No, he beat Oliver McCall for the title where he was holding on to dear life with help of the ref.
Popular fighter and great individual. Sir Bruno

Seriously?
Takam, Glazkov, Thompson, Chagaev, Pulev are all ranked inside the top 10 today.
Bruno at his best was better than they are.

No,, never elite, but was just a tier below... Bruno was a legit world class heavyweight,, just never great or the bestLast edited by Sugar Adam Ali; 11-16-2015, 03:41 PM.

What hurts bruno the most was that he really didn't have any signature wins.. He had a bunch of signature fights vs tyson, lennox, witherspoon,, but never a signature win besides outpointing mccall
Would have liked to seen bruno mix it up with guys like moorer, Golata, cooper, dokes, evander, mercer, Morrison.. Frank always seemed to have a winning streak fighting club fighters, then cashing in on a big fight, getting beat, then repeating the whole process over again..

Im actually suprised he didnt cross paths with the likes of morrison, mercer or ruddock?
Morrison, possibly, but Mercer and Ruddock almost certainly would have decapitated him!
