    Froch Groves I - remains and possibly will always remain the greatest sporting atmosphere I’ve been a part of. And what a fcking tear up it was too.

    Eubank Benn II got to be up there.

    @Jurgen got the rest covered

    Lucas v Sibson
    Minter v Sibson
    Kaylor v Sibson. Probably not a tear up, but sold out Wembley Arena for the 1st time in years & had a huge build up. The atmosphere was amazing.

    McGregor vs Farooq last year was a cracking fight. I was at that one.

    All the above must be a deal younger than me !! I have :

    Frankie Taylor v Lennie Williams
    Benny Lynch v Peter Kane
    Terry Downes v Spike Mcormack
    Alan Rudkin v Johnny Clark
    Chris Finnagen v Johnny Frankham
    Dave Green v John Stracey.

    Not all tear ups, but good action packed fights nonetheless.

    Wally was in some terrific tear ups. His fights with Tony Collins and Ensley Bingham were utter classics.

    Sorry to be a pedant Mike but Terry Downes fought John "Cowboy" McCormack.

    Proper cobbles job between two journeyman types. Martin Jolley was, to say the least, a colourful character. He wrote a book about his career. Last I heard he was in jail.
