Close match-up. Both guys, in their losses, have been KO'ed... I'd go for whoever has the best conditioning. Wlad is usually in top form stamina-wise, but Bruno (with his high KO rate) would probably gas out after 3 rounds.

Frank Bruno at his best was a solid technician with a jab to match Wladimir's. He also had the punching power to knock out Wladimir.
He had several weaknesses however which would likely cost him the fight. Bruno relied on strength training instead of conditioning which cost him many times in the later rounds and he also never truly got used to being hit. He would freeze up and take punishment on the ropes until the referee would have no choice but to stop the fight.
This is what would probably happen against Wladimir as well. He might trouble Wladimir during the early rounds but as the fight wore on, Bruno would wear out. Wladimir doesn't have great stamina either but he has learned to conserve his energy and most importantly use his size by clinching his opponents to wear them down. Bruno's strength might present problems for Wladimir though.
