LENNOX LEWIS: "Tyson will win, no doubt about it. Bruno's a professional big-time loser. When he's hit, he goes. What Tyson did before he will do again. He may find it tougher this time because of his inactivity. This fight will indicate just how much of the old Mike Tyson is left. Tyson by kayo in four."

NASEEM HAMED: "I think Frank has an excellent chance. Tyson has been away from boxing for four years with only two meaningless fights back which were very unimpressive. Frank is very confident and he's got the power and the ambition to shock the world and to shock Mike Tyson. Bruno by KO in the sixth."

BARRY McGUIGAN: "This is one that really can go either way. I favour Tyson but if Bruno can get a big punch in he could knock him spark out. Questions remain about Tyson's desire, his ability to take a strong punch and what toll inactivity has taken on him. Bruno's better than when they last fought. If pressed, Tyson by knockout in seven rounds."

JIM WATT: "I don't rate Bruno's chances at all. He's a brave and very committed man but he has some fundamental flaws which a fighter of Tyson's prowess will readily exploit. He stands too tall, he's too stiff, he hasn't got the instincts to finish a man who's hurt and he doesn't know how to react when hurt himself. Tyson in three or four rounds.

WARREN STOWE: "Though the odds dictate that Tyson should win, I have a strange feeling that Bruno will land a bolt from the blue and finish the fight early. I've never seen him as confident as this and, remember, Tyson's been out of action for such a long time. I really hope that Frank does it for Britain. Bruno by kayo in the third."
