    Oh yeah he just looks like a slugger, but it hasn't hurt Rogan in beating the best domestically.

    Rogan isn't a slugger. He just has a good chin, great stamina and is good pressure fighter.

    He has a decent punch but the pressure he puts on is his best attribute

    not a chance and some of it may not be his fault

    Bruno was at one point the most popular man in Britain

    it was a great time for boxing (exposure)
    Bruno was actually decent and proved himself to an extent
    most importantly Bruno had the big opposition, no Tyson's and Lewis's around today (those tyson bouts made everyone rally around him) the lovable Bruno against the baddest man on the planet "get in there Frank"

    Bruno came along at the right time and i don't think he would be as popular if he came along today because of the state of the game

    Rogan isn't a slugger. He's a very good inside fighter.

    Larry is just a body builder with power. Nothing else.

    And he's 30, he's going no where.

    No technique whatsoever, domestic level at best at the moment I'm afraid

    Fury has zero ego compared to Haye. Fury has lots of potential, esp. if he has a good trainer.

    He will never gain Brunos popularity but its questionable now days whether any fighter ever will.I dont even think Hatton has approached anything like the fervor Bruno enjoyed in his prime.

    For me personally Bruno as a personality and the fame he enjoyed as a result of it was overhyped and mainly media driven.He may heve been a hero and funny character to some and im not Black but the Blacks i associated with at school and in college at the time honestly found him an embarrasment.Lewis alluded to this in the build up to their fight expressing what many in their community felt about Brunos antics.Bruno when hes serious and focussed can be a decent normal guy so its questionable why he chose to portray such a buffoonish character.I sometimes felt embarrased when the bloke opened his mouth and to be honest prefer the loudmouth cocky approach of Haye and Fury irrespective of whether or not they will go on to enjoy Bruno type popularity.
