    Two big punchers with somewhat less than granite jaws.

    Would anybody back Big Frank to score an upset?

    I think a prime Bruno could score a KO.

    i would back frank.

    as stiff as he was he gave you no room to look good.
    where as wlad can be knokced down by a jab. frank usually stiffed up when he was hit.

    i think bruno could ko him and maybe out boxing. he was a big man nevcer mind the wieght and wlad as big as he is can get caught flush.

    Bruno would be undisputed heavyweight champion if he were in his prime today- shocking!

    Bruno by Ko.

    Wlad's a weaker Bruno.

    Bruno's chin was better too.

    True it was more his inablilty to get out of the way that was the problem.

    Bruno had a good chin, he had problems with what to do when he got hit.

    Wlad has a soft chin, but is more classy than Bruno and with much better stamnia.

    Bruno would make his normal good start and be leading at the halfway point, but in the end Wlad would get on top of Bruno and comeback to stop him late IMO.

    Bruno had a very good chin, but once someone tagged him, was totally clueless, it was basically lights out.

    If he had had the brains of someone like Ricky Hatton, who finds a way to hold on the inside until the ref breaks them up, giving priceless seconds to recover.

    To be honest, Bruno should have lost only twice, to Witherspoon, and Tyson in the second fight. He was beating Smith handily before getting stopped in the last round, rocked Tyson in the first, but admired what he'd done instead of finishing him, and was beating Lewis before caving in!

    Bruno would be have a good chance of beating Wlad by KO, but Wlad's smarter ring craft may have Frank in trouble, and we all knew what happened once he was tagged........

    The ref waved the contest off.

    Wlad wouldn't be able to man hug big Frank.

    But Wlad wouldn't get past Frank's jab to try that anyway.

    Anyone who man hugs Chris Byrd will not beat Bruno.

    Sorry to sit on the fence but to me its a pick em fight.

    If they fought 10 times I reckon it would be 5 each.

    I could see it go either way. Bruno early Vladimir late. Have never rated Vladimir chin though Bruno could get clocked as well.

    Bruno would ko Wlad who is treading on eggshells untill he faces anyone decent. Bruno would clean up the division.

    They said that when he faced fat Sam Peter.

    Easy points win for Wlad.
