    To state the obvious, he would have some chance against anybody with a less than stellar chin.

    How close was he to beating Lewis? His punches seemed to hurt Lewis more Tyson and Holyfield’s punches did

    They where both very, very diminished to be fair.

    Personally for me Frank Bruno's best performance is against Lennox Lewis his jab was popping and he rocked Lewis a few times he eventually ran out of steam and got got caught with a left hook that led to barrage from Lewis and got stopped. In the MCcall fight from what I remember he backed him up on the ropes but did a lot of holding he was far more impressive in the Lewis fight despite losing. I'd get frustrated watching Bruno though because of all the rabbit punches he used to throw.
