    With rees taking on broner at the weekend it got me thinking of the toughest fights for a Brit away from home. I mean comparing their ability to the ability of their opponent.

    Cotto v Jennings
    Broner v Rees
    Mayweather v Hatton
    Taylor v Froch
    Ward v Froch
    Wlad v Haye
    Mormeck v Haye
    Kessler v Froch


    These are a few off the top of my head. The toughest in my lifetime was definitely cotto v Jennings. Jennings had virtually no chance whatsoever.

    Are you serious. Most of that is complete garbage. How on earth can you include Froch and Hatton.

    Murray vs Rios-yes

    Brook vs Alexander-no

    Surely the point is the British fighter was a real underdog who had an real tough task ahead.

    Because Andre ward is one of the best fighters in the world and Mayweather is one of the best ever!

    Danny Williams - Vitali Klitschko has to be a good shout for a top spot there.

    The three that stick out for me are

    Howard Clarke v fernando Vargas
    Gary Lockett v Kelly pavlik
    Kevin lueshing v Felix trinidad

    All had 0 chance of winning and Clarke probably the least likely ever given his opponent

    Hatton and froch had a chance of winning all be it a small chance. The same cant be said for lueshing, Clarke, Jennings and lockett

    Rendall Munroe when he fought in Japan springs to mind as does robin Reid fighting for the title in Italy.
