Frank Bruno vs. Larry Holmes

In their primes, or a '92 match-up

 

92 might be pretty close to a pick em. Over 12 you probably fancy holmes

 

Holmes pisses it.
What does Bonkers have to cause Holmes any trouble?
Speed?
Power?
Jab?
Combinations?
Ring generalship?

Maybe Bonkersitis, but that's about it.

 

In fact you're right....bruno is too ponderous even for early 90s Holmes. Its pretty easy work

 

Yeah, I think even in 92 Holmes should be favored via decision.

In 92 Larry would probably be trailing going into the later rounds, then pull it out as Bruno tires.

Prime-f0r-prime, the answer should be pretty obvious.

Prime Holmes picks Bruno apart, and then stops him late as Frank's stamina fails.

 

Prime vs prime, Bruno gives it his customary courageous try and for 4 or 5 rounds he's "in" the fight and then it becomes more one sided and he's eventually stopped

 

Probably less competitive than he was with Lewis though.

Prime Holmes didn't have a lazy jab like Lewis had in 93, and his footwork was light years ahead of Lummox's footwork at that time.

Lewis was lethargic as fuck in the Bruno fight. His incredible power bailed him out from getting upset.

 

I didn't say anything about Lewis?

 

I know, I was just saying it.

 

I'm JUST SAYING

 

Bruno never learned to really fight. Holmes via gradual beat down leading to a stoppage within 10 rounds.
