    I picked him to win that one ;)

    Still a decent away win considering where Enzo was in his career at that time.

    Barkley had arguably just beat Duran (WBC) and Nunn (IBF) - the Pacquaio and Mayweather of that time, and Benn almost KO'd him with the first punch of the fight.

    Beating Hopkins full stop is a great win IMO, it being ''away'' from home is just the icing on the cake

    I've been working on a list of the best away wins for a British fighter on-off for the last few months, so I know a thing or two about this subject! I didn't want to reveal too much, as the list is intended to be used for a thread in the future :p

    Yeah i suppose since what Hopkins has gone on to do since and just how hard he is to beat, then yeah it's a good win.

    Just scrappy and i think it could've went either way.

    Andries' rematch win over Harding deserves a mention.

    Benn/GalvanoI was no mean feat.

    Eubank/Rocchigiani

    Haye/Mormeck

    Laing/Duran

    Collins/Nicoletta

    Cook/Winterstein

    Hope/Antuofermo

    Considering he was an American citizen at the time and had been there a while I don't think Fitz-Corbett warrants a mention :bart
