By comparative no hoper in Bruno, I meant compared to Spinks people gave him no hope of beating Mike because of his form in heavy weight title fights compared to Spinks.

"comparative"

If we go back, just before the Spinks fight, look at Spinks and Brunos records, if we are honest it would be Spinks who has the better chance

Spinks beat a very well regarded champ, a top ten all time heavy, twice, maybe debatable but he did enough in those fights to make an argument, Bruno on the other hand had fought 2 punchers with good not great skills and floundered through their power, Tyson had as much if not more power and was coming off a string of extremly impressive performances, wiping out the last serious threat to his reign in 90 seconds.

Comparatively Bruno was a no hoper
