    Bruno didn't have a glass jaw (when was he KO'd?) he didn't have any survival skills i.e. when he was caught he attempted to fight back instead of covering up and getting on his bike or even taking a knee.

      Bruno would make a serious impact on the world stage these days, he had awesome power and could box well behind a very powerful jab.

      Don't forget he was beating Bonecrusher Smith, Tim Witherspoon and Lennox Lewis until he was caught late on, each time his lack of survival instinct let him down or this thread would have a different theme!

        Thats true.

        Bruno was an underrated fighter. He could really ****, I mean one of the hardest hitters in the history of the sport and he could box.

        He was a bit slow and robotic but he would be too much for many of the fighters around today!

            That why they haven't made an impact in a poor era of the division when Bruno fought for three Titles and won one of them in a stronger era???

              Bruno was a big fella with a great jab and a massive overhand right! i think he would trouble many heavyweights of this era and would defo beat harrison and williams..

                he would beat all those guys, and maybe a on form harrison like the one we saw against williams will give him trouble.

                    Danny is the most talented HW since Tyson and Bowe (always was), he just doesn't know it.

                    Audley is top quality, when he trains. If he trains, he can still go on to meet Wlad for the undisputed title.

                      he did look very slow and robotic but he was surpirssingly hard to hit cleanly.

                      his punches had very little snap to them but really knocked people around. in my mind he looked as foreman would have looked if he boxed
