Boxing

Needs to be more about time spent out of prison as a prizefighter.

Criticism

It's an appallingly written piece- I couldn't tell if it was a joke or not, to be honest. Nice bit of casual racism too from the writer of the piece.

This piece is truly awful. Should be deleted or at the least be completely rewritten. 62.25.109.195 09:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

It is no use criticising the article without stating what you think is wrong with it. What about the article could be considered racist? Is Bronson mixed race or of foreign extraction? Nietzsche 2 (talk) 07:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Allegations

There should be something about the allegations that he has been unfairly treated by prison guards and vilified by the press and he should be experiencing a more normal time in prison. Especially since he's never even killed anyone. Earfetish1 03:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

If a reliable source can be found for such claims, but I doubt they can be. He is extremely and irrationally violent; it is mere luck that no-one he attacked died of their injuries. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 07:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism

have just changed main page, section saying he has a life sentance for killing 525 people in a riot?! needs totaly re-writting —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.148.179.126 (talk) 15:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Hard

He is probably one of the hardest humans alive, I don't know if he values that by now, I expect it is obligatory to mention it in any accurate description. Someone respected by the very, very hardest of men. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.254.81.209 (talk) 08:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Such a description is POV, which is why it shouldn't be in an encylopedia article. In addition, such an unofficial title would be praising soemone who is an irrational, unstable, violent menace. No-one should be holding him up as some kind of hero or achiever. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 07:41, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

That is just your point of view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.251.230.214 (talk) 20:09, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

In prison for most of his life

You lot should get a life, the blokes more famous for being a nutter than fighting, how can it be about his life outside prison if hes been in there since he was 19. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.74.206.222 (talk) 11:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

This needs reviewing for accuracy, apparently in gaol since he was 19, initially went in in 1974 but was born in 1952? These facts don't add up! DanDelusional (talk) 12:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Early life, family and marriages

This article needs more info on how he turned from being a well-behaved child into an extremely badly behaved adult. The article implies that moving to Merseyside was a major factor, but moving there does not, in itself, make a person violent. Most violent people were the victims of violence or other abuse whilst they were growing up; was he? What age was he when the personality change occurred, and were there any specific incidences that triggered it? Nietzsche 2 (talk) 07:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Does Bronson have any siblings? Are his parents alive or dead? Is the son by his first wife the only child he has ever had? When did his first marriage end? Was he divorced from her? Why did his second wife want to marry someone whom she knew to be a notoriously violent imprisoned criminal? Nietzsche 2 (talk) 07:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
