    Yep those guys are going to stand more of a chance with no Tyson about. Dokes came on strong back end of the 80 s, he s in there. Maybe Holyfield gets in to the heavy s a little earlier? I to don't see the title been unified long either. It probably split s before 88 even. Even old Holmes could make a decent comeback and try for a belt again.?

    If spinks retired then the division goes in to a slump. At least until Holyfield comes along imo, he could get the belts together.

    Yes I am saying that.

    Bruno wasnt good enough. He lost everytime he stepped it up. Other than McCall which was a special case (due to McCalls drug problems, fragile mental state and age) right at the end of his career. It was his lack of stamina which was the main issue as well as his inability to survive in a fight and recover when hurt. Once Bruno was Hurt it was only a matter of time before it was good nigh Vienna.

    Most likely shot by a cop or fellow street thug. The only way he's alive at 51 is if he got a very long prison sentence which removed him from the streets.
