    Frank Bruno would Have Stopped Foreman Of The 70”s

    Here’s why he was 6”3 and 225/240 in his prime but had an 82 inch reach .He had a stronger punch and equal jab ,he would outlast the smaller Foreman and looking at the Lyle fight a shootout favors Bruno . I think Foreman who fought Holyfield wins though . Bruno would only lose if Foreman dragged him late but little Jimmy Young beat up Foreman because of his stamina issues as well .

    If Foreman was a driver and Bruno a policeman , maybe.

      Bruno would have been the strongest guy he could face in the 1970s . Closest one was Ron who had less power and boxing abilities than Frank .

        - - Foreman would piledrive him today, but neither is dumb enough to bother with such piffle as U.

          I'll give you this: Bruno would easily break the world record of crossing oneself before the fight.

            Frank today was throwing punches with Dubois so that’s improbable.

              Bruno was a much better boxer and Foreman a better chin. The only bet I’d be willing to make is that it would not go passed 7 rounds

                Frank Bruno got stopped by Bonecrusher Smith, Terrible Tim Witherspoon, Mike Tyson (twice), and Lennox Lewis.

                Big George would've obliterated him.

                  I agree with this assessment.

                    If Bruno was afraid of a 5'11" Mike Tyson, they would have had to beg him, or tie him up and carry him to the ring to get him in there with Foreman
