Best mythical all time british fight

StGeorge how do you see berg vs Buchanan

 

Jock McAvoy v Nigel Benn

 

Total war not a distance fight

 

nigel benn v randy turpin at 160/168lb would sell out 2 stadiums
lynch v wilde at 112lb
buchanan v berg at 135lb
sibson v mcavoy at 168lb
hatton v berg at 140lb

 

lynch would enter the ring with a stone advantage and as you say lynch had the better feet which he developed as a dancer.
wilde was a freakishly big hitter for a man who weighed 7 stone at his peak but lynch was as hard as nails and possessed a big left hook which his fast feet enabled him to deliver quickly.

 

Minter vs eubank 160lbs

If minter can keep disciplined and box I can see him beating eubank

 

Len Harvey vs Dennis Andries could be an interesting one at light-heavy

 

Maybe not the best but potentially fun post 1945 battles:

Heavy: Harrison/Reid

200: Thompson/Notice

175: Andries/Finnegan

168: Wharton/Kaylor

160: Benn/Sibson

154: Hope/Graham

147: Honeyghan/Laing

140: Neary/Ryan

135: Schwer/Watt

130: Burns/Havard

126: McGuigan/Winstone

122: Frampton/Brodie

118: Owen/Rudkin

112: McAuley/Magri

 

excellent fun match ups

Heavy: Harrison/Reid (hard one to decide but think harrison would win if you mean Pelé Reid

200: Thompson/Notice (Thompson, too ffff hard)

175: Andries/Finnegan (cant decide / Draw)

168: Wharton/Kaylor (Kaylor)

160: Benn/Sibson (to be honest i favour Sibson)

154: Hope/Graham (Graham)

147: Honeyghan/Laing (Honey)

140: Neary/Ryan (Neary, Ryan's chin would let him down)

135: Schwer/Watt (Watt)

130: Burns/Havard (Floyd Harvard)

126: McGuigan/Winstone (Winstone)

122: Frampton/Brodie (Brodie just)

118: Owen/Rudkin (Owen)

112: McAuley/Magri (Think McAuley but always love Charlie so would want him to win)

 

Harrison vs Reid - if Reid starts likes he means business and quickly he could well land big first as Audley if confronted with a big punching opponent who starts quickly does go into a shell and not throw back . But I see both being a bit cautious and this for me will give Harrison a slight edge so with no real confidence I will go for audley by stoppage around the 4th or 5th.


Thompson vs notice - close call for me notice had to retire early due to eye problems Horace was a decent size and very durable at british heavy level and I I can't see Thompson hurting notice enough to trouble him. also I don't see him having a stamina problem so I see this going the distance if over 12 and notice taking a hard fought decision over thompson .



Andries vs finnegan - as much as I admire Andries for his dedication and work ethic I can't see past finnegan in this one , finnegan by UD



Wharton vs Kaylor - now at first sight I thought kaylor maybe I was being biased as kaylor always brings back exciting memories . Then I thought perhaps I was not giving Wharton enough credit . Wharton had a very good chin ,good enough to take kaylors best punches yeah I think so also if this turns into a war which would not be a surprise would it . The question could well be could kaylors chin hold up in a war with whartons's hook that's a question mark for me . Maybe Wharton wouldn't be able to keep kaylor down but a few 10-8 rounds could well swing the cards here.So I will shock myself and take Wharton by decision but will also say this match up would turn into a trilogy to find an outright winner.


Benn vs Sibson - for me Benn's speed could be the difference Benn by stoppage but would I bet my money on it No .


Hope vs Graham - I'd edge toward graham I think Hope would find graham very hard style wise - Graham by decision



Honeyghan vs Laing - a fight I have wished had happened many times . The honeyghan of the curry fight would surely be favourite but both of these were not exactly the most consistent in there minds when in training for fights . I am sure Laing wouldn't of been an easy fight for honeyghan but I will take honeyghan to win . Laing though could well win this fight .


Neary vs Ryan - (agree) neary's better chin would see him win this war . Neary by stoppage .



Schwer vs watt - watt by UD ( Schwer would be cut )




Burns vs Havard - Harvard was a classy fighter he could box well but suffered badly with injuries . Personally I am not a huge fan of burns but I would go with burns as havard could never really prove himself at world level due to his constant injuries .Burns by decision



Mcguigan vs winstone - good fight to watch but I would go for the boxing ability of winstone to take him to a decision win in an excellent contest .




Frampton vs Brodie - in all honesty I am not sue



Owen vs Rudkin - Owen was a freak of a fighter he looked incredibly fragile but was a hard man as much as I like Owen , Rudkin for me is just an all round better fighter - Rudkin by Decision



MCauley vs Magri - this could well be an up and down thriller , I would like you all to take into account that Magri was past his prime when he won his world title. Both would hit the canvas my worry for magri is that MCauley although also prone to hit the canvas usually showed a better level of recovery . I am going to let my heart rule my head and go with Magri by stoppage although if this fight goes past the 8th I would go for MCauley .

LW - Lafferty v Buchanan, winner verse who? Watt, Khan, who else

FW - Naz verse who?

BW - Bowker v Jim Brady winner verse who? Frampton...?

Middleweights, always the BEST...

McAvoy, Gilroy, R. Turpin, Casey, Sadd, D.Turpin verse Benn, Eubank, Watson, Sibson, Collins, Froch...

all at the O2.
