    You have to look at his losses, and you have to look at his wins, and you have to look at the men between that he wasn't fighting.

    Why wasn't he taking fights against men like Berbick, or Weaver, unless a title was on the line?

    The answer is probably that his team had worked out, that he was likely to lose against men of that caliber, and they wanted to protect their investment.

    Bruno is not better than most give him credit for, the opposite is the case.

    He was a guy who feasted on tomato cans, lost every time he stepped up, then went back to knocking over tomato cans again, until he could get another title shot through politics.

    And Bruno was the first one to wobble Tyson and that was no easy feet
    Bruno had heart and would dig deep and like u i dont think he gets the credit he deserves
    He fought Tyson Lewis and held his own so what does that tell you

    Perhaps that he should have a couple of ranked contenders on his ledger?

    Those fighters are good enough where the judging doesn't really matter. Just Braddock being good enough to

    John Henry Lewis is one of the most talented fighters to ever live. Tommy Farrs like the 2nd or 3rd best British HW ever. Would beat Tyson Fury like a bad habit. If Braddock deserved to lose those fights and he did the Lewis one not the Farr one who cares. It still elevates him to another level above Frank Bruno.
