    As a HW title fight in recent years...the best yes.

    Much better than Haye's lacklustre win over the freak show.

    No where near. Bruno/Witherspoon for starters had a much bigger buzz, and even post fight,Bruno/Bugner topped the McCall fight.

    It was a great night for Frank after it looked like he would never win the title. Not sure about the best ever but it was a great night.

    Brilliant to watch Nigel Benn at ringside in that clip, looked like he did as much as work as the fighters.

    Think a lot of Frank's other fights were possibly more exciting and bigger - still, a big night for Bruno though and it was great to see him get his title.

    A close second to seeing Froch being humbled a few weeks ago.
