    I seriously doubt Bruno lasts 12 rounds with prime Holyfield.

    It would be a stoppage, probably round 6-9.

    Holyfeild struggled with Holmes and Foreman. Their jabs and size bothered him. All went the distance. So did Alex Stewart and Micheal Moorer and Bean. Frank, the best version would proberbly see the last bell. Holyfeild wins though.

    Brunos jab would cause holyfield some problems , but holyfield would be too busy and he stops a tired bruno around the 10th with a big combo.
    Would be a tough fight for holyfield though and he certainly wouldn't have it all his own way.

    Holyfield would drown him with punches. The first time Stewart fought him, Stewart was stopped. Holmes and Foreman were just better than Bruno.
    Bruno was a panicker. Holyfield would have him reeling and Bruno would stop throwing punches and get very confused.
    Bruno might start out wll for a few rounds but Holyfield's about the worst possible opponent for him, as bad as Tyson.

    Holyfield KO. Bruno was a strong man with no balls.

    I don't think they were. Not when they fought holyfeild. Old Holmes and old man Foreman were salesmen by then, old stagers trading on past glorry, they offered nothing that would represent what a prime Bruno would bring with him against Holyfeild.

    I would expect Holyfeild to win against Frank,but it is a horrible match up for Evander. As a hard a fight as Evander ever came through.

    Evander wins but gets beat up in the process. Survives a beating to win on points.
