    The only time Bruno went out fairly early was against Tyson .. I do find Moses interesting and exciting but truly let him get hit or go a few rounds .. Whyte never took a great shot , was caught and taken out preciously multiple times in his career and truly looked to me like a Lyle being fed to a Cooney ..

    Bugner was well past his best and ageing but had scored 3 consecutive wins over James Tillis,David Bey and Greg Page. Like many I was interested in the Bruno fight . A great shame Aussie Joe turned up 20lbs heavier but didn't fight with the determination and confidence he had in those 3 prior wins.

    Williams went 10 with Frank and 15 with Holmes because he could usually take a shot and fight. I felt he was unlucky on the decision against Witherspoon just before and he certainly took shots there and the Morrison shootout , where his defensive lapses were just as culpable, as his vulnerability to the left hook which of course big puncher ,Mike Tyson and respectable punchers in Mike Weaver and Morrison exposed at critical junctures. He didn't have a great chin agreed but had a decent career as a top ten contender.

    Coetzee came at the perfect time with the bebefit of hindsight but the rumours aside few would have predicted before the fight Coetzee was going to be flattened in one round.However I'd agree the matches looking back were at good times for Frank but the wins were also credible in my opinion and not to be dismissed so lightly.

    On that we will have to disagree. Thank you for replying.
