    That fight stunk to me. A fighter with his chin and Bruno's stamina. Perhaps im not giving enough credit to Big Frank, but Bruno Tyson 2 would generate way more revenue than McCall Tyson and Don Kings involved

    Bruno's a much heavier puncher than Holmes or Norton, if he catches Norton, Nortons going, Holmes could hit the deck from a right hand off Bruno too, Bruno also has a ramrod jab, heavy as ****. Holmes blatantly tko's him though and Norton should too but he could be sparked here. Bruno had a war with Witherspoon, maybe not like Norton Holmes 15th round but it was good

    Yep, Bruno could box with anyone, he just had no defence or natural in him when caught heavy, it was a guaranteed loss if he was hurt

    McCall was on a different purse depending on result. He was on more money to lose as paying him say £5m to lose was a drop in the ocean compared to what Bruno v Tyson 2 generated in Vegas. I was told this by a trainer who trained a world champ who boxed under Warren and King. Have no reason to disbelieve him.. To a crackpot like McCall if the 3 options were beat Bruno for peanuts, lost for 5m, enter the ring dressed as Peppa Pig for 6m he's coming in as a pig

    Far from victory, he was doing well, but facts of the matter is, Lewis ko'd him. Big Franks jab is a problem for anyone

    Thing is Momus, Frank could have fought any of the guys you name there. Mickey Duff could have got any of them to London with the money he had. Frank's manager Terry Lawless didn't want any part of any of them. He knew better than most how vulnerable Bruno actually was.

    As I posted somewhere else Mac, Coetzee had retired. I think he had a farm. I heard that Duff, Barrett and Levine offered him £250,000. He couldn't say no.

    Lawless was a Mother Hen, Duff had murders getting him to accept even moderate opposition.

    I was 3 or 4 rows back from ringside,Coetzee was flabby without any muscle tone.The Coetzee that beat Dokes would have stopped Frank imo.
