    Bruno is credited to be the one to first wobble him by boxrec. there first fight of course.. it's gotta be right, haha.

    i think he was tight in the benn/g-man fight. bright ass orange suit, right next to don king, almost in the ropes slapping at the ring shouting on nigel. cool ****.

      A few British fighters come to mind as popular: Benn, Eubank, Calzaghe, Hamed.

      But, between Bruno and Lewis...

      I'll say Bruno was more likable by the British crowd, and Lewis was the more accomplished and is probably more popular now since he beat Tyson.

        yeah its clearly Bruno, but thats only cos he appeals to people outside of
        boixing, by going on rubbish daytime tv shows aimed at housewives, where he talks about his 'problems'

              I've not been living in the UK for the past three years but I can tell you this: In Manchester and surrounding areas it's Hatton without a shadow of a doubt.

                    Frank Bruno wasn't the first to wobble Tyson, in fact I don't think he wobbled him at all, more a case of off balance, the first to wobble Tyson was Tony Tucker with a vicious uppercut.

                    Sorry I forgot about Smith in the 12th round, Smith then Tucker and not Bruno because he never wobbled him. Bruno nuthuggers are worse than Tyson nuthuggers and will always believe this
