    I think it was conceivable, given Lewis' shaky chin, that Bruno could've ko'ed Lewis. Lewis wasn't all that good early in his career.

      Yeah, as i remember he really shook Lewis up in the 3rd round of their fight. Bruno wasn`t great and he did talk a talk and never walked the walk but he did give value for money. He was out gunned at times but never quit, he took his lumps against Tyson and Lewis etc..
      The problem was he did fight the best of the era. Tyson was the man, lewis was the man and he had to fight McCall to win the title. Kinda think with Bruno`s power that if he processed that if he had the heart and desire of Evander Holyfield he might have beat Tyson the 2nd time. However, he stands as is. A decent heavyweight who failed when he fought world class opponents!

          Bruno is a joke
          Some people are being way too harsh on big Frank. OK so he was certainly no all time great, but he was a good fighter and was heavyweight champion of the world! (and he had Tyson in trouble in the 1st round!)

          And if you're referring to his mental illness, that's just pathetic.

            By all accounts a great guy and a brave warrior. I wish him the best in his recovery.

                Bruno was a solid fighter, with tremendous punching power, wobbled tyson in the first round with a left hook in their first fight, he was very strong had a great reach, he didn't really had a bad chin, but he didnt had that killer instinct. Like someone mentioned he didn't know how to react when hurt. i think if he fought know he would be champion.

                    I remember watching Frank early in his career knock some Scandinavian guy out with a jab. Frank's trouble was he was too nice and went into panic mode when someone tagged him. I seem to remember he was doing allright against Witherspoon and Bonecrusher Snith until he got caught late on.

                    Lol

                      Bruno hadnt got a bad chin, his TKO losses (Tyson apart) were more to do with starting too quickly and then running out of steam than anyhting else
