Frank Bruno Beats Layne,Lastarza,Mathews,C*ckell

What is it with the nostalgia for midgets with beerguts ruling the heavyweight division?

 

No one's picking him to rule anything. All were doing is giving him a stylistic chance against a vulnerable fringe contender from the 80s who had severe stamina problems.

I can definitely see Bruno winning this fight but Layne has a chance if he makes it past round 6

 

He was 6'1", just two inches shorter than this supposed monster, and this don't look like a beer gut.

Bruno weighed around 240 for his last four fights. Frank turned pro under 220 and was as low as 222lb eleven years into his career. The guy went up and down to suit the opponent.

It's funny that Frank Brunos highest weight is considered his best weight.

 

You have completely missed the point. Whatever Bruno weighed the fluctuation always consisted of muscle, not flab.

 

Overly bulked up Bruno who nearly gassed out against McCalls nonexistant pressure would certainly lose to Layne.

Bruno was a little better when he was in the 220s.

 

And I still can't get over how the difference between a 6'1" man and a 6'3" man is that between a giant and a midget...

 

I met Frank four years ago he had lost a lot of weight but still training to keep fit. He said he was "not much more than sixteen stone" at that time.

Interestingly Lewis, Tyson, Tucker and Bruno who I have met in retirement all look a lot lighter now than when they were boxing.

Old heavyweights used to get fat.

 

I believe that with time and reflection this, too, will pass.
