Hang on a minute, I don't want to sound like @erics44, but why do people on here talk about Bruno like he was a pile of shit?
He went in with loads of World Champs, had a great Career , rocked Tyson when he was at his peak, gave Lewis the fight of his life, was a World Champion.
If any of this current crop surpass his achievements, they'll have had a very good career. I'm not saying that can't happen, but come on, show a bit of respect.������
Bruno was stopped by Bonecrushe, Witherspoon and rocked by Jumbo.Quote:

He gassed in the last round against Bonecrusher (who became a World Champion btw) after winning the first 9 rounds. Good learning fight for him.Quote:

He got stopped by Witherspoon , who was World Champion.
In the fight immediately before Bruno, Tyson had just knocked out Michael Spinks in the 1st round when everyone was saying that was going to be his biggest test to date. Immediately after he beat Bruno , he beats Carl "the truth" Williams , who was One of the best around at the time, again 1 st round KO.
Yes, he got rocked by Jumbo Cummings, but KO'd him in the end. So AJ can get rocked by Whyte and win, and Fury can get floored by a CW And some Serbian and win, and that's OK?
So he won the World Title at the 4th attempt, so what? Martyn Murray never.
I'm not saying Bruno was a World beater, and I'm not saying he didn't have flaws, but he was a hard hitting brave guy, who always came in the ring in shape.
Today's batch have got the potential to surpass him , but they haven't done so yet, so let's not be so disparaging about him.
What if Fury and AJ lost their next fights? And are Haye's achievements at HW any better than Bruno? Is Haye's victory over Valuev better than Bruno's v McCall? And are Bruno's efforts v Lewis and Tyson 1 worse than Haye's effort v Wlad? Just saying.😄
Haye always gets a free pass in public opinion and everyone here knows it.
He seems to have friends in high places in order to secure shortcuts to the top.
If they do fight, I hope Joshua knocks him into the 3rd row.
Fury has just surpassed him. Winning multiple world titles in his first challenge against the universally recognised best fighter in the world!;DQuote:

While it was a good victory, he's done LITERALLY nothing else yet. Otherwise by your line of thinking , Buster Douglas is one of the ATG's and definitely one of the top 3 HW's of the last 30 years.
Bruno would have koed fury in the first half of the fight

One fight doesnt make a whole career but to beat the best heavyweight in the world and a genuine contender for an all time top ten place and was as hig as 7th in some ratings easily surpasses anything Bruno achieved!:cool:Quote:

Bruno lost to a fellow contender before he even got a title shot then he failed at the first attempt against a lesser champ when the recognised best was Holmes.
You are arguing for the sake of it and I dont mind because everyone else can clearly see you are wrong.
Oh also, randomly putting the biggest upset in sports history in as any kind of argument to say that Douglas beats eveyones career is pathetic. I didnt say Fury had a better career, although its clear he will. I said hes already surpassed Bruno for the reasons above you mug!:rolleyes:
". I didnt say Fury had a better career, although its clear he will. I said hes already surpassed Bruno for the reasons above you mug! "
Isn't saying Fury has surpassed Bruno the same as saying he's had a better career?
And as for "although it's clear that he will" is it? Again , not a fact , just Ross sucking cock again.
The Douglas/Tyson comparison is entirely appropriate because you're putting Fury on a pedestal for one fight. I highlighted the comparison for the very same rationale.
And btw , you can put as many smiley and rolling eyes emojis at the end of your posts as you like, but it doesn't hide the FACT that you're a dopey sap that , when struggling to give a FACTUAL reasonable answer , reverts to nonsensical but bollocks as highlighted in other threads by other people.
Fury's win is better than any Bruno had. He'll never be half as popular though, the minute he gets chinned he'll be rubbished.
If they fought - Bruno would be a trembling wreck at the press conference let alone in the ring staring up at that giant nutty sod.
Primo when you beat a top ten all time fighter who was seen as leagues above everyone else in the division comfortably in their own back yard on their own promotion you arent just a flash in the pan.
Bruno would smash fury and wlad on the same night
