    bad ring iq? he out boxed lewis for 6 rounds, and witherspoon and was winning by miles against bonecrusher before he lost

    his ring iq was very good, if fights were 6 rounds he'd have been an unbeatable champion
    He did indeed lead comfortable going into the tenth against Bonecrusher, but he was not out boxing Lewis; that is a myth.

    I was there and although I went as a Bomber supporter, most of the people I went with wanted Lennox to win.

    Bruno was edging it, but at no time were any of my friends concerned. The fight was close enough for Lennox fans to think 'it will be only a matter of time, until Lewis strikes'; and he did with over five rounds to spare!

    The 'outboxing' thing makes me chuckle, it is nearly as silly as when The Truth pointed out he landed 21 punches to Tyson's 19 before their fight was stopped in a little over 90 seconds...

    The thing is with Bruno is that he did not have any idea what to do when he was hurt which i feel takes away from his ring iq i mean that big problem. Bruno when hurt would just stand there open ready to get punch in the face as much as he could just not very smart.

    he was outboxing him

    how many time do people watch a fight where a favourite is losing, expecting him to find the KO and it never comes

    the KO punch was a hail mary thrown by a man who had run out of ideas

    and either way, outboxing him or a close fight, proves Bruno has ring iq

    Let it go with Bruno!

    He got tired and most fighters knew they could try and take him late. Bruno was holding on for dear life against Oliver.

    Bruno was a low iq fighter who had not idea what to do when he got clocked, had bad stamina, and his chin was on the border of being bad. He managed to beat McCall but lost to everyone else in title fight he manged to lose to them all he could box and had power but could never be the best.

    It's a bit harsh having a pop at Bruno, saying he could never be the best. With Britain's "12 World Champions" today that everybody wanks all over, how many of them are the best? Until 6 months ago, Bruno was proven to be the best HW this country ever created.
    Lennox Lewis was Canadian/Jamaican, and even if you don't believe that, you can't say he was created over here, he won an Olympic Gold medal for another country ffs.
    Nobody has a pop at Henry Cooper.

    Yea but i do not rank cooper at all so why call him shit i know he was nothing great to begin with. He got a shot on ali then got his ass kicked and then got his ass kicked by a old Paterson. I would not waste my time even calling Cooper bad already know who was not elite.
