    Think he was referring to English heavyweights.

    Bruno was too stiff, upright and had zero defense when tacked. BUT! He may have been one of the strongest heavyweights ever, stronger than Foreman and all of today's 250 pound heavyweights. The 247 pound Bruno who won a title vs McCall may have been the strongest boxer ever. Pierre Goetze (Don't remember his name) said Bruno was stronger than Foreman.

    Stylistically, Bruno was made for tyson. Midrange brawlers like bruno get eaten alive by tyson

    What Joe Bugner lacked in power, he made it up with durability.

    This is true, he was a tough hombre. Its ridiculous how people dont appreciate him and he gave it his all versus Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, boring as the Ali world title fight was.
