Bruno could never take a knee .. fight clean fight hard .. Lennox was lucky to get that left hook though, Frank was winning imho. However, Lennox would go on to be the lineal HW champ. Can't take that away from him.. It was a good clean fight. Lewis was always dangerous when hurt.
I don't agree with your judgement on the Lewis v Bruno fight, Lewis arguably won rounds 1, 4 & 6, it was a close fight with Bruno maybe just edging it slightly going into Round 7, your coverage showed awful bias towards Bruno, who didn't have the better jab at all, Lewis obviously went for the knockout early & neglected to use his jab, whereas Bruno got off to the faster start & made better use of his jab but was practically a one eyed fighter by the start of Round 7 & it was just a matter of time before Lewis caught up with him, there was nothing lucky about Lewis' victory at all.
Yes against bums against class he couldn’t do it. He was no Lennox Lewis or Tyson or Big Daddy Bow or even Holyfield . He lacked class. Also some boxers have a granite chins which Bruno lacked, Bruno didn’t have endurance which he lacked , with all that lactic acid in his muscles.
@@Red-Revolution708 And yet, despite all of these things that he supposedly “lacked”, he became the heavyweight of the world and a very wealthy man. And what have you accomplished in YOUR life?! 😂😂😂
Say what you will about Frank One thing he has and still has to this day is LOVE us Brits love him like no other fighter I've ever seen No-one will ever take that from him. Never achieved all he could of. But can hold his head up high. Keep on keeping on bug guy. We love you still brother.xc
Bruno was very well looked after by Terry Lawless and Micky Duff, a decent fighter with good power which didn't translate to elite level, got 4 shots at the heavyweight title because he was box office, always gave a good account of himself at elite level, good career, good story..
FRANK BRUNO IF HE HAD A BIT MORE SELF BELIEVE IN HIS ABILITIES HE STUMBLED TYSON IN FIRST FIGHT. PROBABLY DIDN'T REALISE IT AT THE TIME. OUL FRANK BRUNO I ADMIRED HIM 🇮🇪
I don't know about you but I was burn in 70s and when I was growing up I was always up for 1on1 and back in my days frank wasn't the most gifted boxer but he had the bang the charisma the passion and he was a people person that's what made him a champion 🏆❤
59:07 Bruno-Tyson 1: try this thought, this was the last fight Tyson had trainers that made him train. If Bruno had fought Tyson in Tokyo instead of Buster Douglas, would he have won? I think maybe yes.
Tokyo tyson, tillis would have won and so would tucker, holmes and maybe even spinks, alot of guys tyson beat that gave him some trouble or went some rounds would have probably beat Tokyo tyson Jose ribalta, pinklon Thomas, I think bruno would have koed tyson at that point, but tyson did have that late round power, he dropped douglas in 8 after being hurt, tyson also showed heart, it would have been interesting
Bouno i think didn't know how to finish off someone he got the best of lenox for a while and hurt him a few times same with Witherspoons didn't have the best chin and was always later rounds when he got hurt he dropped his hands .
Yes. And no. He's not going to make anyone's top 10 pound-for-pound list. And his defence was suspect, jaw not great, offensive skills, hmm, a bit above average. But he had power. Power enough to make him a legitimate contender. Then in the swim of the top 10 contenders and some will beat him, some he will spark out. He caught a good break to get the title but he wasn't there by accident. Definitely legitimate contender level but he wouldn't trouble Ali, no. And he was a lovely guy.!
He was a former British and European champion. He was a former WBC number one contender for Tim Witherspoon, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis and Oliver McCall. Do you know anything about boxing?
@@liaa4172 I’d be curious to know why you do think so. Bruno was a beautiful specimen in physique, with real punching power. He also seems to be a likable person. The term “legend” is normally applied to someone who has had a truly remarkable career. Rocky Marciano, Salvador Sanchez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Manny Pacquiao, George Foreman, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Henry Armstrong, Tyson, Frazier, Lewis, Klitchko (both)… these are names, among many others, who are often described as legendary fighters. One rarely hears of Mayweather as being “legendary” except in his own mind, or Tommy Morrison, or even the great Larry Holmes, who was vastly under-rated and would have walked through most of today’s heavyweights like a trip to the playground. Bruno was a hard-hitting man able to hurt anyone he hit cleanly. He wasn’t the best boxer and his chin was suspicious. I think his career is quite notable, but doesn’t make “legend” status. I’m not insulting him, you, or anyone else, as all are entitled to their own option. This is just mine.
@@liaa4172 Britain has produced legendary fighters. Ricky Hatton, Nigel Benn, Barry McGuigan, Chris Eubank, Lennox Lewis, Turpin, Fitzimmons, and Calzaghe, among others, come to mind. I think Fury will be considered legendary for a few reasons. I have less confidence in AJ, not as a fighter but as an ambassador of his own legacy. How many people would think Ali was “The greatest” if he wasn’t constantly telling them that? AJ has a tougher road because he faced tougher guys who exposed his game. Fury was more selective and apart from a massive misstep with Ngannou, has performed very well. It may be that Bruno is one day considered a legendary fighter. It’s a noble thing to hope so.
Awesome Video about "True Brit" Frank Bruno
Still admired and loved
Frank was truly a gentle giant, undoubtedly one of the hardest punches in history, a true BRITISH TREASURE ♥️🇬🇧
Bruno could send your brain into another universe with just his Jab.. Its like being hit in the face by a sledge hammer.
He had a fantastic Arm Reach

