If Bruno had been bought up in an American gym he could have been alot better.
He was good but not great. He didnt seem to know how to deal with adversity. If hed had better fighters to spar with as an amteur and coming through the pros hed have learnt better head movement, not to be so stiff and tense, load up on all his shots and tire himself out.
He didnt have a bad chin, it just wasnt too hard to find and unfortunately he fought some huge punchers like Tyson, Lewis, Witherspoon and Smith who managed to find his chin as he tired and slowed down in the bouts.

If Bruno had the right political connections that Tyson had from King then Frank could have made a routine defence against Tucker, unified the title from Seldon and possibly fought Hipp and made some more money. Foreman would probably have been too afraid to fight Bruno, and Frank would have had to avoid Lewis and Holyfield for as long as possible because he would have been beaten by them anyway.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

At his best I agree, though I don't know how good Tucker still was at that point. What's for sure is that Bruno had no course of action that would allow him to remain champion while making as much money as he did against Tyson, and given he retired after that fight he probably didn't have the desire to find out.
