    Eubank had a great amateur win over Dennis Milton and schooled teak-tough Eric Holland. Benn-Quinones is up there.

    If Collins was British, he probably beat then-super-slick Reggie Johnson who was coming off being robbed against Toney.

    In fairness Calzaghe was 36 when he fought Jones who himself was only 37. It was Jones without PEDs hence why he was not as good.

    Jack "Kid" Berg had wins over Tony Canzoneri and an undefeated Kid Chocolate in 1930, true greats of that era.

    In my time, Honeyghan's win over Curry of course. 1986.

    Modern times has to be Honeyghan v Curry for me.

    Going to the USA and doing a number on Curry,rank outsider and beating a P4P top fighter of the day to the point he quit on his stool end of the 6th.
