How great could Frank Bruno been if he'd jogged 3 miles and eaten blueberries?

    It was making fun of a thread on claiming Marciano's training had him jogging 3 means, and lounging around eating blueberries.

    That's hard to disagree with.
    On the one hand there's no disgrace at all in his list of defeats, but I always remember being frustrated at how it worked with this guy. He was ( in the main) built up with a line of stiffs and one or two over the hill names, before stepping up and losing.The process kept repeating itself until he finally beat McCall.
    With the confidence that I thought that win would give him, his near meltdown against Tyson in his following fight was disappointing. By that stage Tyson was beatable. Even his own corner became exasperated with him in that fight.
    Bruno's critics would say that apart from McCall he lost all his big fights.

    Cummings didn't hurt the shell of Frazier like he did Bruno.
