    Thanks for those responses, I'am not talking about European or a world title fights, he already won at those levels and would obvioulsy struggle there now. Just a prep fight for a domestic fight (he never won the British title becuase of lawless) but yeah its a long shot. I know about the eye before the 96 Tyson fight and i thought Frank Warren and George Francis was crazy not to urge Frank not to quit following the mcall fight and could Warren not fixed an easier first defence then Tyson? Its seems Bruno took that fight for money and money only.

    Frank was a big kid, largerthan others his age, he was repremanded for striking a teacher in school, and was taken to get rid of his agression in the gym..

    He won the ABA's beating a strong welsh lad named Rudi Pica and before turning pro he failed a routine eye exam.. Duff and Lawless thought that much of him as a heavyweight comodity they took him to Bogata to get the eye properly repaired.

    It became torn again in his reign as champ...

    He would be very foolish to fight again..

    He would definitely pick up a belt today if he was boxing..

    His chin is better than Rahman and Wladimirs..

    He was only knocked out properly once, by Smith...

    He was too brave and often never learned to go down or hold..

    Better than most suggest..
