Frank Bruno vs Wladimir Klitschko (OFFICAL POLL)

[Lord Cornholio]

Wlad = glass jaw
Bruno = one punch power and unlike Peter the reach to use it
Combine the two = Wlad does his imitation of the Ingo Johannson routine at the end of the second Patterson fight

[HipsterRan]

Wladimir is a communist weakling. No match for true american strengt

When did Frank Bruno become American?

[mickey malone]

They're both quite similar really.. Frank was TKO'd by Bonecrusher, Witherspoon, Tyson(2), Lewis.. I think Wlad would stand a good chance against BC & W, but no chance against T & L..
Wlad was TKO'd by Purity, Sanders, Brewster.. I think Frank KO's all 3 of these.. So Bruno just edges it...

yeh but Frank Bruno is black so hes half way there

[Abstraction]

Would be close. But i give the edge to a Prime Bruno

[Southpaw16BF]

In his prime Bruno was a very good technical fighter, who had a beautilfull accurate sharp jab. And had a very powerfull right cross.

He was very muscular up top and most of the time had a tendacy to tire late on in a fight, he also had a tendacy to sometimes freeze on the big night, letting his nerves get the better of him and losing the fight before he got in the ring.

As for him and Wlad, like i said both had great jabs, and both had the power to knock each other out. But i would favour Wlad to use his height and reach to KO Bruno in the mid to late rounds.

But Bruno would have his moments in the fight, the way he did in the Lewis and Tyson fights.

All depends on where the fight was held.

Fight Held In Germany = After wobbling Wlad in the early rounds Bruno wouldn't be able to finish him off and would lose on points or late stoppage.

Fight Held In London = Bruno would wobble and finish of Wlad in the early rounds, 2nd round KO for Bruno

[GJC]

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.

Until he runs out of gas:

No chance for Bruno IMO. I'm a Brit and like Bruno but being realistic. Bruni never beat anyone who was in condition and up for a fight. He could hit but to be honest if any 16 stone plus man hits you flush 9/10 fighters going to at least go down. Gerrie Coetzee came for a last pay day he spent most of his UK trip shopping! He fought well early against Lewis as he did against Witherspoon and Bonecrusher but gassed and lost. 1st fight against Tyson he was fighting a Tyson in no sort of condition and had he have had any confidence should have given Tyson a lot more trouble. 2nd fight he looked even more terrified and was the title holder at the time. No against any top 10 fighter who is there to win it Bruno will lose.

[GJC]

Always felt that Bruno was too robotic, bit like seeing one of those tennis players that got all the shots and are text book players but other guy knows where every shot is going as it is in the text book and hammers the return past them. Think Bruno's management did well with him and he earnt a good living and a nice guy but thats it really. Forgetting fights like the Coetzee fight were just them putting names in with him that were long past their peak. Every title fight he had he couldn't have picked a better time to fight any of the opponents frankly. Lewis was having one of his off nights like he did, Witherspoon was out of condition, McCall was in the middle of a breakdown, 1st Tyson fight, Tyson was out of condition and mentally gone and 2nd Tyson fight was after Tyson done his prison time. Also Douglas had pretty much given you a road map on how to beat Tyson a map that theoretically Bruno had the tools for. Wlad is limited but Bruno more so, Wlad to win as soon as he is warmed up.
