    1st off Bruno is more popular than Lewis, and 2nd Hatton more popular than Calzaghe, but in the case of Hatton and Calzaghe I don't think it's because Hatton is from England, even in wales Hatton is more popular than Calzaghe because of his style, and also a lot of the welsh people from near and around where Calzaghe comes from don't actually like him because of his attitude, he is supposed to be an arrogant arsehole. And anyone that say's Lewis is really canadian is just plain ignorant. Born in britain, west ham, london he had a british passport, and when his mum moved to canada he went to live with her in canada, while boxing for them because of convenience and money, it would have been impossible fighting in the amatuers from britain unless he was stinking rich. He always held his british passport and when turning pro came back to england that's where his true heart lay, in the country he was born in. How many kids of 11 would have stayed on their own, or would have been allowed to for that matter. So just because he boxed for them in the olympics doesn't make him canadian.

      Watch the fight and get your FACTS right. Bruno caught Tyson with a terrific punch FACT. Tyson was throwing at the same time and got caught off balance FACT. Tyson did not wobble one bit FACT.

        from the dictionary:-

        –verb (used without object) - WOBBLE -
        1. to incline to one side and to the other alternately, as a wheel, top, or other rotating body when not properly balanced.
        2. to move unsteadily from side to side: The table wobbled on its uneven legs.
        3. to show unsteadiness; tremble; quaver: His voice wobbled.
        4. to vacillate; waver.
        –verb (used with object) 5. to cause to wobble.
        –noun 6. a wobbling movement.

        Tyson was wobbled in the true sense of the word, but if Big George Foreman was hopping up and down on one leg and he was pushed by Screech from saved by the bell then big george would have wobbled.

        Bruno didnt hit tyson whilst steady on his legs and make him wobble from being hurt.

        So in boxing terms Bruno never wobbled Tyson. The first person to wobble Tyson would be James Buster Douglas, who would then be the first of many.

          Very Good I like it. I still say though Smith, then Tucker as alghough for the briefest of moments Tyson was unsteady on his legs against them two, check no.3. As for Bruno though he never wobbled Tyson.

          Also I think it's hilarious that considering the title of the thread, everything has turned round into an argument about? Guess Who? Yes Tyson, let's see what other threads that have nothing to do with Tyson, we can turn round into an argument about him. LOVE him or HATE him, he'll always be around and the main topic of conversation. That's one thing he will go down as the greatest for, the greatest most talked about and hyped about boxer ever.

          I've just had a great idea, i'm gonna do a competition for the best turnaound.

            Yeah Tyson was impossible to hurt by anyone in the world. He only lost to Douglas because Douglas is a robot cyborg from another planet. There is absolutely no reason to think that a man who finished with 38 knockouts in 40 wins could possibly punch hard, so the only logical explanation is that Tyson was off balance, and also doing a cheeky fart and playing along for the cameras.

                Can't you read, take that back obviously from manchester so no you can't. I actually said Smith and then Tucker were the first, not no one ever. And I never said Bruno couldn't punch hard, so don't start plucking things out the air that I ain't said. Try reading the article I created about Bruno, I actually like him and think he had a devastating punch and could have been so much better. But FACT he never wobbled Tyson, I blame the commentator with his FIGHTING BACK and hes HURT TYSON. He never hurt him one bit. Don't know what your problem is, if you disagree then fair enough come up with a decent explanation why, you don't have to get all touchy, is it that time of the month. Or are you missing Manchester and them Yanks beginning to get to ya, come back home then. I'll forgive you the touchiness this once maybe you were just having a bad day, we all get them.

                  Tyson himself said he had never been hit that hard after the Bruno fight. He was wobbled big time.

                  And we have to be able to read in Manchester, otherwise how would we know which football team to support?
