    The Bruno who outboxed Lennox Lewis before being stopped vs Prime Vitali Klitschko. How does it go?

    Lewis wasn`t stopped by Vitali and wasn`t being trained by Steward when he fought Bruno, Frank was nowhere near the level of Vitali and wouldn`t be able to take his power after gassing like he did in all his title fights bar his stoppage losses v Tyson, because those fights finished before he could gas in a later rounds, which is exactly what would have happened, Bruno is vastly overrated I feel.

    Could go either way, since Bruno is better than everybody on Vitali’s resume except Byrd and Lennox.

    Well Frank isn't koing Vit ,and I don't see Bruno being able to out box him In to the late rounds .So its likely imo that Klitschko come s from slightly behind and maybe shook up a few times ,to stop Bruno about the 11 th on the rope's.

    Vitali unanimimous or possibly split decision. Bruno and Vitali are both cautious fighters, but Vitali is a better boxer and just bigger. Bruno has his moments in this one, especially in rounds 2 through 7.

    Bruno is more muscular, but overall Vitali is bigger, yes.
    Good assessment of the fight.

    Frank was very good but he couldn't sustain his fight for 12 hard rounds. Maybe all the muscle. I think Vitali wins by 10th round knockout.

    Vitali via TKO. Bruno didn't have the best chin or stamina, and would have a tough time landing on a mobile and hard to catch Klitschko who throws and lands a lot of punches.

    I'd expect it to go more or less like the Lewis fight, but just about any outcome is possible here.

    This is how I see it. Bruno might have a few moments but Vitali would stop him late in the fight.

    Vitali by late tko. Overall Vitali is the better skilled boxer.

    I think Vitali is better, but Bruno is better than anyone Vitali beat IRL.
