    His strength was as the strength of 10 men because he was pure of heart.

    Not much I recently watched the Bruno fight and loved the beating that Bugbear got, especially after running his mouth like he did. His punches couldn't crack an egg. Sorry for the negativity but Bugner is one of the few boxers that I really disliked.

    He definitely got the people whipped up in to a frenzy back then, but I honestly think a lot was tongue in cheek.
    Plus helped to put bums on seats.
