    An even fight until around the tenth, where Thomas stops a fatigued Bruno.

    Bruno can't hold Thomas off and is stopped in the later half of the fight.

    Pinklon by UD, maybe SD. His jab would be the deciding factor, but I don't see him stopping Bruno. Pinklon was overrated a bit in the 1980s

    This is the scenario I see playing out.Pink's chin making the difference.

    I'll have to disagree with this. Reason is, Thomas was a better fighter at his best than the spoon that Bruno faced. Pinklon chin would hold up against frank s best shots imo and by the late rounds he'd be gassing and having Pinklon Jab smacking in to him. I just don't see Bruno makin it to the end in this scenario.

    Yeah, for once you are right Ferguson. Thomas and Witherspoon are just a bit better all-round fighters than Bruno.

    Thomas has the exact attributes to take Bruno's two strengths out of the picture. He has the better jab, meaning Bruno doesn't have his normal advantage, and the chin to take his power.

    I see Pinklon outboxing Frank for 8 or 9 rounds and then pouring it on whilst Frank's gassing. Thomas in 10.

    I agree, Pink would win through the jab and he was overrated.

    Any version of pinklon off crack beats Bruno. Any version on crack loses. It’s a crapshoot which version of pinklon you get
