    The poll sucks. Frank had a decent beard but just froze when tagged. It was certainly mental with him. For contradistinction, take Terry Norris. If you pushed his button, the lights were out. That was a physical weakness.
     
  4. what a kid...:rofl:rofl:rofl i know that i own your mind, it is obvious you are too weak mentally. it is because you need that i be banned, my bulldog is more intelligent than you.
    if you read the answers of mrbutt,janitor or tommygun711 you could understand the diference among a person who know about boxing and a simpleton like you or the valane hahahaa.

    Frank was knocked silly by a single right hand from Cummings just
    at the bell ending the opening round. Nobody did this to a prime
    Shavers with a single shot. (Jerry Quarry needed around 60 punches
    to put Earnie down after hurting him.)

    What happens if Cummings (hardly a great puncher) hurts Frank like
    this with two minutes left in a round? (An old and rusty Frazier was
    not ever in anything resembling this kind of trouble from a peaking
    Cummings.)

    8:15 on the youtube clip below:

    Yes, I do think Bruno's chin was clearly inferior to that of Shavers.
    Holmes never put Earnie on the deck, and their rematch followed
    Larry's impressive displays of power against Evangelista, Ocasio
    and Weaver. (They should all be viewed whenever available.)
    Holmes would follow Shavers II with a clean knockout win over
    Zanon. That was a highly potent version of Holmes Shavers
    remained upright against. I don't see Bruno standing up to that
    combination of skill and power for too long, and like Weaver and
    Evangelista, Frank goes down from a single Holmes punch.

    Bruno was a fine heavyweight with some superb wins, but
    what happened with Cummings, Bonecrusher, Lewis and Tyson
    2X sticks in my mind.

    Once again, for about the 10th time, the problem wasn't his chin [which obviously wasn't iron, but not weak] it was his survival skills.

    I won't argue the respective merits of Bruno and Shavers chin,but Cummings could hit allright he scored 13kos in 15 wins and the shot he hit Bruno with caught him around the back of the head ,I was ringside ,in fact I have just seen myself as I watched your link.
    I saw nearly all Bruno's fights , from ringside , his problem was twofold a lack of stamina,and he froze when tagged, and did not grab his opponent .
    His chin was average but his boxing smarts were poor.
    This is an agenda driven thread which has come back to bite its originator on the bum because the majority of posters think the same.
    PS. I was no Bruno fan ,he was a manufactured fighter.

    i was a bruno fan but then i have to be honest and although not a glass jaw it was certainly questionable , but the man did have a nerves problem and when he got hit he seemed to most times forget how to hold and survive (freeze)

    I didn't ask for your lifestory, i know you are full of **** and you know you are full of ****. Funny enough i'm younger than you're stated age. I hope you are lying, because you would happen to be the most mentally challenged 26 year old that i have ever had the missfortune to come across.


    You are either a troll or a complete nutjob, either way you are tedious, repetative and childish.

    99% of your posts are capslock wall of text insults and rants. You really should be banned.
