how would frank bruno done against larry holmes
well winner of bonecrusher vs bruno would get shot at holmes and bruno gave bonecrusher a boxing lesson until he got stopped in last round and bonecrusher got his shot against holmes but just say bruno would have survived against bonecrusher how would he have done against larry holmes who was slipping at that time
Re: how would frank bruno done against larry holmes
Frank would have probably made an encouraging start but ultimately found himself outclassed and stopped late in the fight.

agreed i think he would shake up holmes quite few times but holmes great chin and stamina would outlast bruno onslaught and bruno gets stopped late
Re: how would frank bruno done against larry holmes
I would go for Holmes by either late stoppage or points win but i would give Frank a puchers chance because he could bang no one could take that away from him franks problem was he would'nt go down and take an 8 count to clear his head he would just let fighters unload on him
Re: how would frank bruno done against larry holmes
Bruno could punch but it never ever bailed him out against a top tier fighter. I see no reason why it would against Holmes.

bruno could punch but holmes had been in with hard hitters than frank
shavers
cooney ect
bruno would do well like i said and would wobble holmes few times but bruno's stamina would let him down and he gets stopped in 11th round
really wish bruno would of fought holmes he should have never lost that bonecrusher fight and what a shame because he missed out on fighting a legend like holmes

Apart from his world class power Bruno did relley on his decent jab in most fights but there is no way bruno could out jab Holmes who had the arguabley best jab of all HW.
Holmes would out jab Frank and stop him in about 10 rounds or so.

Re: how would frank bruno done against larry holmes
And I 3rd that notion...I love Bruno's heart but he wouldnt maintain it against the Holmes of that time. Would be stopped...

So true Brunos power didnt really ice many top class fighters , but he was a trier !!!!
Holmes via 12 round ko
Re: how would frank bruno done against larry holmes
Bruno would have been stuck on the end of a jab all night and as he tired in the late rounds Holmes would have opened up and stopped him IMO.
