Bruno was never the best Heavyweight in the world. At the time he was WBC champ, George Foreman had the lineal title & Riddick Bowe was the only one you could argue was a better HW at that point.

Carl Froch has never really had a hold on the #1 spot at 168, as at least one of Kessler, Bute & Ward have all been ranked above him whilst he was WBC champ.
