    Bruno may suffer from extreme lack of stamina, and he may be slow, but to call him glass jawed?

    I don't know about that, he took some hellacious bombs, but with the exception of Bonecrusher I don't think I've seen him put out?

    bruno was chinny, but haye is too. bruno hit even harder n hayes speed wouldnt bother frank much. frank was a big talented heavyweight, stunned the fast as hell tyson a few times, frank would take him out early hed probably get rocked himself a few times trying

    Maybe I'm in the wrong..
    His stiffness and terrible stamina might have given me the impressions his jaw is weak too.

    Yes, he was stiff as a board and had terrible stamina, which might've given most the perception that he was chinny.

    Now I'm not saying he was iron chinned, but he took some punches that would've flattened a lot of good heavyweights who were considered durable.

    I think Haye stops him late on but if Bruno can pin him down with that jab it's gonna be game over.

    Tough fight to call, slightly favour Bruno but wouldnt bet on it.

    They share similar weaknesses, perhaps Haye is more talented & likely to exploit them but Bruno would be more willing to take risks & exchange.

    Frank would win, one way or the other.

    Bruno's punches were concussive and could knock boxers with much better chins as Haye cold with a single blow. He would come after Haye from the opening bell and won't back down even if he gets caught, so I expect some kind of simular result as Haye vs a prime Tua.

    Bruno would keep him at bay with his jab and KO him...FACT.

    Exactly this. Bruno was out jabbing Lewis and always did well until the championship rounds, where he always did badly. Excluding Tyson.

    Bruno is the favorite in this fight. Haye could always catch him though.

    I'll give Haye a shot the moment he fights and beats someone remotely as good as prime Bruno. So that'll be never, then.

    Underrated fighter most probably.

    It's just his stamina was :scaredas:

    In the end he finally got a title which is nice
