    The Middleton who beat Joe Bugner in 1971 against the Bruno who,briefly,shook Mike Tyson in their first fight. ??

    If Bruno could nail Larry early,he'd take this one. The longer it goes,the better for Middleton.

    Yes indeed ! A prime Bugner,if Joe was in one of his up for it moods,would stop Frank late in the fight.

    Bruno wasn't Ron Lyle, his left hook may have equaled Ron's but it ends there and the Larry who lost to Ron outscores Bruno.
