    just thought id start a thread in tribute to one of the most popular boxers to ever step in the ring,he had huge heart,a great punch(only 2 fights in his 45 fight career went the distance(wins&losses),never quit or give up on his dream of being world champ until he acheived it,big respect to big frank.:good

    When he rocked Mike in the first fight, that is one of my favourite sporting moments of all time. I stayed up to listen to it on the radio, it was on tv the next morning.

    Big Frank Bruno. What a legend. Anyone know how he is doing?

    Big up Big Frank! One of the nicest guys ever to get into the ring. Very few boxers are as loved as the Big Man. A legend in the UK

    Household name for the brits maybe, but outside UK, Bruno's popularity is purely due to his losses to Tyson and his incredible physique.

    Great guy,just wish he would have been a tad more with it when he got hurt,he seemed to lose his head,and go into zombie mode,if he had only gone onto his knee or grabbed hold,the witherspoon fight was the one that got me,i really thought he had that fight in the bag,still hes a legend,unlike that tool harrison who at once point said he was the new bruno in the publics eyes LOL

    The only weakness Frank had and it stopped him being a great heavyweght is that he had tunnel vision.

    Its never really been mentioned in the press but those in teh know would tell you.

    Go look at his knockouts losses....always wide swinging punches that he didn't see coming...well he couldn't see coming because of his tunnel vision.

    To acomplish what he did despite this is fantastic
