I know your big fan of Lewis Daxx but i have to be honest with you mate i think Lewis was quite poor against Bruno. His balance was poor and he was badly getting out jabbed. He was also rocked a few times as well. Props to Lewis for coming back though but still i did think it was a little poor in this fight.
Tyson aside though Bruno gave EVERYBODY a hard fight. He was even the first man to stagger Tyson and was ahead on the cards of against Lewis, Witherspoon and Smith at the time of the losses I think.

He was dangerous early but just ran out of steam late becuase of his extreme musculature.

But Bruno wasn't far away from being a great fighter imo. If he was fighting now he'd definitely bring some excitiement back to the division. In his prime he could knock out the likes of Chambers, Brock, Ibragimov and Maskaev with a jab.
No Bruno wasn't the first man to stagger Tyson, Tucker stunned Tyson with an uppercut in the 1st round, in fact it lifted Tyson off his feet, and also Bonecrusher staggered Tyson in the last 10 seconds of there fight with a right hand to the temple.

Bruno was a good fighter in fact had he beat Bonecrusher he would of fought Larry Holmes i would have loved to have seen that, but anyway yes Bruno was good fighter he had a good jab, good power, and i know some people may be shocked at this but he had a better chin than he is given credit for, big downfalls for Bruno was he didn't have survival instincts he never clinched or went down on the one knee instead he would just lay on the ropes and get hammered.

I remember he gave Witherspoon a bit of boxing lesson until he got caught with a hard right hand, in fact they both hit each other at the same time with there best shots but difference is Witherspoon has a better chin so he took the punch unlike Bruno. He also had too much muscle IMO so he was very robotic and he had bad stamina, he also suffered from confidence problems IMO. But if Bruno was in this era he would beat Wlad and beat any Heavyweight out there IMO.
