    No love lost between Herbie Hide and British born Michael Bentt, they went at it pre fight Christie/Kaylor style too.

    Not much of a fight, but Johnny Nelson and Carl Thompson had a long running feud.

    A classic that is often forgot: Dennis Andries and Tom Collins.

    Finnegan (Chris) and Conteh did not like each other.

    Chris called him onion head or something. He reckoned Conteh must of pickled his head

    I was gonna' say Benntt-Hide but couldn't find the footage of their scrap.

    The actual fight, which is on yt, paled in comparison :lol:

    Was it in some car park, in suits, and ended up rolling in a puddle?

    VERY undignified !

    Lewis/Bruno - uncle tom, true brit and all that.
    Didn't the Naz v Steve Robinson fight have a bit of needle?
    To a lesser extent Haye/Maccarinelli.

    Good shout! I remember seeing Bugner in the studio slagging off Dunn's effort against Ali. Even though he was outclassed he'd put a brave show and it didn't go down well with the public who'd seen Joe's own non effort against Ali.
    Bugner was well fired up for this one for a change and I really felt sorry for Dunn but Joe was in fact on a different level. Shame he never showed it more often.

    Benn and Logan had needle, probably even moreso than Benn-Eubank. Logan was from the British Empire atleast :)

    Richard Dunn is the answer to a great trivia question. "Who was Alis last stoppage?"

    I was lucky to be there. Benn was lucky the fight was in Britain, it should of been stopped, Benn was gone.

    It is rightly pointed out, there is no such thing as a lucky punch in boxing. Benn/Logan is the exception to prove the rule.
