Frank Bruno vs Evander Holyfield

One more thing .....

Prime Holyfield would kill 'im.

 

I don't know. Lord Bruno looked pretty invincible beating fresh PRIME versions of Gerrie Coetzee and James Tillis.

 

Hey, Bruno was talented but he's no all time great. I always said that. I can name tens of heavyweights who would have beat him. All my irrational sticking up for Frank is just in effort for the man to be given credit I feel he deserves because I feel there has been disproportionate dismissing of Frank for giving great fighters tough fights whilst lesser men got more of a break from history.

Holmes crucifies Bruno. Too much class. Tyson, well you know what happened there. Even page on a good night is all wrong for Frank. Bowe too. Holyfeild absolutely beats Frank. I have never said otherwise. Champions who could fight and punch in late fights kill bruno. The Tony Tubbs's, the Michael Moorers, Tony tuckers, Bruce seldons, Dokes's however are another subject.

However I am reminded of the greatest match maker in boxing...comeback George Foreman who was able to select men who suited him had Frank had that kind of luxury he would he higher thought of.

 

Come on magoo I never said that! Coetzee was ripe but statistically better than the ex champs Tyson defended against and in many ways no worse.

 

I know you didn't but sarcasm is still fun once in a while

 

Holyfield had strength and the skills, and he looks the more comfortable fighter in the ring against top opponents.

Holyfield would beat Bruno to a stoppage in the later rounds.

 

AS long as his ass points downwards dear old Frank ain't NEVER going to beat Holyfield.

 

Holyfield rarely knocked out anyone early. Bruno's jab and physical strength would pose one or two problems early on for Holyfield and i see this being a similar scenario to Bruno/Lewis, whereby Frank dominates to begin with, only to tire and be stopped during the latter stages. Holyfield TKO9 Bruno.

 

Big Frank wasn't as bad as some people claim but there isn't really a way for him to beat Holyfield. I think Holyfield stops him around the 7th round.

 

Evander would win, but he would have to use his jab and fight technical. Frank could punch.

 

Frank would probably look good in spells, but would get stopped mid way through the fight. Holyfield was too quick and would tee off on him. Bruno should have beat Witherspoon and Bonecrusher, those losses were a shame.

 

Alex Stewart gave holy a tough fight and I rate Bruno as more Dangerous than Alex. Holy would win most encounters with frank but sometimes vander seemed to.have off nights the Cooper fight Holmes and Moorer If he met frank on one of those nights then possibly Bruno could take him out .great fight whatever happens.

 

I honestly think Bruno, by the time he met Carl Williams, was as capable as Riddick Bowe ever was.

...And I don't rate Bowe too high in the scheme of things either.

Bruno is not in Bowe's class,if he had dedicated himself Bowe had the makings of a great champion and might have beaten Lewis.Bruno did dedicate himself, but he was never a great fighter and he didn't have it in him to become one.
