    Here are my 5 best British wins in any order:

    HATTON vs TSZYU

    KELLEY vs HAMED

    CALZAGHE vs KESSLER

    BENN vs McClellan

    Mormeck vs Haye


    I would put Calzaghes last as it was beating an overhyped European in front of 50,000 of his own fans (nothing like an advantage over an opponent) lol

    Benns would be top of list, against one of the most dangerous punchers of the modern era.

    Hattons was awsome as he beat an ATG

    Hamed could not have picked a tougher American debut, fighting Kelly who had only been beaten once in 50 fights @ the garden in the lions Den


    Hayes was a real gutsy move, going over to the beasts backyard and KOing him after being down himself. Thats Real Character.

    Actually I might delete Calzaghi's win, it wasn't even against a top champion.

    Your an idiot. But ill humour you.

    I dont class Calzaghes win as the best as i beleive he was a very slight favourite to begin with. However McClellan was supposed to destroy Nigel Benn as was Tszyu against Hatton. Mormeck was favourite to stop Haye but it was a 50-50 fight much like Calzaghe Kessler.

    I think Benns win will go down as the best win, then Hattons over Tszyu.

    Benn - Hewasn't given much of a chance especially after going through the ropes.
    Calzaghe - Kessler wasn't overhyped and will now rule the SMW for a while, once again JC was tipped to lose.
    Hamed - Brutal fight and Nas done the job in the backyard
    Haye - Going to Paris and getting up from a knockdown is good work i feel though Mormeck was a little passed it.
    Hatton - The right time for Hatton, Tszyu was a litttle passed it although an ATG he wasn't his former great self, Tszyus style was made for Hatton.

    Although it's not n the list I think Honeygan against Curry was probably the best in my opinion.
