Prime Gerrie Coetzee vs Prime Bruno?

Forget their actual fight, Coetzee was past his prime and on pain killers.
How would say 87 Bruno who beat Tillis and Bugner do against Coetzee who fought Dokes or Mike Weaver? Id say Coetzee is the faster fighter and probably has the harder right hand punch, if not he is more dangerous with it as Bruno is tremendously slow with his. Also Coetzee in his prime had a chin of steel and was a tough fighter, only the hardest of punchers had stopped him in his prime years but on the downside his stamina is probably on par with another power puncher in Shavers so Bruno has an advantage in that aspect.
My prediction - Coetzee KO 8.
Thoughts?

Probably Coetzee by late round stoppage or decision, too much experience.

LOL! This is a laugh. 'A prime Coetzee' --Gerrie was THIRTY years old when he fought Bruno-- Yeh- he was absolutely ancient wasnt he
A "prime Coetzee" couldnt knockout John Tate or Mike Weaver but hes gonna ice Bruno?
The fight lasts however long Coetzee stays out the way of Brunos dynamite right. Which wont be very long.
BRUNO KO1 COETZEE (again)

You should know that fighters prime differently compared to other fighters, Wilfred Benitz was past of his prime at TWENTY THREE, THATS TWENTY THREE while someone like Hopkins is still going strong in his 40's. Gerrie took on top opposition since Bruno was a mere 16 years old kid.
No way in hell does Bruno knockout Coetzee, Coetzee took Renaldo Snipes best the same Snipes that floored Holmes with 1 punch and he also took Pinklon Thomas's best punches, the Weaver fight - Coetzee was knocked out the same way Foreman was knocked out by Ali - he had run out of gas and he still beat Weaver up for the first 10 rounds.
