Anyone got a top 10 list of the best fights they have seen on tv or witnessed live on british soil for atmosphere, names, fight action and prestige! Eubank v Benn Hatton v Tszyu Calzaghe v Lacy Froch v groves 2 Calzaghe v Kessler Froch v Kessler Lewis v Bruno And just because it was Tyson Tyson v Francis. I know a few of the older guys will know a few other fights but this was my era.
Hagler v Minter he went into the bear pit atmosphere at Wembley and won a fight he had to win was a real 50-50 on paper,Hagler was avoided big time,nasty atmosphere tbh but it was a fight made Hagler. Benn v GMac watching on tv brutal fight and intense crowd. Gomez v Alex Arthur deserves a mention domestically recent times totally partisan home support.
British soil fight that is legendary McGuigan v Pedroza 1985 at QPR football stadium west london. Massive crowd 27k and massive Irish and also British support on the the night for McGuigan.Pubs and clubs were packed that night.
Froch Groves 1 was better atmosphere 90% of crowd against Groves. Then when he landed that punch round 1, stunned silence, then obviously the finish ended up with Froch booed and Groves cheered.
Yes agree totally. Benn v Watson had a great atmosphere at Finsbury Park,Benn big favourite to win.Watson the underdog,was a big fan of him and always enjoyed watching Benn also served up so many great fights here and overseas.
