    Bugner was 100% Hungarian, born there to Hungarian patents. he is a top 100 of all-time HW. Beat Cooper, Ellis, Mac Foster, Bey, Denis, Page-lost to Middleton and Marvis Frazier though.

    Not really "loved"
    More a case of being related by birth!
    The guy was a great boxer in his time and in hi sprime but you wont find many people here preaching about the great things that "Aussie Joe" did!

    By the time Joe beat Greg, Page had faded bigtime.
