Foreman would've dropped Bruno like a sack of sh!t. Truly.

I know he was inactive going in but Cooney above Spinks just looks wrong. When you see a guy land like 80 out of 90 punches in less than a round it's hard to imagine him ever losing to that fighter.

1) Holmes (removing his 1970s victories over Weaver, Norton, Shavers hurts him here)
2) Lewis
3) Tyson
4) Bowe
5) Witherspoon
6) Foreman
7) Berbick/Thomas flip a coin
8) Tubbs
9) Bruno
10) Tucker/Mercer flip a coin
Once they retire I'd put Evander at #1, with Holmes dropping as his best wins were in the 70s.
Vitali comes after Bowe.
Wlad after Witherspoon.

Wen was Bruno ever dropped like a sack of sh!t?? He just didn't go down like that.Goodnight, Irene wrote:Foreman would've dropped Bruno like a sack of sh!t. Truly.
However, even tho I'd favor Foreman in a match vs Bruno it would be close odds. So don't get carried away.

I'm not saying Foreman would blow him out in two or three rounds, but when he put him away, it'd be hard & convincing. Bruno was way too panicky & limited to pull it together against the 90's Foreman.gambler49 wrote:Wen was Bruno ever dropped like a sack of sh!t??
