  1. I remember all his interviews from the 90s. Always elegant with fine suits and ties, refined manners and language, he portrayed a perfect example of a british gentleman, in and out of the ring. His boxing style reflected that, too

  2. people didnt give frank bruno the respect he was due…maybe because he is a fun nice guy.
    but that man right there was hard as nails and could proper box…he took on some real tough men in their primes and came close to knocking them ALL OUT…
    big up my man frank bruno…..period

  3. Bruno only lost to top class fighters – Tyson (twice), Lennox Lewis, Tim Witherspoon and Bonecrusher Smith. He beat everyone else he was put in with including Oliver McCall who had the WBC belt at the time (1995) after knocking Lewis out the previous year and made one successful defense against Larry Holmes. I would have loved to have seen Bruno fight George Foreman at some point before the two retired. I think that would have been a cracking fight. Foreman struggled against Alex Stewart in 1992 and Bruno was a better fighter than Stewart so I would have given Bruno the edge over 'Big George' who was around 43 years old at that time and way past his best.There was so much talent in the heavyweight division in the 1990s it was almost unreal. Today's heavyweights cannot compare with what the 90s produced – not even close.

  4. Love Frank! Special place my heart, always. I was a very young man when he fought Tyson, but I woke in the night specially to listen to that fight. 'Get stuck in Frank!'. And he still does, at everything he's done since! 🙂

  5. Frank was too heavy in the 2nd fight against Tyson . MTs legs were gone post prison. but Bruno was carrying way too much weight . Which played into tysons hands . Tyson Still had fast hands and that was the clincher.
