Joe Bugner is gone at 75.
He fought Ali twice. Took on Frazier. Beat Cooper.
A giant in the ring, but never loved in Britain.
This is the story of the “Harmless Hercules.”

Scary Old School Heavyweight KOs: Part 2.
Doesn't get any scarier than that.
What other old school heavyweight KOs do you find scary/brutal?

"Vedi amico, nella vita c'è sempre uno più forte di te; e questo vale anche per me."...Addio Joe: grandissimo pugile e stupendo caratterista nei film di Bud. #joebugner 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Ragazzi, è morto Joe Bugner, campione di Boxe (che ha combattuto anche con M. Alì) e attore comico. Indimenticabile spalla di Bud Spencer e Terence Hill! 😥
#JoeBugner #RIP. A very good heavyweight #boxer. An even greater man. Gave his time on numerous occasions to a young #boxing writer trying to learn the business. Joe was unique in many ways. This photo of us at the Sydney Olympic Games 2000.

Grazie di tutto, #JoeBugner. La terra ti sia lieve.

🥊 No one else ever did it like Big Joe
There’ll never be another #JoeBugner. Not because of nostalgia or sentiment, but because boxing today doesn’t allow for what he did. 83 fights. 32 years in the ring. 2 with Ali, 2 with Frazier, 1 against Foreman. He wasn’t a curiosity on their résumés. He belonged in the company of greats and held his own.
He was 21 years and three days old when he beat Henry Cooper in his 35th fight. Those numbers barely make sense now. You can’t teach that sort of schooling anymore, it’s gone with the eras of smoky halls and six-week turnarounds.
He boxed at a time when the heavyweight division was at its most brutal and most unforgiving. You didn’t duck anyone. You didn’t build padded records. Bugner went through the fire repeatedly. There’s a different type of toughness in lasting 15 rounds with Ali in 118-degree heat in Kuala Lumpur, then going again against Frazier a few months later. It takes more than a chin. It takes a kind of dogged self-belief that doesn’t flinch at pain or reputation.
And yes, the English crowd never fully took to him. Some thought he didn’t go for broke enough. But maybe that’s because they didn’t understand the intelligence in his craft, the subtlety in survival. Maybe it’s because he was Hungarian-born. Maybe because he didn’t bleed on cue.
It doesn’t matter now. The record stands. A body of work that demands respect. The second-best British heavyweight behind Lennox Lewis, if you’re being honest. And far more than a fighter. A giant in size, presence and memory. Charmer, joker, survivor. He once carried a machine gun at 6 years old while fleeing across a border with his mother. The ring was never going to break a man like that.
🙏 Rest in peace, Big Joe.
