    Bruno was gone, Lewis was measuring him for the right, the ref could of arguable stopped it before that as Bruno was 'gone'.

    What it does show is that Bruno did not have a soft chin. He may of lacked the instincts when hurt, and only got it right when Francis programmed it into him to hold when hurt, but his chin was sound.

    Looked brutal though.

    That's Boxing though ain't it Brock. Personally I don't rate Marciano. Never have. Moore and Walcott were both past their best and they still put him on his arse. He had 40 odd fights against not great fighters before finally fighting for the title in his 43rd fight. Look at the records of a lot of the guys to face him. He stopped fighting at 32? and yet still most people have him in their top ten. Great heart but ATG? I am not so sure. I believe there are a heap of heavyweights who could have beaten him from different eras but that is just supposition and opinion on my part. It's what makes the fight game so great.

    that is boxing, yep. Rocky shoulda fought 2 more times Ive always said he needed to smoke Floyd in '56 and 1 more guy maybe Nino Valdez or even Sonny Liston, but no doubt needed to retire by mid-'57 latest. There really wasnt nobody around at that time so you cant fault him, yes he got put on his ass twice, big shots too, but still smoked 'em a few rounds later. He was dwarfed by everybody, and Don Cockell was no pushover, outweighed Rocky by 30 pounds.

    this is about Lennox.
    @Memphis yes he will be crushed, he'll read it by this Saturday and I aint hangin around his part of London as he will hunt me down and hold my hed and throw an uppercut but he will need to get down on his knees as I am 166 cm. My cock I mean.

    Bruno came to fight and Lewis was lazy for long stretches of the fight. Lewis survived due to his power and his brains.
