Great British win's on American Soil.

I dunno.

What where they???????

I do know that Buchanan was plucked from relative obscurity to fight Laguana. He was, if you pardon the expression, a patsy.

 

Curry was 1/6; Honeyghan 8/1 against. Hence the double take I had when I realised my friend was on the level when he said the Raggamuffin Man had won! What next? A Brit taking a European Title from an Italian in Italy???? Oh wait!

 

It seems stupid if you wern't around at the time doesn't it? I was never sure about Hagler but I thought Curry would march through 154 without breaking a sweat and flatten Hearns on the way to a title fight at 160...

 

Don't get me wrong old chap. I'm in no way disregarding what Lloyd did against Curry. I just feel that Ken's achievements against Lugano were that much better.

Lloyd against Curry without a doubt stands the test of time and is an ATG upset.

 

And Buchanan and Laguan. What were the odds for the first fight??

 

Prescott was 9/1 against Khan.

The Colombian obviously kicks ass here.

 

Buchanan was a New York baby, thus those in know helped make it pick em (5-6), from what I read....

 

As was Honeyghan, more so IMO.

 

Honeyghan was Currys mandatory.

 

Well I picked Evander (in fight one) at 24/1 over Tyson!!!:yep:yep:yep But picked Bruno to win the Tyson rematchnut:nut.

Of course famously, the Mirage had 38/1 Douglas to beat Tyson!!!

 

Beating Roger Stafford (not Rosi) to get there!

 

No, it was Horace Shufford he beat to get the number 1 spot. I remember the fight, Shufford kept spitting on the floor in between exchanges, harry Carpenter wasn't impressed!!

 

Of course Laing stayed to form and disappeared for a year post Duran! After the two Jones bouts it was pretty obvious (without hindsight) Laing was always going to find a way to lose the big bouts, which shows you how bad late 82 Duran was!!!
