    Is your idea of greater height a mere half inch???

    Have you ever seen what Frank Bruno's body looks like compared to Sanders'? Bruno was in his late 20's when he peaked and only lost to guys like Tyson, Lewis, Smith and Witherspoon. Sanders lost to Rahman, Nate Tubbs and Vitali Klitschko. Sanders never beat a world class fighter except for the man you're trying to make a case for, and that was when Sanders was 37..

    Sanders was English now????

    Wow, I really DO learn something new everyday.

    Last I heard, he was Dutch and from South Africa, but hey, if someone can have a sex change nowadays, then why not a nationality conversion?

    In all honesty I was never a big fan of Bruno when he was around, but to look back at him now he was actually extremely under-rated. He was probably the first man to ever wobble prime Tyson either, and he did it with a left hook. He had a very under-rated arsenal, he KO'd a few guys with that left and also threw a mean uppercut, on top of having one of the best jabs in the business. If he were around today the only fighter that would give him a problem is WALD, and that would be a toss up because they are so similar. Bruno certainly hit harder than WALD does, that much is obvious.

    He was only the 2nd man to ever stop Bugner by the way, who had a great chin. The first man to stop him? Earnie Shavers :shock:

    Bugner was also 6 feet 4 which places him above Tyson, Marciano and Ali on the new, revised ESB ATG list of heavies. He may have lost to Ali but he was declared the 'peoples champion' the day after when Ali was in hospital and Joe was swimming laps back at the hotel.

    See that's an important point right there, Bruno in his later career was probably around 238-240 without an ounce of fat on him. If he'd wanted to come into the ring at 250 he could have done so and he'd have still looked ripped. Sanders looked a fat ******* at whatever weight it was when he fought WALD (240ish I'd guess?) Bruno was as strong as a ****ing ox and could hit like a mule. His chin wasn't brilliant. Comparisons with WALD are not unreasonable I think.

    From that it's clear that you know nothing about English speaking.

    This is quite commical. I was going to watch def comedy jam on HBO tonight, but after reading this, why bother? First you claim that Sanders had greater height than Bruno, which in all reality was only a cum shot. Then, you call Sanders an Englishman, and try to cover up your embarrasing mistake by saying that the English and Dutch are all the same to you and your countryman ( whatever that may be. )

    When you say " us ", are you calling yourself the Ku Klux Klan?