Brilliant tribute to Frank
Frank Bruno's body was amazing. F*cking guy looked like an action figure 😮
Bruno could never take a knee .. fight clean fight hard .. Lennox was lucky to get that left hook though, Frank was winning imho. However, Lennox would go on to be the lineal HW champ. Can't take that away from him.. It was a good clean fight. Lewis was always dangerous when hurt.
I still have a VHS from 1995 about Bruno very good doc
This man never misses

He was one of the hardest punchers in boxing history!
Undoubtlingly!

@@GloveWarriors I’m sure GERRIE COETZEE would agree with that!
Great documentary ❤ i wish Bruno would have fought George Foreman🥊
Imo George would have beat him they both had power but big George had a chin Bruno's chin was suspect at best
@@ripbrutus I agree
Why do you wish bad to Bruno ? 😅
@@dirtyandnasty9011 Not wishing Bruno bad its just fact
@@brad37100 Just kidding !
Say what you will about Frank
One thing he has and still has to this day is
LOVE us Brits love him like no other fighter I've ever seen
No-one will ever take that from him. Never achieved all he could of.
But can hold his head up high.
Keep on keeping on bug guy. We love you still brother.xc
Frank Bruno is realy good men
Mister Bruno is realy good and intelligent men, all respect

You gotta ❤ Frank 😂😂😂😂
Bruno Bruno Bruno Bruno 😂😂
Bruno was and is so loved in Britain. Great heart and just a lovely guy in and out of the ring (except for those rabbit punches 😂).
I'll give him credit he was persistent. Even though he had a suspect chin he kept at it
Did you put the part in where they had him play Juliette in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliette? That's love....
Tim Witherspoon Vs Frank Bruno HBO pre-fight if you'd like to see for yourself.
Hits than modern days heavy weights

Frank takes on lightweights these days.
❤
58:36 do not try to intimidate Mike Tyson lol
Y'all act like he ain't hurt Tyson 😅
Is Allen a boxeur?
Is anirlson a boxeur?)
Frank Was like Mr sandman from punch Out
AJ must have got his mother’s jaw. Not his real dad’s one
Bouno i think didn't know how to finish off someone he got the best of lenox for a while and hurt him a few times same with Witherspoons didn't have the best chin and was always later rounds when he got hurt he dropped his hands .

Bruno is no Legend!!
I’m sorry Frank was a nice guy but not a world class fighter fact.
Yet he was still a world champion also a fact.
Yes. And no. He's not going to make anyone's top 10 pound-for-pound list. And his defence was suspect, jaw not great, offensive skills, hmm, a bit above average. But he had power. Power enough to make him a legitimate contender.

Listen Bruno was dangerous to any heavyweight in any era! He had Tyson hurt, lewis, bonecrusher, witherspoon
Butzek a pour man
Frank was a bum! Super overrated!
Cry about it 😂
Calling glass chin bruno one of the greatest is the biggest joke ever. Frank was one of the biggest hype train in uk history
Glass chin eh...
