    What's your favourite moment or fight involving a fighter walking into the lions den to take on the crowd favourite? I don't know what mine is favourite but this one sprang to mind. Eubank soaking it up in Germany.

    One that I would like to see is Cotto going to Mexico to fight Margarito at the Azteca. Not much rationale behind it but what a sight it would be.

    I loved Gomez when heat beat Arthur in Scotland, great fight and a top atmosphere that came over well even when you were watching it at home on TV!

    Katsidis when he fought Mitchell. All that West Ham bull**** he had to listen to etc, he didn't give a damn. He just went in there did the job and went. Top guy.

    wasnt so much the lions den, but Froch vs Taylor.
    maybe more a wildcats enclosure
    still a hostile crowd, chucking stuff etc. home country, favourite(IIRC?) and winning on points before Froch digs it out and produces one of the best finishes ive ever seen
