    Honeyghan curry the biggest upset in my time.

    Calzaghe Lacy was a great display, just watched it again.

    Turpin and honeyghan beat the best p4p fighters at the time, so those wins rank most highly imo.

    Benn - mcClellan probably the most dramatic upset involving a British fighter.

    Calzaghe - Lacy most perfect performance from an underdog that you are likely to see.

    From the fights ive witnessed Benn V Mcellan is up there
    a proper tear up to quote benn, but I thought Robin Reid
    winning the Wbc title in italy against an Italian vincenzo nardiello
    was a great performance.

    that nardiello was hilarious. just didnt look or act like a boxer at all. proper sneaky fcuker as well, i remember benn beating him up and he blamed it on his boots.he ended up having an argument with benns dad in the ring afterwards. funny guy, but pretty ****.

    Most Exciting-Naz vs. Kelley

    Most Dominant-Calzaghe vs. Lacy

    Best-Honeyghan vs. Curry.

    Though Ken Buchanan's win over Laguna was very impressive too.

    Buchanan still seems unknown to a lot of British boxing 'fans', shame.

    mcgrain, i know you don't want to watch it again but if you can bring yourself to re-visit the mclellan fight you'd see a performance right up there with the best .
