All I remember is Lewis gassing and gassing BAD. Vitali was bleeding like a fountain though but he seemed the fresher of the two in terms of stamina.
That is what I also observed.
that fight was awesome if not for that unlucky cut it might went down as one best fight in heavyweight history those giants were landing strait up nukes
Yes it was. Always exciting seeing giants throwing bombs and at the same time moving at the pace of smaller weight divisions.
No, not elite. Elite has to do with longevity and durability at the very top. Elite is Lennox for instance, not Bruno.
Thanks everyone for the input. I can finally put this to rest that Bruno wasn't elite.
You dont become some level of champion and not be elite ,his one biggest flaw was stamina but had successful wins otherwise .Only one person ever truly dominated him and that was Tyson when he was still relatively good,i think he gets a pass there.One exception to this rule would be guys like Carnera and Valuev level fighters.
He did give Lewis a good fight, although I heard lewis wasn't 100%.
I might take prime Lewis over prime Tyson, but otherwise I'd always pick prime Iron Mike over anyone else.
Good input. I guess the line for Lewis-Tyson is pretty accurate?
No way, he's 50 years old and hasn't fought in 13 years. When he left boxing, there were just a couple of top guys his height/size, Vitali, Wlad. Now there's top guys his height/size all over the place, that even tower over him. Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Wlad, Martin same height, Ortiz is an inch shorter. This is a much different state of HW div than in 2003 when Lewis, Vitali, Wlad were like the only good tall heavies. In 2001-2003 the next tall guy after Lewis was Corrie Sanders, everyone else was much shorter than Vit, Wlad, and Lennox.
That makes sense.

Nope he lost his dreads. All his strength was in his hair.
hahahahahahahaha
this fight is by far the biggest in either boxing or mma atm
Which is pretty sad considering one of them was thoroughly embarrassed by mayweather, while the other one is a glorified bum beater.
Holyfield was juiced to the point of looking like some dragon ball z character against Tyson.
I personally don't count either of those two fights against him.
Those ESPN Classic fights are voiced-over later on. The live version would have the HBO crew with Lampley, Merchant and someone else can't remember who it was for that fight. one of my favorite fights too
Thanks for the answers. Have a good night!
Lol understandable. I used to be terrified of getting a chick I barely know pregnant. Fuking nightmare. But pron isn't good for you, guess you'll save money though
I'm terrible with relationships because I have no problem kissing and feeling up a woman, but when she asks for sex, I cower away and they end up breaking up. I've had a chance to bang legit 8/10's and 8.5/10's, but I let them slip away. I even get paranoid from a blow job, because I think a woman would actually save the sperm in her mouth and finger herself with it to get pregnant. I've heard too many stories about stuff like that. There are a lot of miserable guys out in the world that are miserable because they ended up getting some chick pregnant and he ends up paying child support for 18 years.
I absolutely hate it.
Your father is right.
Duran was in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (i grew up in the DR) singing salsa on TV with his band and that was a few weeks before the fight.
He was overweighted and drinking like a madman in the DR at the time.
And it was literally a few weeks before the fight.
This is EXACTLY what he always goes on about. You nailed it.
