Thread: Danny Williams vs Frank Bruno

Prime for Prime how do you see this one?

Good fight! I see a prime Danny taking punishment but coming back around rounds 8-9 to TKO Frank. I don't think Frank has the pressure to finish him off

I'm probably in the minority here.

bruno was beating lewis - who alot of people think was a top 10 all time heavy

thing with frank is, tbh probabyl with the exception of MASSIVE punchers, not to say lewis wasnt he could hold his own with almost anyone, until he got hit! so could be bruno in 2 or 3 or williams in 5 or 6 lol

but probs bruno

A prime Bruno would batter Danny Williams.

It wouldn't go three rounds.

Danny Williams took a lot of punishment against a completely finished Mike Tyson, not a half way decent Mike, let alone prime.

Vitali is not a big one punch knockout guy and takes few risks.

Bruno hit with bombs and beat everyone outside of the elite world class.

Williams would be floored about half a dozen times before his corner saved him.

The version of Lewis that fought Bruno is not the version of Lewis that made him great..

Just to be fair to Lennox...

To answer the question though IMO Bruno would win after some rough moments...

I don't know Lewis would have been about 28/29 then and was probably in his absolute prime.

After that he started to get a bit lax resulting in his two KO losses.

Lewis in 93/94 was probably a peak Lewis. The big name fighters he beat after that were all pretty much past their best.

as much as i like danny, nice guy always has time to stop and chat...............but frank bruno's OUR FRANK, he'd beat williams inside 5 rounds

You are going to try and seriously say the version of Lewis that fought Bruno was the best version of him?

You speak of nothing you know about....

Golota had just been named the terror of HW boxing with his 2 beatdowns of Bowe...Bowe was going to lose if not for the DQ..

Tua had only lost to Ibeabuchi

Grant undefeated and being proclaimed the future of HW boxing

Botha had only lost to Tyson (Who he was beating tiol he got caught) and

Moorer (who was only beaten once at the time buy upset over Foreman)

Mercer was dangerous had never been down at this point

Akinwande was undefeated

Morrison was on a 9 fight win streak

Briggs was well Briggs never mind...

Holyfield had lost only to Moorer and Bowe..

Sorry the 93/94 being the best Lewis does not fly

Danny Williams is seriously overrated, he beat an overly shot Mike Tyson who injured his ankle. The same version of Mike Tyson who lost to Kevin McBride.

Except for that what else did he do ? he got destroyed by Sinan Samil Sam. Went life and death with fighters like Julius Franics, Michael Sprott.

Frank Bruno only ever lost to world class fighters, and performed well in all of them.

He would of destroyed Danny Williams inside of 6 rounds, Frank Bruno wouldn't lose to anyone on Danny Williams resume except Vitali Klitschko.

Even if Danny went into the fight with a positive attitude and ready to fight, not something you could guarantee, Bruno beats him. Even if Danny was having a Mark Potter night the ref would have stopped it before Bruno would have been anywhere near running out of steam.

I'm not even contemplating picking against Frank, lovely fella.

The prime version of Tyson would have starched Williams in 2 IF it went that long

Bruno tko 1

Totally different level fighters. Bruno was at least a world level fighter, just not world class, williams was just a British/European level fighter who was lucky enough to fight a very shot legend and beat him. It would be a long painful night for Danny IMO with a KO arriving in around 8th or 9th.

Shame you couldn't cross these fighters though, Williams had great recovery and determination to see out a fight once hurt, whereas Bruno lacked these but had more in the skill department and i'd say had the better power (although Danny could punch).

I agree with most that Bruno would tear him a new one!!

Good call by Baggins on Gary Mason. Mason v Bruno would've been very interesting and very hard to pick. I'd lean towards Bruno in that one aswell!

Bruno was a world Champ and beat a good fighter in oliver Mccall the only thing Danny ever did was beat a shot shell tyson and get hammered by Klit and Audley.
