    Bruno, on the right night, could have kod Moorer fast.

    A lot of trolling posts.

    But to answer the Q,
    Tunney, Conn, even Dempsey, even Rocky, are FAR too small to beat a giant like Frank Bruno.

    Unless you mean in real time frame? In that case Lennox Lewis in mid-92 if he stayed switched on.

    Yeah because Wilder knocked out so many quality fighters early...

    Bruno was beating the Hell outta Lewis for 6 rounds, but apparently Wilder would do better than Lewis...

    If he lands a good one he can beat Floyd Patterson,

    I think he could possiblly beat Michael Dokes too. If Dokes does not show in good condition.

    Lewis was on poor form and looked awful vs Tucker and got sparked being sloppy vs McCall after the Bruno fight, Lewis improved dramatically when Steward started training him.

    Moorer was far better than anybody Bruno beat, only thing Frank had over Moorer was size and reach.
