure on that one.

    Could you honestly imagine williams or skelton give lewis hell for 6 rounds ? or be beating up witherspoon a mile ahead on score cards before getting caught ?

    Don't underate bruno he only lost to the very best, unlike williams who got ktfo by fat sam, beaten by sprott andd skelton.:deal

    Yeah, Danny Williams beating Frank Bruno is a ludricrous suggestion !
    Bruno would batter him.

    Danny Williams would get beaten by Gary Mason too.
    Williams is more on the level of Hughroy Currie, Derek Williams.

    Bruno v Harrison- Frank wins by 2nd round ko.

    Bruno v Williams- Bruno by stoppage, probably around the 7th.

    Bruno v Skelton- Tough fight for old frank, as his stamina was awful and Skelton can wear people out with his size and strength. I think Frank would prevail with a UD but he'd have to work for it.

    I don't want to comment on Haye, as we haven't seen enough of him at heavy.

    Bruno destroys Fraudley, and Williams. Haye could beat Bruno but we havent seen him fight a big HW yet. Skelton might KO Bruno yet due to his terrible stamina and Skelton isn't going anywhere.

    He would destroy all of them except perhaps David Haye (watch this space).

    Bruno is better than all of them. I am he saying he would go 4-0, but 4-0 or 3-1 is likely. 2-2 at the very worst.

    Bruno had some stamina, and confidence problems. He could be taken out by big hitters.

    As of right now, I'd rank them thusly:

    #1 Bruno
    #2 Williams
    #3 Skelton
    #4 Haye
    #5 Harrison

    I guarantee that Haye will prove himself better thabn Williams or Skelton whether or not his run at a title is sucesful.

    It will be a mere formality.

    I don't know. I think Haye has questionable stamina, and adding weight will not help him here. In additon, I think he lacks durability which means a lot at heavyweight. I am mostly sold on Haye's offense. At this point, I think its best to wait and see on Haye.

    Why not win a few matches like Holyfield did when he moved up? That would prove it. Fights vs the Skelton's and Harrisons' of the world will get Haye going, but they also might get him exposed before his managment cashes out on a big pay day.

    I suspect Haye is hiding something. He turned down a 500k offer to fight Skelton, and wants to go right to a championship fight.
