Re: Joe Bugner
Zeb, that might be because he killed someone in the ring?
Bugner earned a reputation early in his professional years as a tough, durable but often exceptionally defensive and cautious boxer; he retained that image for the rest of his career. He was often criticised for lacking natural aggression in the ring. Some observers argued that Bugner's heart was never in boxing after an early opponent, Ulric Regis, died from brain injuries soon after being outpointed by Bugner at London's Shoreditch Town Hall. Many[sup][who?][/sup] said that Bugner never punched his full weight after that.

Re: Joe Bugner
He was a tough bastard in the ring but lacked a bit of a ruthless streak.
The only time I remember him really going for someone was when he fought Richard Dunn after Dunn insulted him in the build up.That fight was rather short.
