How many times did Frank Bruno fight Lennox Lewis?

[Kev]

I know your big fan of Lewis Daxx but i have to be honest with you mate i think Lewis was quite poor against Bruno. His balance was poor and he was badly getting out jabbed. He was also rocked a few times as well. Props to Lewis for coming back though but still i did think it was a little poor in this fight.

Tyson aside though Bruno gave EVERYBODY a hard fight. He was even the first man to stagger Tyson and was ahead on the cards of against Lewis, Witherspoon and Smith at the time of the losses I think.

He was dangerous early but just ran out of steam late becuase of his extreme musculature.

But Bruno wasn't far away from being a great fighter imo. If he was fighting now he'd definitely bring some excitiement back to the division. In his prime he could knock out the likes of Chambers, Brock, Ibragimov and Maskaev with a jab.

I agree Bruno was a very good fighter...Great skill...Just in the wrong era...The 1990's is the second greatest era in HW history...He did manage to be a World champion in that era though even if only briefly....I agree Bruno's biggest downfalls were his extra bulk that caused stamina issues....IMO his psyche was not all that great after his loss to Tyson the first time but all in all he had a career to be proud of

He was Britains first heavyweight champ since Bob Fitzsimmons and in his day was 10 times more popular with us Brits than Lewis was.

The support for Bruno against Lewis was immense. Few actually thought he would win but I'd estimate 80% at least of the the UK was rooting for him in that fight.

Lewis was just never that popular with us Brits. I still don't regard him as a British to this day really.

Sure he grew up in West Ham as a kid but his entire career both in boxing and outside of it has been in the US, Canada and Jamaica.

I don't criticise him for it, I mean he's living the dream, huge star in America and a great career over there as a fighter and now as a broadcaster.

But I'll never regard him as British.

To me Bruno was our last heavyweight champ
