    Sippin on a 40oz late last night and started wondering how come Frank Bruno didn't..

    Fight many top tier fighters?

    No fight with Bowe, Holyfield, Foreman, Tua, Morrison, Ruddock.

    Pretty unacceptable seeing as he was the face of England at the time.

        Bruno had a solid resume (mainly losses) of Lewis, Tyson x2, McCall, Bonecrusher Smith, Tim Witherspoon.

        Also beat a couple of fringe guys like Carl the Truth Williams, Coetzee (The South African who beat Dokes) and he also beat the ghost of Joe Bugner.

            I mean, like Tyson, he fought who was around in the '80s & early '90s.

            James "Bonecrusher" Smith and Tim Witherspoon were top heavyweights, so was Tyson (obviously), Lennox, and McCall.

            That was about as good as you were gonna do in the late '80s/early '90s.

                  Frank Bruno only lost to Champions.

                  Mike Tyson Twice, Lennox Lewis, Bone Crusher Smith and Tim Witherspoon.

                  He was competitive in all of the fights accept his rematch with Mike Tyson, he was beating both Bone Crusher Smith & Tim Witherspoon before the stoppages. Frank Bruno was a well school fighter GOOD fundamentals, with a solid Jab and big punching power.

                  Bruno only lost to champions and beat Oliver McCall, Bruno was not at his best during that fight ether 'His absolute peak was vs Lennox Lewis' again may have even been winning that fight before the stoppage, but it was clear Lewis had afew more gears to go through during the fight.

                  Solid Career.
