What if bruno never rematched tyson..

[imp]

It was obviously the most money fight for bruno with tyson just coming out of prison and he obviously wanted to avenge his defeat...but couldnt he have just enjoyed the moment a bit more after the mccall win?

Bruno had alot of muscle and was very robotic and took alot of punishment..but how far do you think he would have went if he didnt fight tyson for the second time?

[Britkid]

If he had not fought Tyson in 96, The Bomber would of been stripped of his alphabet title. Everyone wanted Tyson and Bruno got lucky...

[ross]

Yep, whoever wan the title that night Bruno v McCall had to defend against Tyson.

Would have been interesting to see McCall v Tyson. He would have gone the distance and Mike would have got some rounds but seeing McCall in his fight with Bruno and the rematch with Lewis I doubt he wins.

[p4pking]

He would have missed out on a huge payday and lost the title to somebody else.

[Spicoli]

Knowing Don King and his master plan, he'd arrange to have him stripped and give Tony Tucker his 101st undeserved title fight in a "rematch the public demands"

Bruno did well for himself there. Earned his return payday and certainly didn't go out like a total wet noodle like Tyson's next challenge for a trinket.

[imp]

One thing i took from that rematch was the uppercut from tyson that seemed to lift bruno from the floor.

What a machine than man was.

[Act1107]

He wouldn't have gotten very far...
One loss or two doesn't mean quits for a fighter unless he's a quitter..
Kinda stiff for a fighter.

[Dark Lord Al]

Well obviously Tyson would only have one win against Bruno if he hadn't rematched him .

[Memphis]

He might have been able to fiddle a defence or two but the reality is he needed McCall to hand it to him on a silver platter. It wouldn't have taken much for someone to take it away again.

bruno was the best HW in history

Tyson just caught him in the right place at the right time on 2 occasions and turned out to be his bogey man, everybody has them

if he hadnt have rematched tyson when he did he would have had a couple more fights unifying the belts and then he would have retired

Bruno was very lucky to have been in a position to become a champion and rematch Tyson. He barely made it out of the last round against McCall; who had been asleep for most of their fight. Had he not fought Tyson he would've either had a couple of soft defences for less money, been stripped, or had to fight Holyfield or something. Truthfully though, it would have still been fun to see him take on say Tommy Morrisson or Ruddock, maybe and old Foreman. I think he'd have gotten KO'ed by all 3 but he also had a chance.

You could tell how serious and confident Bruno was about avenging his defeat with that deer in the headlights look he had walking to the ring. Never seen a champion cross himself so much

If Bruno had been bought up in an American gym he could have been alot better.

He was good but not great. He didnt seem to know how to deal with adversity. If hed had better fighters to spar with as an amteur and coming through the pros hed have learnt better head movement, not to be so stiff and tense, load up on all his shots and tire himself out.

He didnt have a bad chin, it just wasnt too hard to find and unfortunately he fought some huge punchers like Tyson, Lewis, Witherspoon and Smith who managed to find his chin as he tired and slowed down in the bouts.

If Bruno had the right political connections that Tyson had from King then Frank could have made a routine defence against Tucker, unified the title from Seldon and possibly fought Hipp and made some more money. Foreman would probably have been too afraid to fight Bruno, and Frank would have had to avoid Lewis and Holyfield for as long as possible because he would have been beaten by them anyway.
