    Say Larry gets the nod, this fight would of been on in August 1995. I reckon its 50-50.

    I think Bruno wins a close disputed decision at wembley

    Interesting, I suspect Holmes in the end would just be in survival mode, and Bruno would pound out a late retirement.

    Although as rightly pointed out, Bruno did have stamina issues, unlike many, this was not down to poor conditioning; the Bomber's stamina issues seemed to come from stress. I do not see Holmes putting on the sort of pressure needed to worry Frank, thus Bruno would eventually totally dominate the aging Black Cloud.
