"Hard Times" director Walter Hill once said in an interview that Bronson could only fight for 30 seconds because of his smoking. That's true.

In that way it makes sense what Walter Hill stated: that he was in great shape(muscular) but he wasn't in good condition(aerobic stamina).

Interesting Bronson-Mitchum story. I believe Charlie was a supreme tough guy, but I do believe that guys, like Micthum, Leo Gorden, Woody Strode, Jack Palence, of his era could easily take him, but that is know knock on him, because these guys were the cream of the crop. its just like when Clint Eastwood backing down to Richard Burton, on the set of "WERE EAGLES DARE". I don't believe that diminishes Clint's tough guy persona, because Richard had a good tough guy rep. Can you tell us any of the tales of people scared of Bronson CHANEY?

Don't forget Bronson worked down a mine. That probably affected his lungs too. If Mitchum said of McQueen, that he "doesn't bring much to the party", that says to me, that he didn't think McQueen had much going on upstairs ie in the brain department.
