    Bruno by ko no way the pikeys chin stands up to the right hand.
    This generation of heavies are garbage, as bad as frank was he had good power and could land on anyone his biggest problem was his stamina and lack of holding or knowing what to do when he gets hurt, still a hell of a lot better than 99% of heavies today.

    Both are Glass Jawed and Bruno had no stamina and was mentally weak. It is a pick em type fight.

    Bruno was sh!t.
    But I suspect he'd beat the sh!t out of Fury. Probably.

    Fury has yet to demonstrate the kind of chin necessary to deal with Bruno.
    Tyson is the more fluid boxer in fairness, but he gives up his height too much and lacks some defensive skills.
    I see Bruno cracking that chin.

    It's not a conundrum I didn't say he had devastating 1 punch atg ko power did I ? I said "good"Frank was a big enough puncher to easily ko Fury.

    Fury was put on his back by Cunningham ffs.

    You need to remember the fighters around in Franks time had much better chins too.

    He hurt a prime Tyson with a punch and Tyson had an epic beard.

    Tough one. Fury's such a chimera, he's never been in with any good hard hitting hw, its hard to predict how he'd do against and ATG hard hitting hw like Bruno. But ultimately, Bruno had almost as bad a chin as he was impressive in power, and Fury is a lot bigger and equally skilled as Bruno, so I'll go with Fury.

    Bruno fought Mike Tyson twice, Lennox and Tim Witherspoon when they were at their best. He fought Bonecrusher Smith, Oliver McCall and a number of other highly ranked fighters and was NEVER off his feet!

    Tyson Fury by comparison hasn't fought anybody, no one not even close

    Fury deserves his shot at Wlad 100%. Not sure Bruno deserved to fight McCall in 95, or Witherspoon in 86. He got the Lewis shot because he could sell tickets and Lewis couldn't. Tyson in 89 he never earned either, beating up old Joe Bugner and a bunch of no marks with losing records. Know wot I mean.
