    No, there were 10 other h/ws better than you Frank. You could no more have been world h/w champion than I could've been, & I'm 5'10 & 150ibs.
    Well the fact is, out of you and Bruno, one of you actually was a world heavyweight champion. Now I’ll leave you to work out the logic in your post.

      I don't see how their fights warranted a doc. Their fights were hardly competitive or memorable (for me at least).
      The documentary was about Bruno, produced largely for a British audience.

      The Tyson fights were huge. If I remember correctly it was the first PPV on Sky. Bruno was a huge star and personality.

      Again, I think you're measuring this by the wrong standards. Bruno wasn't one of the greatest, and the fights aren't iconic because they were especially good fights. But Bruno was a very good (and now underrated) fighter and the fights were iconic because of Bruno and Tyson's characters.

        I remember Bruno vs Tyson 2 (too young to remember the first) I was like 7 or 8, they had the PPV on at our local village club, I remember running around scabbing coins to play the street fighter 2 machine upstairs, some kids downstairs had a snes hooked up to a TV on wheels and all the adults were drunk lol, they had to lock the doors and call it a "private party" as it was after hours.

        This was the theme song sky were using all night showing clips of Frank.

        Then Frank got brutally murdered lol.
