Perhaps he meant a younger version than the 37yo one that Bruno fought.

Bruno has always been an enigma to me. I can't quite figure out how good he was. Was he the Bruno who hurt Tyson early and gave him trouble, or the Bruno who kept holding the back of Tyson's head and trying to punch him?

Bruno-Tua...that I would love to see!

I would put Bruno over Cooper.
Henry lost 14 fights.... his reputation lives off that knockdown of Ali.

Remember Bruno was only ever beaten by guys who won world titles.
Bruno has too much power for Cooper.

Ye he would split his eye open wiv the jab... Simple as that. No way Cooper could go 12 rounds. Only way he could win is to KO Bruno early.

Bruno COULD outbox Tua on paper, but in practise, could he keep away from Tua's power shots for 10 or 12 rounds? Cos while it is a misconception that Bruno had a weak chin, it is true to say that once he got hit, he stayed hit. I'm sure Tua would catch up with him sooner or later, wiping out a points deficit as he did so.

Okay I will use the Bruno of 1989 in these matchups as representing my "peak Bruno" even tho most his best wins were a few years later. And i make the assumption that you also wish me to match him up against the best version of the foes you listed and over10, 12 rounds or 15? since stamina was a huge factor in Brunos first 2 losses and throughout his career this makes a huge difference.Frank could often put on a boxing clinic for 7-8 rounds and than fall apart out of nothing as his stamina deserted him and his fight tension increased as the opponent made a last surge. That almost cost him in the mccall fight and definetly cost him in the witherspoon match

I will assume it is 12 rounds:

The result in a lot of these fights would be different if it was 10 rounds.

Thomas = Thomas TKO 10 in a close fight frank is out on his feet
Page= Page TKO 11.same as above
Tua= Tua KO 8
Morrison= Bruno KO 3
Ruddock= Ruddock KO7
Moorer= Bruno KO5
Bugner= Bruno w12.
Cooper= Bruno TKO8 on cut eyes.
Patterson=Patterson W12 pts
M Spinks= Spinks TKO11
Cooney= Bruno Ko 5 in a shootout.
Mercer= Mercer TKO 11 comes from behind
Chambers[/quote] Bruno W10

Tubbs - an in shape Tubbs is just too quick for Bruno. Tubbs UD12
Thomas - A very competitive fight, but Thomas' jab is the difference as he wins by late rnds TKO
Page - See Tubbs fight.
Tua - Tua loses every round, then clocks Bruno after the bell ending the 8th. Bruno, still dazed from the illegal punch, is stopped in next round.
Morrison - Bruno within 3
Ruddock - Bruno dominates, then runs out of gas and is stopped in the 10th.
Moorer - A competitive fight until Bruno lands a solid right in the 8th to win by KO
Bugner - Bugner by comfortable UD.
Cooper - Bruno inside of 5. Cooper is dropped a few times before the ref stops it.
M Spinks - Spinks controls the first few rounds, but is rocked and stopped in the middle rounds.
Cooney - Cooney stops Bruno early with a LH to the liver.
Mercer - Bruno wins most of the early rounds, tires and then hangs on to win a SD.
Chambers - Bruno by mid-late stoppage
