What has been the best British fight of the decade?

Ricky Hatton/Jon Thaxton

 

yep, Haye/Thompso was good and Gomex/Arthur was pretty brutal

 

In that case,we'll have Eubank/Thompson 1 from 1998 aswell

 

Was that not late 90's? :huh

Cracking fight nonetheless.

 

atsch Just checked, was in 2000. Sorry djoc :good.

 

:good

I know Gaz will have enjoyed Hatton calling Witter 'Lord of the Dance' in the post fight interview:verysad

 

The scene was pretty cool at that point, nobody was taking themselves too seriously. After that there was a 'brand' to protect and it all got a bit myopic and annoying.

 

Haye-Thompson for me.

 

What do you mean at that point?At that point of their careers or at that point of that evening?I thought it was funny tbh and harmless really.Witter acted out of turn

 

You've contradicted yourself in that paragraph. Anyway, I thought, at that point in their careers, they were both pretty cool and it was all a bit of fun. Then there were contracts signed, claims made, fights not made etc

 

Why because of the :verysad in the earlier post?If so,then yes I have.But,Witter was out of line saying that he will destroy Hatton etc.The path Hatton then took is another story.

 

You're entitled to your opinion but I think it's pretty clear Hatton, for whatever reason, dodged Witter. The subject's been done a thousand times on here though so let's not go into it too much. Sky should have just forced the issue though instead of bowing down to Warren and his WBU nonsense.

 

I agree with you on Hatton/Witter,but like you said it's been covered several times
