Which do you feel is the greatest British victory since 1970 (British Forum)

Foreman? Can't think of anyone else!

 

Yep, something crazy like that and then he goes and gets KD'd in the firs round!

 

Both Laguna fights were great achievements for Buchanan but for different reasons. Both away from home... the 1st in the heat and unrelenting sun of San Juan and the 2nd fighting through adversity with a cut over one eye and a severe swelling under the other Buchanan had to come on square and slug it out for the win.

 

Buchanans win in the heat of panama takes some beating

 

**** me, you are one argumentitive ****er. Remind me to stay .clear of your threads in future

 

It's Buchanan.

Curry was nearly killing himself to make the weight, Pedroza was on a slippery (though far from vertical) slope and Tszyu had been v.inactive and had never boxed in UK before.

As for McClellan, too many Q marks - he hadn't been beyond 5 rounds for 5 years, for instance.


Apart from those listed, Eubank over Watson in their rematch was a great, great comeback, and what Benn did to Barkley was very impressive.

 

Napoles shits all over Pedroza, let alone Tszyu, evidently the best win of the 3 belongs to Stracey, who stopped his man as well.

 

No Lewis - Klitschko

An older atg/hof beating comparatively younger guy who is a future hof and possible atg

 

No, Vitali doesn't measure up to the aforementioned claimed scalps.

 

HOneyghan-Curry and its not even close

Stracy - Napoles second, Napoles was at the end though

Benn- Gman

 

Zoo not having fought in the UK is a poor reason. He usually travelled well in other fights and had fought 6 months previous to the Hatton fight. Still well out of the tip 3 though.

 

What more could've a young Kostya actually done?
He boxed beautifully in spells and landed a variation of shots that most other boxers woudldnt handle.
People shouldnt underestimate how good Hatton was that night.
