Assunto: Bruno and Lewis, a question of smarts
I see many Bruno fans from the UK (I live there too), decrying
Lewis, and his lack of popularity among Brits. Well, Can I just step in here, and say that among black brits, Lewis is far more popular than Bruno, will ever be. That is not to say that I am a Lewis fan, (I like neither), but it is obvious that Bruno has gotten mainstream popularity from playing village idiot. Lewis on the other hand presents himself as am upstanding positive personality, who has a high profile in his community (If you didn't know, you never will). The irony of all this Lewis is not a true Brit talk, is that Greg Rusedski, I have no problem with Bruno, as he is successful in his own way, but as much -- É necessário Acessar antes de postar mensagens.

Lewis on the other hand presents >himself as am upstanding positive personality, who has a high profile in >his community (If you didn't know, you never will). will be aware, a boxers career can be cut short with just a single fight. There is, for a few, a 'very' good living to made as 'personality' and Frank will excel at this, Indeed, during his lay off after the Tyson fight he made a small fortune doing panto, presenting TV progs etc. It's easy to knock him for this but let's remember, there's nothing wrong with earning a living and the TV folk will only employ those who will draw the public in. Frank 'has' played up his supposed 'thickness' to the hilt and nothing wrong with that. Indeed, I think that Lewis's comments about Bounty Bars and Uncle Tom were, at least a little, spawned from some jealousy at the affection the UK public have for Bruno, in comparison to Lewis, who lets face it, the general, non fight fan, oublic hardly know. I've been lucky enough to meet Frank Bruno at the last two PBA dinners and he certainly isn't the dim-witted clown that most people would expect him to be. He does, admittedly, sometimes have problems expressing his views eloquently, but so do many, myself included. >I have no problem with Bruno, as he is successful in his own way, but as much The problem with Lewis, outside boxing, is his lack of personality. >as I think Lewis is smarmy at times, he represents a much more positive >image than Bruno does, and he is yes a Brit like Bruno, no matter how you >perceive him. Its not anyone's fault but to draw in the Non fight fan, you have to have that 'something'! Bruno, Benn, Eubank and Hamed have it. Lewis, Collins and countless others don't. It doesn't make them worse boxers but does limit their saleability as a 'personality' BTW, have you ever noticed that Lewis always refers to himself in the third person? Never I or me. eg, 'I think the time is right for Lennox Lewis to etc.' Odd! Wonder what a shrink would say about that. Mike Plowman É necessário Acessar antes de postar mensagens.

Bruno's an OK guy as far as I'm concerned. I've never met him, but one
little episode stands out in my mind: About three years ago, when I was living in England, I went to see É necessário Acessar antes de postar mensagens.

Just for the record, TIM BLAKE didn't say Hopkins fought Tate.
