Best British Performance Overseas

Robin Reid Vs Nardiello

Benn Vs Barkley

 

Nothing compares to Lloyd Honeyghan`s win over Don Curry.Next best Buchanen v Laguna

 

I have to put a shout in for Jock McAvoy's 2 round destruction of reigning Middleweight Champion Babe Risko. Seemingly utterly forgotten now.

Benn’s win over Barkley.

 

Kid Lewis/ Jack Britton
Kid Berg/ Tony Canzonrie

 

Honeyghan beating Curry to become undisputed Welterweight champion.

John H Stracey beating Jose Naples to become WBC lineal Welterweight champion.

Fury beating Klitschko has to be mentioned, so does Fury beating Wilder.

 

Duran v Laing.

Curry v Honeyghan

 

I enjoyed that read, cheers.

 

Frampton vs Santa Cruz 1

Was a beautiful performance on the biggest of stages

Moved up in weight to beat the man at Superfeather weight who was previously undeafeated

stuff dreams are made of

 

Stracey-Napoles does get overlooked. Accepted that Napoles was on the slide, and he was always prone to cuts and bruising, but very few British fighters have a victory overseas against a longstanding champion of that calibre.

Yes, it was very much right place / right time, but probably no more than Hatton-Tszyu for example. Even Honeyghan-Curry and Turpin-Robinson I had some element of the stars aligning to them.

(only Honeyghan-Curry was overseas out of them, but just illustrating a point about how Stracey-Napoles often gets missed from that company)

 

Minter v Antuofermo 1.

Hope v Mattioli 1.

Boza-Edwards - Bazooka Limon.

Boza-Edwards - Chacon 1.

 

I met Laing a few times a few years ago......Really sad to see

 

Just imagine the scenes had Hatton beat Mayweather. Was not to be.

 

Nardiello was a literal ***** who probably should've been campaigning at 154lb, but wanted big money fights (got one vs Benn).

 

Not even that close to even landing a clean punch of any note, let alone beating him
