    I go to a lot of boxing shows.
    Last couple I have been to was in Newport and Manchester last weekend and the weekend before.

    Best British boxers I have seen Live are Ricky Hatton, Robin Reid and David Haye.
    I watched Ricky's Debut in Widnes and his fight against Lazcano in Manchester.

    I watched Haye against Enzo and Ordinary

    Watched Reid several times but can't remember who against unfortunately!

    I have see a couple of John Murrrays bouts but I can't class him as the best...yet...

    Lennox Lewis v Al Malcolm at the Royal Albert Hall

    I said to all my mates this guy is the successor to Tyson who was destroying all comers at the time.

    2nd on my list is Colin McMillan on a George Foremman undercard. He looked 'Sweet' that night

    Ricky Hatton, was in vegas for the castillo fight, holiday was booked about 3 months before the fight was announced so it was a lucky break.

    Probably Froch, even though the fight was seriously gash.

    I rate him higher than Haye overall.

    Best British fighter I saw was also Lennox but not as glamorous as New York or Vegas like Gaz i saw him as an ickle boy smashing up Derek Williams at Albert Hall with my granddad.

    Best performance was Joooooooe Calzaghe v Lacy, awesome night that. 1 of those fights that get the nerves going and sheer thrill at realising they were unnecessary.

    Not popular at the mo but had good nights at york hall watching haye fight coming up, especially the fragomeni scrap
