    Bruno was a solid 2x HW champion, Itauma is no Tyson or Lewis, I think Bruno would have too much experience and would take Itauma into the late rounds and drown him.

    Hard to say because Moses is more talented but Bruno would actually push him and Itauma's chin hasn't been tested and Bruno could really crack.

    It would be a short fight.

    Bruno has zero chances, the difference in class is obvious, and nostalgics can think whatever they want...

    Moses chin and stamina haven´t been tested.

    He has all the potencial in the world and quite possibly in 2-3 years we´ll be talking about him in fantasy matches vs Ali, Holmes and Tyson after he has Fury,Dubois,Joshua or Usyk as scalps.

    But with the little data that we have now I´d have to side with the big punching (if robotic) Frank Bruno.

    Ladies and gentlemen, we have the time, 2 minutes 19 seconds into round number 4, your referee stops the contest, he is the winner by way of knockout, Britain's favourite son...FRANK BRUNO!

    I don’t even think we need to see Itauma’s stamina and chin for this, his offense would blow Bruno away quite early.

    Right now, I'd have to back Bruno.
    That might change after I've seen Itauma in with someone other than a paycheck collector.

    McCall is Bruno's only qualify win. He's hardly proven himself so why the focus on Itauma being unproven when Bruno is so unproven

    He wasn't a two time champion. And he's 0-1 in title defenses.

    The same might be true of Itauma
