    I was glad for Big Frank that night.

    He wasn't the best fighter, but he stuck at it & eventually achieved his goal.

    He's a really nice guy & a credit to boxing.

    I still have a McDonalds receipt that he signed for me in 1993, when I saw him in McDonalds in Hornchurch, with his wife & daughter.

    No way would Bruno visit a McDonalds. Anyone going to start a missing Herbie Hide thread or Henry Akinwande.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Frank Bruno was that era's Hasim Rahman....big power, trouble with stamina, trouble when hurt, decent skill, never fully realized his potential, and only had the title for a tiny bit of time...that said, Rahman lit Lennox Lewis the fuck up with that right cross! (granted the favor was returned dramatically), but Bruno just won a decision vs Oliver McCall....hardly a dramatic win. You may be within reason to compare Bruno to Sam Peter even.

    Let's be serious, Frank is a favorite because he's English...people like him the way they like all your other flawed sports stars, he's not the greatest, but he's someone you Brits can relate to.

    What you trying to say we are flawed and not the greatest.

    No, I'm trying to say your country has embraced the guys who are solid competitors but just can't get it done...examples: England National football, Prince Naseem Hamed, Kirkland Laing, Herol Graham, Gary Mason.

    He was in there with his wife & daughter; maybe it was for their benefit.

    I certainly won't be starting a thread to say I'm missing Hide or Akinwande, but I'm sure they have fans out there, which is against any laws that I'm aware of.
