Comments Thread For: New Bruno-Tyson Documentary is a Nostalgic KO

[Sid-Knee]

The hearniacs don’t even know who these two are

Point out the "Hearniacs" that supposedly don't know Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno? Give me names and tell me why you came to this absurd conclusion about them?

But it's clear you're just projecting your typical insanity as per usual.

“I would have reigned supreme if it wasn’t for Iron Mike Tyson,”

No, there were 10 other h/ws better than you Frank. You could no more have been world h/w champion than I could've been, & I'm 5'10 & 150ibs.

Lennox Lewis called Bruno a coconut and an Uncle Tom?

I didn't realize how mean spirited he was.

Frank was getting a bit carried away there. Bless him. Good fighter, huge puncher, biscuit chin.

I thought it was a very good doco, and you don't get many good ones nowadays.

The comments above show how Bruno's career was affected by his out of ring persona and career choices. 40 wins, 38 knockouts. World Champion. Hardly a guy worthy of mocking.

5 losses were all against world level fighters (Tyson, Witherspoon, Lewis, and Smith) and the three that weren't at the hands of Tyson he was winning and got caught by big shots.

I was glad the documentary touched on his mental health issues without giving it more time than it deserved. Some of the press around that time was disgustingly brutal.

The docu can't be any worse than the fights......

Who is his best win, though ?

[KingGilgamesh]

Bahahahahahaha! Iron Mike = poor man's prime Povetkin. You win the Roger Mayweather "You Don't Know $*^! About Boxing" award for the month of March. Nothing against Sasha though, he's a good fighter when he's not having fights cancelled b/c of all his doping.

LOL dude legit said never was Povetkin whose best win is against another plodding never was in Whyte somehow is a better version of a guy who beat the likes of Leon Spinks, Holmes, and Berbick with ease. Povetkin lost decisively the both times he stepped up to world level. Hilariously bad take.

I'm not trying to split Ali and Holmes here, so 'best win' doesn't come into it. He beat contenders like Tillis, and Carl Williams and a former champion in Coetzee. Obviously his best win was his title win against McCall. Plus efforts at championship level where he showed he belonged in that company.

He was beating the guys that the best were beating. He just fell short in that top company. He was far from a joke.

Bruno was Britains answer for Alex Stewart. High ko % and little else.
I don't see how their fights warranted a doc. Their fights were hardly competitive or memorable (for me at least).
