You simply can't make a boxing argument for having Haye or AJ ahead of Fury. IF Fury stays retired AND AJ picks up a few more notable wins he may end up ahead of him, but as it stands Wlad is both of thems biggest win Fury schooled him in his back yard when he was an active world champ unbeaten in 11 years AJ went life and death in his backyard against an older inactive version. Hayes heavy career not in same league
You really only have a top 3 of all time top British HWs 1. Lennox Lewis 2. Anthony Joshua (still active so could get to number 1) 3. Tyson Fury (retired and a one hit wonder, but he beat the man) The rest of them are fighting it out as none were ever the number 1 HW in the world. Some held a strap, some fought for the World title. Bruno would have to be between 4 and 8 in the top 8. It would take some research and debate to see exactly where. Bugner, Farr, Cooper and Haye all can lay claim to the top 8 with Bruno somewhere in the mix.
British HW scene was notoriously pitiful throughout history. Fair to place AJ in the top 5. My list, for what it's worth: 1. Lewis 2. Fitzsimmons 3. Fury 4. Joshua 5. Haye.
i watched a couple of Bruno fights not so long ago and i think time has been kind to him...He was in an unfortunate/fortunate era ,what ever way you want to look at it?.... He was always in fantastic shape ,had balls of steel and best of all an unbelievable jab...He wasn't far away from beating Lennox ! A true legend of British boxing and probably top 5 British boxer in any weight
Tommy far was a Brit heavy who did well vs Louis do you think Haye would do well against a Louis type talent and style wise if there had been a great during his era? Haye was completely defensive vs Wlad.
What did Bruno have that AJ doesn`t?! Lewis beat Mason easily. Bugner put up a better fight vs Ali than Bruno would of.
