    Lennox v Tua, Calzaghe v Lacy, Michael Watson v Benn, and a daft one Clinton Woods v Rico Hope never put a foot wrong against a highly touted challenger

    Duke McKenzie was punch perfect against Gaby Canizales. That's the best display I've seen live.

    Benny Lynch vs Jackie Brown II, for the world flyweight title. Lynch was superb in that fight. One of the knock downs Benny avoids a punch by jumping back and bouncing off the rops to then spring forward and deliver a counter that puts Brown on the canvas. Great showing of skill. the fights on youtube if anybody wants to check it out, it only lasts 2 rounds.

    Most recent, i'll have to say Calzaghe doing a number on Lacy, some beautiful uppercuts shown from Joe in that fight. Lacy was kinda pish tho.

    Other fighters from our shores that could display a lot of class and skill were Buchanan and Conteh. Class technicians those two on their day.

    Hatton v Oliveira was more impressive for me. Didn't he KD Ray in less than 30 seconds for the first time in R.O's 50+-fight career (?), with an overhand right? And it was technical power because Hatton was a fighter who punched from the foot, not the arm. Then, proceeded to make very quick, darting lateral movements to create angles and get inside, showing elite agility in-close to get himself into great positions to unleash his flurries of punches - constantly bouncing around, constantly shifting his balance, head bobbing about and not taking a shot! Oliveira had about the highest output of punches in the game, yet could hardly get anything off against Hatton, testiment to Ricky's skill at the time - he got off first, had better timing than his opponent and made his opponent think too much due to his angles, feints and constant pressure, and while Ray was thinking, Hatton was hitting him.

    This was a punch-perfect display; he doesn't just go straight up-close and rely on the left to the body, but he's doubling-up on the jab, hitting Oliveira with uppercuts and overhand rights. He's even landing straight right leads flush onto Ray's chin, despite having about the shortest relative reach in the game. There was no rushing onto shots from Ricky, and no leaping in from out of his range here as per usual for him post-Tsyzu. He had too big a gaps between fights post-Oliveira and it was a downward spiral with his out-of-ring antics (eating too much ****, drinking too much ****), he was a physically shopworn 26/27-year-old in my view that wasn't from taking punches in the ring.

    Froch v Bute was Froch at his best. A defining fight against a champion.
