Let's say, Holmes gets the decision in that McCall fight (there are some, who think he should've won) and wins the title belt at age 46.

From what we know about him, it's very likely that he still would've continued fighting.

What if allegedly entice him to the UK with a handsome sum to fight Bruno at Wembley in a voluntary defense (like he did with McCall).

How Holmes-Bruno would've gone?

Holmes' jab would have been too much for old Frank, he would have had a nightmare style wise to deal with the boxing IQ of a Holmes similar to the difficulty he had with Lennox Lewis. Holmes on points.

Bruno wins because of youth. He’d be too busy for Holmes.

In 1995 I'd have to favor Frank. Holmes still would've been able to give him fits, but I think Bruno could've outhustled him by this point in their careers.

At that time, Bruno would take a decision and imo, he did more convincingly than McCall decisioning Holmes.
