He was loved in Glasgow when he stayed in Scotland my brother met him in boxing gym . Plus My mother met him in morrisions food store. he gave my mum his picture and signed it. He's a lovely guy hope he's doing well in life
He had limited ability but made the most of it. You've gotta give him credit for that. He also seems like a genuinely decent guy as well. His mental health battle have been tragic but it's good to see that he appears to be doing well again these days.
0:15: It's ironic that one of the first things Bruno mentions in this video is "bobbing and weaving, slipping and sliding"...skills he never learned. Too stiff, too upright, too easy to hit. His raw power and underrated jab often compensated for these flaws, but Tyson, Lewis and Witherspoon all capitalised on them.
You're quite right, he didn't develop any of those. He probably thought, him and his trainers, that his physique and punching power would be enough, but sadly it wasn't. He was too stiff, and has a chin like a chandelier.
Big love and respect for Frank, always humble. He always said he over achieved. Fact is he was in the position to become champ and in the position to fight the legends we know as Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson. His work ethic counted!! Good bloke
@Modiluves Cock He never lost to light punchers he never went down to light punchers he lost to Bonecrusher Smith Lennox and twice to Tyson they were all big punchers. I've seen a lot more glass jaws than big Frank that's only my opinion though
I don't think he did much weight he is just naturally ripped. He's got what I like to call that West African physique. Muscular at top, small waist and big thick thighs.
Bruno's jaw was fine, his problem was his lack of heart. He would quickly fold when hurt. Just like AJ. They both look like He-Man yet have tin hearts like the cowardly lion.
@@thebat7048 no I never saw tyson spanking him twice with ferocious combos whilst he held and rabbit punched him looking scaeed to death. Or lewis wooping him and making him quite his dreams of being a champ. He only got to a piece of the title by nsrrowly beating a second tier champion and lost it in his 1st defence if I recall so yeah never saw him fight. Dint get me wrong he could punch and was quite durable but wasnt known for being the most gutsy fighter so take off the glasses of nostalgia because you probably grew up watching him fight
@@richymenezes1524 You could off googled it man but yes he beat Oliver McCall who was mental & got lucky against Lennox & was on PED's but in the rematch he was all skinny & strange, Bruno had home advantage, rabbit punched all night & ref said nothing so Bruno & team cheated in everyday they could have
Garbage really? you dont know what youre talking about In 45 fights he ko'd 38 of his opponents,he only ever lost 4 fights and those were to current or future world champions,and 2 of those 4 are among the most outstanding heavyweight champions ever (Lewis & Tyson) and Bruno even came close to sparking both of those two
Frank Bruno. A genuine Brit. 100% respect for the guy.
Frank Bruno is an absolute diamond of a guy.
He doesn't look quite bad on the punch bag he might turn out to be world champion one day, make a load of money and a household name.

Nice to see this gentleman made it to World Heavyweight Champion!!!
One of Britain’s legendary boxers from back in the day.
Long live Frank Bruno 🙌
*Seems a nice boy. Hope he does well.*
Wotcha Dave
🤣
What a lovely, humble gentleman!

We ❤ Frank Bruno
RIP Terry Lawless
Even though Bruno lost, i still think he gave Lennox lewis one of his hardest fights.
He still beat every fighter who ever got in the ring with him and knocked out the only two men to knock him out in rematches.
@Modiluves Cock I agree with you on Mike Tyson, but as Tyson fury says..."You can't compare fighters from different eras."
That video wen he pretended to b apoloce offer then jumped a red light was. Crazy
And he did it
Great short video
Big Frank
"Strengthen out your legs from the waist downwards" as opposed to the part of your legs above the waist then frank? hahaha
Frank was never the sharpest knife 😄
UK’s Mike Tyson.
All yall disses bruno..he fought better opponent that Fury has...fact
I watched bruno hit the heavy bag up close, once… he made it look like a piece of cheese. A very very powerful individual.
Top,Top,Top geezer... Not plastic in yer face.... Just one of bloke's
16 stone giants.....simpler times
Could have been alot more successful with a different mindset, one of the hardest punchers ever 🥊🥊
My respect goes to out to Franck.
Too much weightlifting was Bruno's downfall it slowed him down and gave him poor stamina. Otherwise a fine boxer with a good record

Dillian whyte couldnt lace this mans boots, look at the shape of dillian hes sloppy and clumsy looked like he didnt even know how to box the other day
Dillian Whyte still looked in better shape than Tyson Fury. Fury has the worst shape i have ever seen in boxing.
And Fury has superhuman stamina somehow. @@jahno7154
Thank God I am 16 stone .A giant. A super heavyweight 🇺🇸👊👏😂
Hero - put al into his fights and won or went out on his shield.
That interviewer is unsufferable. I'm surprised he didn't catch a right hook.
Fakta bahwa dia teman mike tyson adalah mengejutkan
man said ebony lool
Great fighter just never had a rock solid jaw is all..

@@Haerinx87 You've obviously never seen Bruno fight he had the heart of a lion my friend 🙄
@@thebat7048 wouldnt go that far

Bruno was pure garbage, he won that world title with lots of shady things
Did he win the title ?..
