Wlad prime v Frank Bruno prime : who would win

[Mctaggert]

Poor Frank would have been stopped round 10 I reckon. Still, I think Frank would have given Wlad a very hard fight. Certainly land more leather than Haye did against Wlad with that fast short jab and clubbing right hand of his.

Solid post! No doubt that Fank would have given his all, he was a warrior. i just see Wlad as the better boxer, the more technically gifted, and Wlad learned from his mistakes where Frank did not.

This clinching and holding version of Wlad would survive the early rounds and then take over. Everyone know Bruno tires badly with all that muscle late on in fights.

I've gone for 'Prime Wlad' between 7 and 12.

'Purity, Sanders, Brewster' Wlad, hmmmmm. Bruno is 100% better than all of those guys, so he has a chance

[TitoFan]

A lot depends on Bruno. If he comes in intent on making the fight, just about anything can happen because power at heavyweight is the great equalizer. If he decides to wait for an opening and displays caution, it could be a long night, because I'm sure Wlad would be very respectful of Bruno's one-punch power.

Not knowing which Bruno to expect, I went with the latter scenario and voted Wlad by decision.

[DannyGarcia]

Wlad is gonna win by decision, hes also gonna get frank on the floor once. My prediction lol

[Spicoli]

Don't see why Bruno couldn't land a brick but a 'now' version of Wlad keeps him on a pole and has the pop to short circuit Bruno in either hand. Wlad calm and collected and as we know not afraid to stink out the crowd while waiting while Brunos rigidness and nerves could get him in bad trouble. Hope for Frank, bet for Wlad.

This is how I see it.

Right, Bruno's best chance would have been against the old vulnerable version of Wlad, not the "prime", and or current version.

I don't necessarily agree, and nor do I think it is relevant.

Sanders was a nightmare opponent for any chinny heavyweight. Fast, heavy handed, and a southpaw to boot
Wlad punched himself out against Puritty, inexperience there.

One thing these three have in common is that they can all take a hell of a punch, meaning Wlad was always going to struggle with his early career propensity to chase the knockout. Bruno didn't have the chin of those three, which is why I'd give him less of a chance of winning than them.
