    Yes he did, but watch his hand speed in the first five rounds against Lewis, very impressive for a big guy. I would of had more respect for Lewis if he just said Frank was one real tough opponent but I gritted my teeth and turned it around instead of excusing his performance with cold weather!!

    I think Bruno would beat all of those, barring the Klits.... all by stoppage as well.

    As for those two, hmm....

    Wlad

    Bruno could certainly put Wlad to sleep.

    Bruno had the reach and a good enough jab to partly nullify Wlad's main weapon (the jab) and also enough power to discourage Wlad letting his hands go.

    Frank could also hook off the jab and had the overhand right also.

    Bruno could take Wlad's shots - for a time at least.

    Neck on the line - Bruno by KO.

    Vitali

    Need to think about this more. Could he beat the version that gave Lewis hell..... then again he gave a better version of Lewis hell and was winning by as much (if not more).

    The thing that is swaying me toward Vitali is his ability to absorb shots and fire back.... but other than Lewis, nobody has really landed with any regularity, and Frank was better than any of those....

    Bruno would be the same as he was back in the day. A fringe Ttile contender. COULD pick up a belt, but the dominant ones in the division would beat him comfortably

    Wlad and Vitali = Tyson and Lewis
