    Bruno is a hero and very underrated

    I think you're being very kind to Frank.

    He was losing to Witherspoon and was detroyed twice by Tyson and once by Lewis (although he won the jab war in the early rounds against Lewis) He was hanging on for dear life against McCall, thank god that fight didn't last another 30 seconds!
    I haven't seen the Witherspoon fight for a long time, but i remember Bruno being ahead by a few rounds. And 2 of the judges had him ahead by 3 rounds.

    I thought Lennox Lewis was also behind on points, or at worst for Bruno it was an even fight. Its a shame because Bruno had Lewis in trouble a few times, especially in that 7th round, but strangely he didn't take full advantage of it and he allowed Lewis to land that left hook a punch Lewis wasn't known for either.

    I think barring the Tyson fights, Bruno was ahead on points in all his other losses.

    I think barring the Tyson fights and Bruno should never have given Tyson a shot at his TITLE, Bruno was ahead on points in all his other losses.

    I thought that was the case with Witherspoon...I know Whitherspoon came in unfit because he was in argument with Don King about his purse (surprise surprise)......and yes Bruno was doing well against Lewis (I was there)!!!

    and I do beleive Bruno was winning against Bonecrusher until the bad stamina kicked in


    So really Bruno only lost to Tyson and Lewis....the other defeats were due to stamina and DON'T COUNT!!!


    so he should of finished with a nice record of 43-1 (3

    Could any heavyweight hold their glove up to say they are a TRUE FIGHTER.....NOT MANY!!!!

    he never really lost to lewis either coz he was winning the fight by miles and lewis closed his eyes and took a swing and it caught bruno

    luckiest punch in the history of boxing

    lewis says the mccall punch was lucky, well it isnt a patch on the punch that won him the fight against bruno, watch it if you dont believe me, lewis is getting beat up and his eyes are completely shut and he takes a swing

    and bruno couldnt be bothered in the second tyson fight, so that one dunt count either

    so Frank is basically unbeaten yes ??

    Further to previous I reckon bruno would take Wlad around the 5th. He would only have to land once and I reckon Big Frank would be good enough to do that

    HA...load of piss...Bruno was a fun fighter to watch, but he was never top class. You boys think he'd do well in this era? HA...he'd be top 10 no doubt, but he lost to guys like Witherspoon and Smith before...why wouldn't he lose to fighters of a similar calibre now?


    Bruno-Brewster would have been a brawl, vs Morrison, Moorer, Rudduck, and Holyfield would have also been great. Bruno vs Golota...there's a fight Franky could win!

    Yes I discounted the 2nd Tyson fight and yes i do remember Brunos eye...it was gross!!!


    So yer I will count the 1st Tyson loss but even that was covered in controveresy...I know Richard Steele let Tyson foul loads on Bruno but penalized Bruno for holding....Steele & King & Tyson cheating on our British hero.....did Bruno complain or sulk afterwards....NO HE DIDN'T.....FAIR PLAY BRUNO


    Job Biscuit (Bruno is the best Brit we have had...apart from LEWIS but he was slightly CANADIAN)!!!!

    Witherspoon was well conditioned in that fight. In an interview on Box Nations, he said he was well prepared for the fight with Bruno. The fight he was not mentally and physically ready, was the one round KO by Bonecrusher Smith. That was the fight that Tim said he could not care less.

    You telling me Witherspoon came to fight in condition...I don't believe it and if so if thats the reason why Bruno lost then I will have to dismiss this Bruno loss even more....Witherspoon coming to fight in condition...pleeaaazzzz!!!!!

    How did you think Witherspoon took those blows. Also he did not have the best physique.
