    A massive IF, but would that be the biggest profile fighter since Hagler on these shores?

    He did, but that still allows room for George Foreman AND Mike Tyson...

    Foreman?! When did he come here?

    And didn't Hearns have a fight in England late in his career?

    High Profile, he's not really high profile. James Degale is more High Profile in the UK, than Bernard Hopkins.......Audley Harrison, David Haye.........all these fighters are

    Remember what Mike Tyson did, to the country in 2000, 2001..?

    He had people protesting outside parliament.

    He had more people come out in the streets, than Nelson Mandela.

    Remember when Tyson had a walkabout in Brixton? He had to go inside a police station to address 2000 of his fans with a megaphone. Cant see Mr Hopkins getting mobbed somehow.
