    Lewis caught Bruno with a peach of a punch and won not because Bruno was tired but because Bruno's inability to hold and survive when he was hurt.

    The Bruno fight was one of the WORST performances in Lennox Lewis' career. Lennox got lazy in more than his fair share of fights and in the Bruno fight he was lazy the entire fight until he landed that punch.

    Just my opinion though

    Bruno had a great left hand jab and he plainted his feet really good when unloaing big heavy shots.Bruno was the first heavyweight pro to rock Tyson when their met.If you watch it i believe Bruno rocks Tyson to the core with a great left hand.Tyson was surerly trouble for a bit and if Bruno had longer in that particular round he would KO'd or stopped Tyson.Watch it again and you'll know what i mean.If only!!!!

    Haha slightly optimistic about the affect of that ounch mate. Bonecrusher and Tucker (who rocked him worse than anybody before Douglas) hurt him before Bruno did

    It was a good punch but the moment lasted only a second and Tyson was firing back almost immediately, anyone else would have been flattened by the punch but Tyson had a very good chin back then.

    Yvonne you sound like Harry Carpenter.

    I would not say it is far fetched to think Bruno would have won......Lennox had yet to reach his peak when he faced Bruno and if you watched the fight it was a horrible performance he gave against Bruno...He was impatient and throwing punches with reckless abandon.....Even when he finished Bruno he was not all that accurate....

    At their peaks Bruno was no where near the class of a prime Lennox Lewis....Bruno for some reason had problems in the really big fights of his career...I don't know if it was stamina or nerves that caused stamina issues for him but he always seemed a bit over anxious and liked to bust his whole wad in the first rounds.....

    yeah he would just fall apart.. he did have stamina issues but watching him hang on against McCall and willing him to survive was painful.

    still can;t belive i picked him to beat Tyson in the rematch

    TBH I didn't think Tyson was not going to get by him so easily in the rematch either...Tyson was a shell of his former self...Bruno had been on a decent streak and he seemed confident....BUT up until the Holyfield fights many guys seemed to have what it took to get by Mike yet they crumbled as well

    Think the stamina was fine as he was coming in,had Lewis on ropes and bringing punches.The eyes closed shot by Lewis took his senses and his legs followed.Helluva shot.
