I'm 85 yo...I remember Joe...nice bloke, but really, not a REAL classy boxer...he was "in the right place at the right time". He fought "Our Henry" at the right time for him...Henry, in his prime, would have floored Joe by the end of round two...NO doubt about THAT...BELIEVE ME!! :) Cheers mate!!

Thanks wonderful commentary. Im from NZealand and remember all his fights, especially with Fraser and Muhammed Ali. Cheers to Joe!

I sparred with Joe for years. A great guy. I got to meet Ali and Frazier too!

@@life107familyfitnessboxing8 Fantastic and big ups to you, Friend!

Thanks again Frank! Really great boxing video's you're doing.. and here's to BigJoe Bugner 🍻 🎉

Joe bugner was a great boxer, he had 83 fights with only 13 losses 1 draw he was British European and commonwealth champions and he was australian champions and had version of a world title at the age of 48 years of age.. He was never knocked out, he had knocked out 41 opponents. He was boxing from age 17years to to 49 legend.

Allways loved Joe , would have been a world champ in any other era,

Our local guy❤

He was one tough cookie , always liked to see him fight . Did not know he actually won a world title and I think if he had more power in his punch he could have been really great.

He killed a man early in his career, I think that’s why he rarely went for the KO. I’ve heard he busted Quarry up in sparring. He held his own against Frazier and Lyle and destroyed Dunn. If he was up for it, he’d beat any of today’s Heavyweights.

You brought that up. He didn’t have the killer instinct. 👍

Great vid Thankyou 🙏

I never forget joe was offered 20000 pound to fight in the uk but said 20000 that wouldn’t pay Marlene’s make up bill

Never got the promised pic from Joe, but , hey ho, still loved him.

Nice job. Joe was probably my favourite boxer, but I really only knew about him in the early 80s after he knocked out Winston Allen. He seemed pretty aggressive in that fight. Managed to catch his knockout of Richard Dunn on KZread. Kind of gives a glimpse of what might have been. Can’t be proven either way, and it’s all personal opinion, but I think he’d do well against today’s heavyweights.

Nice video Frank - thank you 🥊

Great chin, durable, and superb defensive skills. Just sometimes lacked the killer instinct.

Lovely tribute but, considering Joe competed in the same era as Ali, 'Greatest Showman' couldn't be any more starkly reflected. Joe was probably underrated by the broader audience in his own era, not least because they resented him knocking their favourite (Henry Cooper) off his perch. Notwithstanding intermittent retirement, one must acknowledge Joe's longevity and the fact he was a genuine contender in a particularly strong era (Ali, Frazier, Lyle, Foreman et al). Cheers Frank and cheers Joe.

Never knew he was an Hungarian, British, Australian. Lol!

Here here, good stuff owde Joe personality I believe if he had the training that American boxers were getting at the time, then things may have been slightly different, but hey he was a top dog ey

A very good fighter he fought smoking Joe fraizier in his first bout losing to George foreman fraizer scored a 10 rd knockdown to edge bugner out i always thought Frazier came into the fight to lite bugner was able to push Frazier around in there but still gave the fight to Frazier by a round i whould have loved to see him fight Jerry quarry whould have been a good one

Cooper must be the only man to win BBC/SPOTY not once but twice due to fights he lost first Ali then Bugner as to Joe one always felt he lacked the killer instinct maybe due an opponent dying after one of his early fights having said that i'll never forget the night i watched him win on the Ali underbill in Dublin

Joe ...did just lose to Bruno on an 8th round stoppage? How can you 'just lose' on a stoppage?

His biggest thing he did was go 30 rounds with ali😊

Sad to hear Joe Bugner has dementia. It's seems something that a lot of ex-boxers get.
