    Since it's Moorer season :D

    The Bruno between Lewis/McCall fights. Bruno has the power, size and jab to trouble and win this possibly, outside of Foreman his best shot at the lineal title

    This has a few permutation's , Bruno usually gasses after the 7th , they both have not the best chin's , moorer could switch off during fights , how many southpaw had Bruno fought , how would moorer handle being possibly out jabbed .


    I will state the obvious if Bruno hasn't won by the end of the 8th moorer wins

    Given Bruno's excellent jab though I take big frank by tko around the 5th or 6th am I sure or confident no way

    I reckon Frank would have had a damn good shot against Moorer.

    I give Bruno a real shot early.

    I think Moorer wins, though. I don't think he has the weakness of skill to get taken out early, and Bruno doesn't have Tua power or Tua aggression. The later this gets, the worse it gets for Frank; MM actually came out very strong late in fights.

    MM late TKO. He goes down once or twice early, but around the eighth, takes over with his jab, and starts hammering Bruno. The braver than credited Bruno takes it for a couple rounds before folding.

    I think this fight looks a lot like Moorer vs. Botha, but with knockdowns and more jabbing.

    I certainly think Bruno had Tua power, just if he can land the big one or not

    I remember one fight he dropped someone and hit them with an uppercut as they fell lifting him back up.

    He's kinda like the Chuck Norris of boxing. He created the giraffe by uppercutting a zebra and all that jazz :good

    Lennox Lewis thinks otherwise, but I certainly think he was a large enough puncher to be an incredibly dangerous man. He has some stellar one round demolition jobs.

    What did Lennox have to say? I'm not sure he landed his best against Lennox, he wasn't really great at lining up a bomb Bruno

    But did you see Bruno-McCall, McCall went into a shell after tasting Bruno's power early

    It should be noted that early Frank was reasonably quick but he got allot slower, but maybe better tactics wise

    He's mentally ill now, pretty sad really

    McCall said Bruno's right hand was one of the hardest punches he ever took.
