FRANK BRUNO ????????

Frank had really heavy hands and a good solid jab 40 wins 38 KO's where would he be placed in the list of big hitters?

He could have done a lot better with the power that he had.
No combo's, couldn't fight on the inside, but very muscular and powerfull
A gentleman indeed, very humorous for a fighter

Big Franks power was always a bit of a mystery to me as i watched his career ,
againest fringe fighters it was awsome he used to blow away lesser oposition.
Athough he hit the bigger name fighters with the same punches , he didnt seem to knock many over,
i think at the higher level fighters could ride the punches better as Bruno lacked sharpness in his shots.
a fantastic worker and good guy , but its hard to rate his power for the reasons i have just explained.
i remember a weak chinned Carl Williams lasting into the tenth before being bludgend to the floor, Williams as we know was KOED by Tyson and Weaver easily.
So i would say big power , huge strength, but just lacked timing and sharpness at the very highest level.
im interested to read the other views on here

When Frank was prepareing for fights Ive known him have as many as 6 sparring partners in camp. Theres a reason for that to give some time off. I talked to them who had sparred with all the good fighters of the time, all said Frank was the hardest hitter which I found interesting. One day he hit a guy in the chest and crushed his sternam he could hit.

Dark you make a good point. The trouble with Frank was confidence this he lacked.

Yes i agree he did lack that confidence and a bit of killer instinct.
but hey i wouldnt like to take a dig of Frank lol

Great power, just a terrrible defence after been caught with a decent shot, never covered up and just left his chin out to dry. Even the fights he losts (apart from Tyson fights) he was ahead when stopped.
I.e Bonecrusher, Witherspoon, Lewis.

Let's not forget the he fired mostly one powerpunch at a time and against the top that was not enough

He was behind on all cards in the Witherspoon fight I think.

He did have the power just not the aggression. I reckon he hit as hard as Tyson, trouble is he only ever through jabs really.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

He was one of the 1st to wobble Tyson

Got to be carefull here, Just to say Frank was very aware and nervous of his role shall we say. We sat down often, when on his own he would open up He is one beutifull person when relaxed.

I saw that fight on BBC.
At the end of the 1st round he caught Tyson with a good punch
But boy did he pay for it !!

[DarkDestroyer]

I even bought a bottle of HP's Frank Bruno's HotSauce just becaule i liked him so much !!

[Tysonbruno]

Franks main problem was when hurt he would'nt take a knee and take an 8 count even Nigel Benn said this about him he would just freeze when caught by a big shot. He was a massive puncher though

[Dark Lord Al]

Actually i just thought of a way to describe Franks power
It was like the OLD George Foremans , big power not much sharpness .
YOU AGREE ?
