If Frank Bruno fought anywhere from the late 1890s-late 1920s he'd be a terror

If you believe a nothing like Bruno beats Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries hwt champions who were considered the best of the best for many decades you have much more to learn than anyone has anticipated. Bruno was a nothing who never achieved much of anything in the sport of boxing. More a bodybuilder than fighter with a chin of glass and a wee little heart.

 

Lol the Bazooka speaks

 

Learn the sport you try to write about.

 

You think Marciano is more skilled than Lomachenko.
Your so arrogant you can't see that your wrong as often as you are.
You call champions nothing.
You call people liars, with no proof, whilst lying yourself.

You have no class, are uneducated in the sport you critique others for and are so egotistical you think your above simply replying to people.

**** off Perry.

 

The zero likes other zeros.

Your knowledge of the sport equates to you worth. Not much!

You find greatness in completely unproven fighters. A sign of a fanboy.

A truely knowledgeably historian never rates any unproven fighter alongside those that have proven themselves. You would not understand this of course. You have a long way to go.

Another sign of a rank amateur is not understanding when you are being deceived. Seamust leads you around like the lost soul you indeed are.

Frank Bruno beats Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries? You win today’s “I know nothing about boxing” award.

The fanBOY wins an award!

 

Well in mate, does taking the **** out of a kid make you feel good?

What the actual **** would you know about my worth? You're a coward ONLINE you're pathetic.

Your*

You fail to see greatness today, a sign of a an old, bitter fool.

Like yourself then?
After all, a self proclaimed Bazooka is hard to argue with.

Someone who thinks Lomachenko and Usyk haven't been tested is a fool.

To what? Be like you? No thanks. I'm good pal.

A sign of a **** is thinking you know everything.

When have I been remotely deceived?

Does he? I don't actively follow him.

You'd be an expert in this matter.

You're so proud of this don't lie

 

Damn straight, I mean the youngest fighters would have been in their 80s, Bomber would have blown them away, not least the ones whose handicap at the time would have been death...

 

Silly. Bruno was not a fighter. He was a bodybuilder posing as one. He could not take a punch and his fighting heart was next to zilch.

 

Well yes he'd be 60lb of muscle heavier

 

They both know they were behind when they did so. No-one's calling Frank an ATG but he was never shite.

 

He could take a very solid wallop, the issue was in the inability to defend himself when hurt. But this flaw showed he did have a fighting heart; taking beatings from Witherspoon, Smith and Tyson first time around, as well as somehow recovering from the first round of the Cummings fight. He also sucked it up late against McCall.

It could be argued though he was at times intimidated and thus lacked the composure needed to be top class.

 

The problem with Frank was he had no anonymity. His opponents knew they were booked to lose. He was over exposed from day one. Learning on the job. Training like a champion, high expectations.

Bruno would have been a more relaxed, better fighter if he had of lost a couple of fights early on or had fought internationally as an amateur for a few seasons before turning over.

Instead, he was launched as a future champion before he had learned how to fight.

everyone knew who he was from the beginning. Opponents drove a hard bargain to fight Bruno then offered him nothing in the ring. Frank just wasn’t learning anything.

Bruno should have been brought along like Sonny Liston was. Sonny was broken in on the quiet.

Listons early opponents were either gigantic plodders who took him the distance, other prospects who nearly beat him, or much more experienced “live” lightheavyweights. Sonny Liston had split decisions and a loss already within his first 10 fights. But it served Sonny much better than Frank Bruno who was relatively ill equipped for hardy resilience.
