    I'd favour Bruno, but I worry about his chances in a fight where jabbing would be difficult. Moorer is one of a few contemporaries of Bruno who could outjab him, and the jab was a very essential punch for him; he became much less effective when Tyson took it away.

    Still, prime for prime, I think that Bruno probably lands a series of big bombs and takes Moorer out before Moorer gets to him or Bruno tires.

    There is a battle of the jabs. I wouldnt say Moorer would automatically
    Outjab Bruno, Brunos jab was formidable. Bruno's power is too much
    for Moorer. Bruno KO 5.

    I'm a long-time Moorer "liker" but I think he physically matches up poorly with Bruno and gets stopped. I don't feel certain about it. But that's what I'd favour, Bruno by stoppage inside six.

    The only way bruno loses, is if he gases and that aint gonna happen here because Moorer wont be around for that long

    Interesting, ive never thought of Bruno/Mercer

    My prediction is that that fights goes like Morrison/Mercer

    Bruno's power carries him through on this one. Providing we're talking about Frank at his best,which,imo,was 1993.

    I think Bruno would hit to hard for morrer.Franks jab was a real weapon .unless Mike Land's a big shot of his own which is possible Bruno wins in about 6 in a great fight.

    Really tough call. The one punch that I can count on landing is Moorer's jab. The problem is that Michael stood flat-footed in front of his opponent, which is Bruno's wheelhouse. I think it could go either way, but I lean slightly towards Moorer.
