    where would his win rank in terms of wins on home soil in the u.k?

    i think it would not be ranked high enough by many, but i would class it very high indeed maybe top 5

    I'd say it sits just below the Hatton-Tszyu upset and just above the Benn-McLellon result.

    It'd be an amazing upset for Arthur.

    Hatton-Tszyu was a higher level fight, Tszyu was p4p top 3 and the undisputed champion;
    and while Guzman is very good, he isn't even the best at the weight, let alone a p4p fighter.

    For Arthur it'd be a bigger upset than Hatton beating Tszyu, but in terms of British wins it wouldn't be a top 5.

    I would put it pretty high but still not above the upset odds of JC beating Hopkins this weekend, that shits impossible.

    About the same as the Khan-ST Clair war for it all.

    I think he may well have to pull out a superman performance and i would rank it very highly

    Where would a Lockett victory over Pavlik rank? (I know it's not on home soil)

    A lockett victory would be the biggest upset of this century!
    On the level of Honeygan vs Curry.

    I was wondering if that was your opinion or the opinion of the general public ****ing IDIOT

    It's my opinion that it would be a massive upset but not an all-time great British victory. That's correct.

    Arthur hasn't even shown he's proper world class, so to beat a fighter like Guzman would be incredible for him personally.

    Rendog, you've got some attitude there buddy. The guy answered your question, so its pretty logical that its his opinion.
