    Frank Bruno, but only because he became a world champ, other than that he wasn`t a success. Bowe was awful at slipping shots, he took more punches than most heavyweight champs have partly because because he threw so many shots, he would of toyed with Bruno though!

    Baer often credited working as a butcher boy, carrying heavy carcasses of meat, stunning cattle with one blow, and working at a gravel pit, for developing his powerful shoulders (an article in the January 1939 edition of The Family Circle Magazine reported that Baer also took the Charles Atlas exercise course.)[

    His main adversary Jeff Harding redefined toughness. His head movement non existent. Their trilogy one of the most brutal ever.
