    Are you asking where it'd rank in upsets, or where it'd rank in best wins?

    because you just thanked someone for talking upsets, but that wasn't the actual question, right?

    that's right.
    Hatton was no bigger than 2/1 underdog against Tszyu, Arthur is available at at least twice those odds. I think Benn was about 3/1 against McClellan, so an Arthur win would be in the same bracket as Honeyghan over Currie and Danny over Tyson.
    Hatton wasn't even that big an outsider against Tszyu....he has a lot of hometown factors running for him and it was recognised by the books that Tszyu was on his way out.

    the thread should have been "where would you personally rank this win amongst other great victories on uk soil"
