i always felt sorry for joe;

he was a very very good talent

he career went to shit when he killed that belgiun fella.

We started at the same time but never met, nearly did once early doors. Joe is a fantastic guy with a great sense of humour and would always have fun putting himself down. One of the good guys and very underated top fella.

Joe Bugner was often too defensive minded and i do question how much his heart was actually in boxing. But when he was at his best he could be a handful as Joe Frazier found out. I remember Frazier decking Bugner in round 9 or 10 with a massive left hook, then Bugner actually got up and wobbled Frazier at the end of the round, and he wobbled Frazier quite a few times in the fight as well. That was probably Bugner's finest performance and it was a great fight and often overlooked classic IMO. I haven't seen Cooper vs Bugner but i heard to ref was biased and that Bugner won a very controversial decision maybe Scrap can tell us about that fight. But Bugner was tough and gave some of the elite fighters of the 70s a good fight he fought Lyle to a SD loss he also went the distance with Ali x2. He also outboxed good fighters like Greg Page, Jimmy Ellis, James Tillis, etc. Overall i think Bugner could of been better had his heart really been in boxing but still a good tough fighter who done very well in 70's considering how strong the Heavyweight division was at the time.
