    Haye to get the KO win between rounds 8-11, when Bruno gasses and slows down.

    The speed and reflex difference would be a major factor in this fight.

    Bruno would probably be ahead on points but then get clipped with a good shot mid to late rounds and freeze. Frank was like ' a dear in the headlights' whenever he got clipped good and proper. I was a big Bruno fan and thought he was great in his first fight with Tyson but fact is fact.

    Hey Mike, I appreciate your stance on this, but for me I still favor Bruno over Haye in this case.
    Bruno wasn't all that for sure, but you can't convince me Haye was any better. For me Haye was a very good Cruiserweight but his HW career left a lot to be desired. Wins over Valuev in a total stinker, over Audley in one of the worst HW titlefights in history (where Audley only was in because of clear WBA corruption) and over a washed up Ruiz who hadn't had a good win for years, doesn't give me a vote of confidence. It was the battle with Chisora which showed he had some grid, but Haye was overhyped over the moon... and I mean Jupiter's one.

    Maybe the dislike I always had for Haye's demeanor and the way I saw him as overhyped from the get go, knowing he wouldn't stand a chance against either of the Klitschko brothers and even rated him below a couple of their victims, colors my opinion towards the much more likable Frank Bruno... very possible.
    But looking at their body of work, style against big/top opposition, and difference in sorts of power (Haye = shock and awe, Bruno = clubbing) favors the latter in my book.

    By the way, didn't know you posted here.
    Usually you seem to be on the same page as me with your yt channel.

    And yes, I do hit the like button :thumbsup:

    Top 4 of Bruno's victories
    1-Oliver Mccall title fight
    2-Gerrie Coetzee
    3-Carl Williams
    4-Pierre Coetzer

    Although most of them had already passed their best time, they are good victories

    Haye would spark him. Too slippery & too explosive.

    It could go either way honestly. Bruno has more ways to win but it's hard to shake the image of Haye to exploding at some point catching the stiff Bruno with hard shots that put him on ***** street and probably out. I'll cautiously go with Haye with a come from behind KO here.

    Bruno by KO. Mid rounds .to fragile to cope with Franks poke ! Only world class HW could handle it . Haye ether runs or gets sparked.
