I believe you misunderstood the context in which I meant that, Frank Bruno wasn't "constantly hurt", he wasn't always rocked like that in fact he took a fair few good solid shots from really hard punchers and shook them off, but when on occasion he did get rocked his reaction was always similar to what we saw in that clip and I have a hard time thinking of a fighter who reacted similarly. Most fighters when hurt they'll move or attempt to move and there's where the knockdowns come from, but it's as if Frank Bruno's mind was saying "We're fucked" but his body was saying "We're still in this" because he was still standing, he just wasn't moving.
I didn't mean it to read like all you had to do was crack Bruno once and he'd be done for, he certainly weathered through more than his fair share of times being rocked, but in his knockout losses he was turned into a sitting duck because of how he reacted when he was hurt....he was a hell of a fighter, I only wish he got to fight more of the top names in the 90's but that wasn't to be.
Hell even in the 1980's why couldn't there have been a Holmes vs Bruno fight? That would have been fucking class! There are dozens of fighters I wish Bruno had fought, I am not trying to hate on the guy. Bruno vs Rudduck would have been bad as hell too!
you said that you couldn't think of another fighter who was constantly hurt like that
implying that you thought Bruno was constantly hurt
and youre still a balloon

Winky Wright- a fighter who could pary his jab. Aside from Hop's dirty tactics, once he sacrificed his jab to pary Winky's jab; he had nothing else.
Jermaine Taylor: workrate. He just has no stamina to go beyond 10 rounds with any fighter that fights hard. 12 rounds.
Juan Diaz Outside game was his kryptonite. Great inside game only.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
Jermain Taylor reached a level of success and just decided he didn't have to work on improving.
I caught up with him real fast too. Talk about a short prime. He really blew an opportunity for greatness.
A huge one was that Lewis was a fucking lazy fuck who would not train so up fat or strait over look the guy he was fighting but when he was on he was best around. Also with Bruno he lacked ring iq he had no idea how to deal with being badly rocked for the love of god take a knee dude.
